A cute short story of coworkers, them kinda boss to lovers. Malcolm is real sweet on Shay, but not initially for the right reason. After undergoing a heart transformation, he started to see life including Shay differently. Shay experienced her own life transformation and she too saw life and herself thru a different lens and was far from desiring to be in a relationship. As they worked on themselves, God allowed some other things to work.

Delightful
This is the first book that I have read from this author. The story was familiar however, the author made it refreshing. I certainly will read more of her work. The scriptures added were well taken and heart warming. You have yourself another fan.

This is a story that has been told many times but I like how Vanessa told it this time. It was reminder to all to believe what we pray when we pray.
