AAAAHHHH, I LOVE Brady!! He is very religious, but he's also a brooding, angry man under it all, so he's not goody-goody or boring by any means! And I LOVE, LOVE that when it came time for his "secret" to be told/found out, things didn't just go smoothly and everybody just go, "It's OK, we love you anyway..." There was true, raw, crazy emotions that erupted, and things got crazy, twisty, turny...SO GOOD!! Have to give this 5 STARS!! I had a few annoyances with this book, but they were overshadowed by the surprises and twists and turns, and how SO VERY GOOD the story is between the main characters!!! I LOVED IT! I started getting a bit annoyed that Brady seemed so self-righteous with denying giving affection to Beth, but then you learn he really does have a "skeleton in the closet" that causes him to feel disgusted about having feelings for a woman. That made it real and heart-wrenching! This definetly ended up being a top favorite of mine!!


If you want to know, these were the minor annoyances.... I thought there was a little too much time spent on other family members and their current little fights, make-ups, ect. I mean it was cute and nice to an extent, but I really wanted to get on with the main characters. I supose I'd enjoy those parts more reading subsequent times when I'm not anxious to find out how things work out for the main characters. And then there was the annoyance of every single situation everybody said, "Will you pray with me/for me/we should pray about this/with God this will work out"....I know this is a Christian-Romance, but it was a little much (for me anyway, but I don't normally read Christian books). But those things were minor and didn't stop me from loving this or keep it from being a top favorite of mine!!
