For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
-Ephesians 2:8-9
“The One Who Sees Me” is the third book in the Sovereign Love series and my personal favourite of the series. I liked The One Who Knows Me, I enjoyed The One Who Loves Me but I absolutely adored this.
“I’m a new creation.” I blurt out the words from the first Bible verse I ever memorized. I need it to be true—especially right now. I can’t go back. I refuse to go back. “Anyone who belongs to Christ is a new person.” I repeat the words to myself. “The old life has gone. A new life has begun.”
We first met Heather Osborne in the first book when she was an angry, spiteful girl but now she’s grown into a level-headed woman who is seeing a therapist, reconciling with her dad and strengthening her relationship with God. Though her dream was to start her own business, when her start-up fails, she finds herself going back home to start an internship at Madu Health.
I have to admit that I was most excited for Heather’s story compared to everyone else’s. She was not a very nice person in the first book but reading about how much she’s grown, is still growing and doing everything she can to keep growing, was one of my most anticipated character arcs. I loved her storyline, especially her struggle in forgiving the one person she blamed for her acting out. Forgiveness is one of my favourite themes to follow and this book approached it beautifully.
Once a family, always a family, and you never let family down; that’s my dad’s favorite quote.
Emmanuel Madu is the eldest son of Chijioke Madu, the chief executive officer of Madu Health, and though he currently runs the marketing team, he is preparing to take over his father’s seat once he retires. But that isn’t what he wants. His dream is to take over his mother’s charity organisation but ever since her death, he’s struggled to speak up for himself. He keeps pushing forward the transfer of power but his father is determined to hand over the company once the marketing team is done with their current project.
Emmanuel was a wonderful character to follow. Having been born in a christian family, Emmanuel already had a strong foundation in his relationship with God but ever since his mother’s death, he’s struggled with maintaining that relationship. Though he still believed in God, he started: not reading his bible, not going to church, missing bible study with his sister and declining his friends’ invitations to christian events but once he met Heather and saw how dedicated she was in keeping that relationship, he stops giving excuses and dedicates his time.
The romance was adorable. They had me kicking my feet. It was a sweet friends to lovers relationship that had me praying, “God, where is my man?” (
I loved it. I loved it. I loved it. This marks one of the few romance books I’ve given five stars and with how rigidly I rate books, this is high praise
“I’m a new person. Saved. Redeemed. Sanctified.”

First thing's first, Miss Embola, I need that egusi soup recipe, pretty please?
Ok so, I read the first two books in this series last year and I have been *patiently* waiting for Heather's story ever since. Just like now I'll be waiting for Olanna's story which I'm super excited about. I fell in love with her while reading TOWSM and I imagine I'll love her even more in her own book.
As for Heather, she struggled a lot in her past, and her struggles aren't over in this book either, but she's learning to deal with them with God's help. She's also seeing a therapist and you can really see her progress from the start of the book till the end. I'm so so proud of her.
She and Emmanuel didn't start off on the right foot, but they were both dealing with their own issues. I like how they didn't rush into anything, relationship wise, it was a slower burn and felt natural.
They're perfect for one another, while Emmanuel helps Heather deal with her past, she helps him be confident enough to finally speak his mind and stand up for himself.
This book didn't shy away from some darker topics which were handled with grace. I also appreciate the warning at the start, reminding us to take a breather and pray when we feel the need to. Which is what I did after one specific chapter, hoping nothing bad would happen to Heather, and luckily Emmanuel was there to save the day. GO EMMANUEL!!!
Like the previous books, this one is rich in culture. I LOVED the Nigerian wedding, and the fact that Amara had to plan three ceremonies...I get it. My relatives did two, a civil one and a traditional/church one and I know lots of people who do two. But three, SHE MUST'VE BEEN SO STRESSED.
And I also went and looked up things I didn't already know (like the soup at the start, looks so yummy) and the Igwe song. I am actually certain I heard it before, but I'm not sure where. Either way, it's going on my playlist.
This series is really making me want to learn Yoruba and Igbo, they both sound beautiful and the glossary that's included in the book is helping me learn new words. I got a good 80 years left in me (being ambitious here, my family tends to live long), I'm sure I can learn something!!
Oh yes yes, I wanted to mention, this book (like the previous two) can be read as a standalone, but do yourself a favour and read the series in order, it's even more fun that way. Because we get updates on the two couples that came before, since they're all friends, so it's nice to see how they're doing now.

