“This is love. Wherever we are and whatever we go through, this is home. And because of it, I’ve found everything I’ve needed all along.“
Though I don’t typically quote the end of a story in my review, the events leading up to the wedding in this story were so engaging I read it in two days! The moment Martha’s cousin said that she and her fiancé are both “playing a game of chess”, I worried that she might not get a Happily Ever After. In the previous story, if Martha had questions, she demanded answers. This time, we saw a softer side of her. Rather than getting angry, she thought about Oji’s ringless proposal until she almost combusted. LOL. I won’t delve into why Martha finally discussed the topic, but the tension leading to that moment, Oji’s momma, and Martha’s past insecurities made for a compelling narrative.
The author’s research, realistic depiction of dementia, and Martha and Oji’s premarital counseling are other aspects I found commendable. Now I’m waiting for Mary’s HEA, as I recall from the first story, her ex-boyfriend was horrible.
Great story for those who love contemporary romance, African American stories, family sagas, inspiration, Women’s fiction, and Christian romance.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher. All words are my own.
