Another great book by Nicole Deese! My favorite part of this book was reading the story from Callie’s point of view and then the next chapter is from Davis’ point of view. I loved being able to understand how each of them was experiencing life. Callie brings life and color wherever she goes and I would definitely want her as a friend! Davis is serious but has a soft side.

Another heartwarming faith-filled novel by Robin Lee Hatcher! It’s a story of love, healing, and forgiveness. Jessica is widowed, pregnant, and harboring a secret of her husband’s betrayal. Ridley, her new neighbor, is also dealing with his own hurts.

The Dating Charade will have you laughing from start to finish! It’s a sweet story of two people who start dating. They each end up with three kids but decide to keep it from one another. Cassie and Jett’s story is lighthearted and fun but also deals with tough issues like foster care and adoption. I loved this book and recommend it.