I received an eARC for review
Give this book a try, and you won’t regret it!
Even though this is the third book from the Sovereign Love series, The One Who Sees Me is the first book that I have read from the series. I appreciated the fact that I was able to enjoy the story as a standalone, even though the main characters from the previous books were loosely included.
This book for me got everything right! The funny thing is that contemporary romances are not a genre that I usually enjoy, but it was impossible not to fall for these characters and their stories. The switching of POVs added to the beauty of the story and was not disorientating. Deep cultural appreciation shone through, and I loved the addition of the glossary and name pronunciation guide. The painful stories of the characters were treated with compassion, and the Bible was not used to guilt the characters into ignoring their pain; instead, it was part of their healing journey from the pain. The topics truly spoke to me, and as someone who is on a healing journey, I found this book to be just what I needed. The romance between Emmanuel and Heather showed what a Godly relationship should look like. Their relationship was adorable, had boundaries, was in alignment with God’s plan for their lives, and God was truly the center of it. From the title of this book to the story within, this book radiates hope and gives assurance that no matter what you have been through, God sees you, loves you, and wants you to enjoy a wonderful future in Him.
Joan Embola has officially got a new fan, and I am so excited to read the first two books of the series and whatever comes next!

The One Who Sees Me is a beautiful story of forgiveness, family, and faith.
It’s the third book in the Love Sovereign series but it can easily be read as a standalone (although I highly recommend reading the whole series if you enjoy this one because they’re all good) and you’ll be able to follow along just fine.
This book greatly ministered to my heart and I couldn’t help but be convicted at times when it comes to the theme of forgiveness.
This line hit me so hard, it’s one of my favorites. 🥹
"How can I claim to believe in a merciful God when I don’t even try to love like Him?"
I adore the Love Sovereign series and I think Heather is the one MC I relate to the most. I love her character arc so much. She went through a lot and it was refreshing to see a new Christian navigating her walk with Jesus and battling temptation.
“Instead of putting a heavy emphasis on sin itself, keep your eyes on God. He has given us freedom from sin and freedom to live a righteous life.”
I also enjoyed watching Emmanuel’s arc as well, often I found myself relating to him a bit as well. If you struggle with being a bit of a people pleaser and striving after that Audience of One, check this book out to see how one character grapples with the same thorn in his flesh.
Emmanuel and Heather together was beautiful to see, the obstacles they were up against, together and individually. I've never read a workplace romance before but I really like how this one was written!
As always I love the godly friendships Embola writes in her stories, the wonderful support system that both MCs both have in their friends and family was delightful to see.
I highly recommend this to those who love edifying clean Christian romance novels, who may be a new Christian, and who like to see different cultures in stories (like Nigerian rep). The glossary was also much appreciated.
I had the lovely opportunity of beta-reading this book a couple of months ago and have been given a free arc. I must say it was amazing to see the new nuances and I love this story 10x more! This review is voluntary and these thoughts are my own.
As always I look forward to reading the next Embola book and cannot wait to see what's in store for a certain pair of characters. :)

I really enjoyed this book. I like the way in which God’s love is shown and the way his relationship with each character is shown! This was an easy read and I love the way God also spoke to me through it!

I was so excited and happy as I went through the third book of the series "The One who sees me " . It's so inspiring to see how God transforms the life of Heather and makes everything right , like it's just to prove that God sees us and what we go through we just have to let him in. Indeed we are his BELOVED . I really pray for anyone struggling with faith and self esteem to take a grab of this book it's worth it , not forgetting the love they share and how they go through it in the godly way indeed this is a book to read .
More wins and more grace to the author .

Two quotes that I loved ❤️:
“This must be what Hagar meant in the book of Genesis when she called God El Roi—the God who sees me. In that room where I felt helpless and almost gave up, He saw me. He always keeps me from falling.”
“Your entire experience will change when you learn how to depend on God alone. Never stop praying, keep on studying His Word, and make sure you have accountability. God is roaring behind you, ahead of you and all around you. It will be hard. You may get hurt, but keep fighting and don’t give up.”
This author has not failed me yet. I fell in love with this book just as much as I did the other two I’ve read. We all have our own battles, but God sees us even in our mess and will use it as a testimony to others. I pray that we keep fighting anyways and believe in our hearts we will overcome…because we will 🙏🏽. Also, I loved the relationship that transpired between the two of them. They pushed each other to do great things (beyond what they imagined), and built a solid foundation.

Love love love!
Joan Embola introduced me to Christian Romance and her series was the first ones I fell in love with.
The faith, the relationships, the romance. You can tell she adds pieces of herself in each of her books from including her culture to major life events.
Please please please give her books a chance! They will raise your standards even high, give you hope, and empower your faith as you read ❤️

As the other books from the series this one was also phenomenal... beautiful story, loved the fact that we get to see Heather happy...
I think that every Christian girlie who loves romance should read all of them, because that is how you set standards for yourself

This was probably my favorite book of the series so far. I took interest in Heather from book 1 and I was so glad to learn from her journey of healing and forgiveness. Manny also had some maning up to do ( pun intended 😂😂) Had me teary eyed as well
September 28, 2024
THIS WAS MY FAVOURITE ONE FROM THE SERIES SO FAR!!!!! Friends to lovers??? Count me in. I just found Heather and Emmanuel such relatable characters. And they are so inspiring with all that they’ve been through in their lives and they still trust God 100%. Their little romance was so cute, I hope they get married by book 4👀

