True Devotion

by Marta Perry

What kind of man turned away a pregnant woman? Susannah Laine could tell that Nathan Sloane had demons to wrestle with, but so did she. She’d come to Lakemont to find out what her late husband had been doing there before his sudden death. And she wasn’t leaving without an answer.…Susannah’s occupancy of the cottage where his wife had lived before her death reawakened painful memories for Nathan. Still, he couldn’t deny his attraction to Susannah, and reluctantly agreed to help in her search. But the truth they uncovered threatened their burgeoning romance. Could God now give Susannah the strength to overcome her past and embrace this second chance at happiness?

I borrowed this book from the local library. I enjoy reading the inspirational romance books because they are clean love filling romance. This book is about a man and a lady who both have trials to overcome in their lives but help each other overcome those obstacles. Good, easy and quick read. With a happy ending.

He lied to her!
He said he was going to Boston for a conference.
When he was killed in an auto accident, he wasn't anywhere near Boston.
She didn't think he would cheat; but then why was he in the wrong place?
Eight months pregnant she has traveled to the small town where the accident happened.
She is staying at the lodge where he stayed, trying to figure it all out.
The owner's son Nathan comes to tell Susannah she has to leave. His father is a heart patient. His step-sister made a mistake. They are getting ready to close. And besides, a pregnant woman shouldn't be in this isolated area alone.
She has her secrets. Nathan has his own guilt. The step-sister has her drama. The father has his own story. What will they learn about each other?
What will they learn about caring for another?
Can any of them forgive?
How will they go on with life?

One of the best love inspired novels I've read, but the ending was just a little to pat, for me.
