Maggie Reynolds predicted she would have problems with showing up on her own. She needed to be where her former husband-to-be was unable to find her. What a fabulous hiding place—Nathan wouldn’t imagine she would go alone. Her self esteem was non-existent, especially after she caught him in bed with another woman. Maggie struggled with Drake’s attitude because she was desperate to get away and he was adamant she would not fit in.

Ms. Wendy Davy has done an incredible work with this book. Her two main characters were both strong personalities and they had each been sorely disappointed in their search for love. Each believed in trusting God with their lives, but often neither remembered to pray and submit to His will. These two were at cross-swords at first glance. We know that means that sparks will fly throughout the storyline.

The supporting characters were believable and greatly added to the flow of this story. The stringent rules necessary for survival at this secluded retreat came into play several times, some with humor and some with dire consequences. The three couples and Aunt Cammie were the only other temporary residents of the resort. The man who flew the plane back and forth to transport patrons of the retreat was comical as well as astute. Aunt Cammie, who had raised Drake, served as resort cook and took advantage of the opportunity to play matchmaker.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and recommend it highly. The story flowed so well I couldn’t believe when it ended. Even though it is an inspirational romance, it is not preachy or judgmental. It is a great read, fun and well worth your time.
