Dalton's Dilemma

by Lynn Bulock

When Lacey resolves to seek adventure, she didn't expect to run into a handsome, compelling guy at...of all places...a roller rink. She's surprised when Jack Dalton finds out that she's raising her four nieces and nephew and doesn't run away. They're drawn together as opposites who need each other. Practical tax-accountant Lacey is the perfect person to straighten out the business problems at Jack's family jewelry store. And creative, light-hearted Jack is just the kind of adventurous person Lacey longs to become. But both hold secrets that keep them from fully committing to a relationship. How far will you go for love? Both Lacey and Jack need to answer that question before they can try to build a life together.

Jack is a jewelry designer, and Lacey is an accountant, taking care of her nieces and nephew after a tragic accident involving her sister and brother-in-law. Thinking she will start a new tradition for the year, she decides to begin having adventures; enter Jack. I really enjoyed the idea that she is the one who has the strong faith, and Jack realizes that he wants what she has. This book shows the need to trust in the Lord, especially during circumstances we do not understand, but it is not too preachy. The reader is introduced to the concept of night terrors, and I think they are explained pretty well. There are quite a few characters in the book, but I think all of them are fleshed out enough that they enhance the story, not take away from it, including Jack's mother whom we do not meet until the end.

Wonderful book. Lacey kept her life organized and under control. Between working from home as a cpa and raising her nieces and nephew. Until she meets Jack Dalton. Then she learns the true meaning about letting the Lord have control.

Lacy and Jack--and Lacey's charges, her nieces and nephews--are charming characters, and the story is filled with love, fun, and faith.
