    The story was wonderful. However, I just did not feel a connection with the characters. To me that is extremely important. That makes me feel involved in the book. Since I didn’t feel as involved, it took me longer then usual to get through this book.Even though I didn’t feel like I knew the characters, I did enjoy the plot. The description of New Orleans was superb. It was interesting to see how they reacted to some of the situations, especially since Luc and Katie are from such different backgrounds.Overall, it was an okay book.In conjunction with the Wakela's World Disclosure Statement, I received a product in order to enable my review. No other compensation has been received. My statements are an honest account of my experience with the brand. The opinions stated here are mine alone.

    This book is under the Christian fiction romance category but if it wasn’t for scattered mentions of a church and pastor, I thought that it didn’t deserve to be in the Christian category. In a couple of chapters, there was a brief mention of an immoral incident that happened in the early years of Katie’s and Luc’s relationship. However, there was no mention of sorriness for what had happened and the remorse shown was only for the public humiliation. This book will definitely make an interesting read for chick lit fans, but for those who are looking for a completely wholesome Christian book, this won’t be ideal.

    This story captured me so much I read it through in two sittings. This is classic Billerbeck minus some of the snark. I really liked all of the characters in this book. Well, Dex was pretty blah, but that was still good characterization on the author's part. Wonderful romance. Great setting.
