Okay, I must admit I am quite torn on how to rate/review this book. At times I loved it, at times I hated it, and other times I thought it was just 'okay.' I was all over the board with this one, but since I felt happy they married at the end, I went ahead and gave it four stars...
The story in itself is quite...uh...strange...two people - a man and a woman - both with the last name of Stewart, and the same first initial - receive a letter/phone call stating they'd just won $50,000. Come to find out, the whole thing was quite strange from the beginning.
So, this couple hate each other/like each other/hate each other/date each other/hate each other/kiss each other...well, you get the picture...and I'm not talking about just a little kissing - I'm talking about major make out sessions...I felt their kissing was a bit over the top of a supposedly "Christian" romance...But hey, sex sells, right?
Okay, then they move in together, go to the beach and have a pretty 'hot' day (and no, it's not all weather related)...
I must admit I thought Hope's story was much more realistic than the Stewerts', but that's just me...Oh, and I must admit I LOVED it when Faith showed up on Mitch's doorstep and announced that she was moving in...PRICELESS!!!
Okay, so the oddest part of the whole story was when Mitch was stalking Melanie after he asked her to marry him. I mean, he was OBSESSED and very over-bearing. If I had been Melanie, I would have run far, far away. I'd have called the cops and gotten a restraining order...it really made me VERY UNCOMFORTABLE...I skimmed through some of that part and even thought about not even finishing the book - that's how turned off I was...But I stuck with it and am glad I did because I liked the ending - when they finally dealt with all their bad stuff and got together...
SO...like I said, I can't decide if I liked this book or not...

It's a God's given gift, that my instincts tells me to read this first even before I haven't done reading the Twelve times Blessed. Super nice novel :) it's a very romantic, and so inspiring tehehehe. This novel, open my mind about what God can do His mysterious ways to mold your life and to become a the best person you can be when your really meet the One.
