I love this book! It was a great illustration of the sterotypes that ministers face when it comes to love and marriage. I found Seth to be a sensitive, thoughtful man and Abbie was the perfect partner. I've read it twice and look forward to reading it again. It's a must read!

I love sweet romances about ministers who act like men, not monks. I adored the real-life, small town setting, and the characters were very real and full of fun. I liked that Abbie didn't have to be a Stepford-like "church wife" for Seth, and that even though he didn't ask her to change, she didn't end up changing who she was to please him, that they could both take joy in each other just the way God Himself made them. Just because someone isn't as religious doesn't make them any less spiritual, though Abbie will be going to church more often anyway, just as if Seth were a baseball player, she would be going to see him play. The so-called "black moment" in romantic fiction lasted about a page, and really wasn't much of a conflict, but this was a lighthearted romance, and such a minor sin is forgivable because a story, like life, is not always about the destination, but also the journey.