J’ai trop aimé cette romance chrétienne, elle est simple et parfaite.
December 21, 2025
I absolutely love this author, she is amazing at making it romantic and Jesus centered. She proves that you don't need it to be secular to have you kicking your feet and butterflies in your stomach.
These books have helped me so much, when it comes to craving a romantic relationship. When I read secular romances I read them to experience a relationship I have yet to experience but in the end it just makes me feel empty and doesn't fill the void. When I should be filling the void with Jesus. When I read these books it reminds me that Jesus should be first before anyone and God has plan for me and I need to trust in that plan.
What I love about this book is the demonstration of the constant temptation satan puts in our lives. The constant struggle to deny our flesh. Heather had struggled with several addictions that she was constantly tempted with once she started following Jesus. And this just shows you that satan only attacks you when he's threatened by you.
I also loved that the author choose the name Emmanuel meaning God is with us, it is probably one of my favorite names of all time and I think it's beautiful that it was the name of Heather's love interest.
What I related to the most was when Heather and Emmanuel didn't feel enough and they questioned and called themselves a failure, because I struggle with not being enough and it just demonstrates the lies satan will tell you to get you away from God. Because we aren't enough but with God we are.
I also loved the inclusion of other cultures and appreciated adding real life issues to make it realistic.
Mrs. Embola if you're reading this I want you to know the way God has worked through you is amazing and beautiful. Your books are filled with such love and inspiration. God has used you in wonderous ways. And my dream one day is to be a Christian author and I pray that my work could someday be as good as yours. God bless you and Jesus loves you.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! I was so excited when I first saw the cover and I knew it would be Heathers book. I was excited to see how God would turn her from the angry, broken girl she was in book one to a strong woman of God and her journey was a beautiful one to see. The relationship between her and Emmanuel grew so beautifully and it was a joy and a blessing to read. This book made me so emotional. I cannot relate to many of the struggles that Emmanuel and Heather faced, but watching the way God never gave up on them resonated a lot with me. He truly never gives up on His children. We are His beloved creation.
April 8, 2025
This was such a good read. It was my first time reading a Christian romance novel and I loved every moment in this book, it was not boring or cringe and I related to the characters so much especially Emmanuel. I loved how it portrayed the struggles that beginner Christians or Christians in general face. E.g temptations, forgiveness, Identity
This book drew me closer to God as I became more aware of his presence and knowing that he can help me through anything in life. Thank you Joan for your obedience 🙏❤️ for it is has and keep on touching people's lives. May the Lord bless you abundantly.

I laughed, I cried, I swooned, I meditated and was edified. This book was a whole experience and journey. I absolutely adore Emmanuel and Heathers relationship and individual growth, the relationship was clearly born out of Christ and I loved how realistic the struggles of being a Christian daily was portrayed. My favourite out the Sovereign Love series so far, so excited to read the fourth!!
No complaints, I adored this story🥺

A beautiful love story between one individual battling childhood hurt/unforgiveness & another individual battling people pleasing. With hearts open to God's wonder working power, they grow together, building each other up & those around them. It's a refreshing read that'll leave you smiling and with a reminder of God's love and grace.
October 20, 2023
I enjoyed Heather's story! It's a good reminder that God sees us and accepts us when we come as we are! I loved that it touches on common issues in the society and ways we can work through them.
Well done Joan👏🏾 now I'm patiently waiting for Olannas story😁

I loved the book and the entire book series. You know those things God wants you to see in certain time of your life? This book was definitely. I had been putting off reading it for a while, and it felt right this year. God is good.

Amazing book! Seeing Heather grow from the first book to now is just inspiring! I love how the author puts real situations that people go through and how the Lord is with you and can help you through anything!
April 7, 2025
It was refreshing to read a novel where the characters were faith driven and believed in God. It was a good story, with a powerful testimony, from Heather, to her mother. I am looking forward to reading the other books in the series. I will admit it got a little cheesy in the last three chapters, too much “baby” and “aww”, sorry. But it was a good and quick read.
August 3, 2023
I loved this one! This story is an amazing story of second chances, healing and restoration. Thanks Joan❤

not one, not two and not even three but God is still in the business of multiple chances! thank you Father <3

Awesome book!
January 25, 2025
THIS BOOK WOW!!! This book is so good the way Heathers issues and past trauma was written was so relatable. As Christian’s navigating childhood trauma and unforgiveness is very awkward but the way this was written it was like Heather was me. Her and Emmanuel are so cute together I love them soooo much. El Roi- the one who sees me is such a fitting title, this book made me see how the Lord sees me and helps me even when I’m unaware. Also potentially cried LOL
January 18, 2026
Had me up until 4 am hooked!!
Beautiful Christian Story! Entertaining, had me completely hooked. I loved the characters, the pace of the story and how God and scripture was beautifully tied into the story. Cant wait to read the next!

More!!!! I need more stories from this author on the lives of these 3 characters or new ones! It’s so funny because once I got to Heather’s story I thought why do these friends remind me of Penny Proud, Dijonay Jones, and Zoey Howzer Christian versions of course! In my top 3 books for 2023.
