I can't remember the last time I read a book I enjoyed so much! I not only wanted to finish it as soon as possible, but also wanted to get the next book in the series as soon as I got to the end. This book was deep, emotional, honest, and intense. I love that the conflict was real and not something superficial. I loved that the characters were so similar, yet opposite, and that the author allows the crushing blow to cause Chloe to seek God for herself. I simply loved this book. I would have finished it in a day but had to get some sleep in order to get to an appointment earlier today.

I am also really glad that the story isn't over or completely resolved yet, so the saga continues. I have to say that I have never seen a book quite so edgy on the one hand, yet wholesome on the other. The characters are truly remarkable and believable. The faith element is going to hit some readers pretty hard, but in a good way. It delves into what faith really is and what it isn't. It goes deeper than the theological and touches on the heart issue. I can't say more without posting a spoiler.

Bottom line, this is the most inspiring and intriguing inspirational romance that I have read in years. It starts with an intense opening and really doesn't let up, which is why I found it so compulsively readable. Great job, Dayo! Can't wait to read the rest of the series. It's better than television!
