From Booklist
Zoe Clarke is a college-educated woman with a strong Christian foundation. On her wedding day, her college sweetheart dumps her for his pregnant girlfriend. After investing four years of her life in that relationship, she is devastated, with no job or apartment. In an attempt to get over the hurt, pain, and confusion, she finds consolation in her ex's roommate and best man, Chase Farr. As he pursues his dream of being picked up by a pro football team, he is also committed to helping Zoe through her grief. Chase finally receives an offer, and as his friendship with Zoe grows so does their attraction for one another. Yet, Chase is committed to a life of celibacy, and Zoe's efforts at seduction only succeed at damaging their relationship. As Zoe deals with other family issues, she finds strength in her faith and realizes that her future with or without Chase is not in her control. Lillian Lewis

3.0 out of 5 stars In The Midst of the Storm, June 5, 2003

By	J.C. Wallington "jnettefrommi" (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews

When Zoe Clarke wakes up on her wedding day and it is storming ferociously outside, she should have taken it as a clue that God was not smiling down on her proposed union to Devyn Jackson. In A Lova' Like No Otha' by Stephanie Perry Moore, storms are raging quite a bit in the life of Zoe, usually when God is trying to tell her something.

After being jilted at the altar by Devyn, then crying and beseeching the Lord, Zoe ends up at Devyn's apartment, being comforted by Chase Farr, Devyn's best friend and roommate. He allows her to stay at the apartment and helps her through this trying time. From this point the story gets a little unbelievable and things happen very fast. Zoe finds herself attracted to Chase and wants a relationship with him. They move to Seattle to follow Chase's dream of being a pro football player. Both Chase and Zoe profess to be Christians, with Chase being much more committed than Zoe. Zoe does some things that are against Chase beliefs and he ends their relationship. Zoe returns home, but is called back to Seattle for a job and hopefully back into Chase life.

In this Christian novel Zoe and Chase sought the Lord regularly when the storms of life became too much for them to bear alone. While they had a strong prayer life, they did not attend church, which I found a bit disturbing. They had no spiritual covering, no guidance except for friends. It seemed to me that is why Zoe was so weak. I just could not find a way to like or feel compassion for Zoe as I found her to be fickle and immature. There are good strong messages throughout the book that would be valuable to the population it was intended for, teenagers and young adults.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Annointed Author and Work of God, July 25, 2003

By	Natasha Weatherspoon "Tasha727" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A Lova' Like No Otha' is a page turner if I've ever seen one! I was captivated from page one and couldn't put the book down until I had read every word. This book ministered to my soul. It gave me encouragement and hope that I to could be strong in the Lord even in this world that we live in. I thank God for Stepanie Perry Moore. The characters were honest and believable, and often times I thought she was writing about ME!! I cried with Zoe, the main character, through her ups an downs; in near fatal situatons I held my breath. And in breathtaking moments, I felt like I was right there with her; crying tears of hapiness. I couldn't believe the way in wich this story was woven to flow so nicely and include so much action, so much love, but most of all...so much faith. God was all up in this book!! If you are searching for a nice and easy profound blessing to read, look no further...A LOVA' LIKE NO OTHA' is it!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting in touch with your FIRST love!, October 7, 2003

By	KT (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I loved this book! I will recommend it to anyone wanting to start a PERSONAL relationship with Christ. He is our FIRST love! If you want to get married and you are saved- this is a MUST READ! When you've got him- you got it ALL. It's hard for us to figure that out sometimes, but thankfully He offers us GRACE daily so that we can eventually learn to trust Him more.

Storms WILL come, we have to learn to trust the ONLY one that can calm the storm and you at the same time.

I am happy for Zoe and Chase. Thanks Stephanie for a REAL love story. HE is A "Lova' like no 'Otha".

SUPERB ending!! I can't wait for part II. There is going to be a part two?
