Dawn and Autumn were raised by there mother when dad was busy being occupied by substance abuse. Obviously this affected there growing up and becoming women and the roads they took in life. Their dad turned his life around by the grace of God and moved on from the for benefits only relationship with there mother. There mother couldn't accept that and tried her best to ruin his new life. The effects of growing up shows up in there romantic relationships and how to commemorate a new baby sister, step-mother and budding romances. Dawn the younger of the two twins is in love with her college basketball sweetheart who her sister feels is physically and mentally abusing her. Autumn who loves her mother dearly and is having a hard time loving her dad's new role chose to get into a relationship with a man from old money and a large white family. Trying to inter-relate all of this into her new family and control her sister is a story of high drama. Great story line, fast pace and plenty of suspense. Great follow-up in this triology of love and redemption.

An intense, thoughtful book that delves into the characters' psyches, as well as a wide range of emotions & problems. Problems & emotions that twins have, as well as fears of rejection, commitment, anger, bitterness, rage, misplaced resentment, intimidation & control, selfishness & vanity, the difference between accountability & invasion of privacy, being secure in one's self, unconditional love, and lupus. And, of course, love. You won't be able to put this book down, or to stop thinking about it! The ending will make you long for the next book in this series! I can only say, "Wow! What an excellent book!"

I have read all three books and believe this is the best in the series. I was shocked at the turn of events and how they played out. I was on vacation but could not put this book down. I finished it in two days because I was sneaking reading it. I enjoy the interplay of the sisters because of my closeness of my family in certain situations. The mother reminds me of some insecure and possessive people I know. Wilsons father wanting to control his life is very familiar. It leaves you hanging enough to want to know what happens next. The sport should have been baseball because she knocked it out of the park!

Amazing
Mrs. Woods did it again! She wrote another page turner, that keeps your full attention from beginning to end. There is nothing better than a story that can teach a lesson. Mrs. Woods' stories preach the gospel, only using words when necessary. I really enjoy reading about these characters, they make you feel like part of the family. I will be counting down the days until the next book release. Another wonderful 5 star read, that I highly recommend.

I enjoy all the books I've read by this author. There were some times things got confusing (when referencing previous accounts of things) however it does not stop me from giving this book the five stars it deserves. Looking forward to the next one

Enjoyable
This is the first time I read a book by this author and I really enjoyed it. There was a little drama, a little suspense but a lot of love. The love that the men had for their women is what most women want and need. Love like Christ loved the church. It was hard to see how a woman could actually stand by her man, as Shaylah did, only to see her man run off into the sunset and live happily ever after with his mistress. It would have been justifiable if his marriage went through something for leaving the woman who truly loved him. I hope to see her find her Boaz and make him realize the prize he left. I look forward to reading other books by Ms. Woods.

Loved it! Gripping, compassionate, and thought provoking are words that describe this book. The author tackled serious themes - domestic violence, forgiveness, and love. The story was intense but I absolutely loved it.
I was nervous about Dawn's relationship with Wilson. Thankfully, their love for each other enabled them to overcome. I loved that Wilson sought help for his “situation”.
Shayla!!! No words. I’ll leave it at that. Truthfully, I felt like praying for her.
I loved that the author took imperfect people and used their stories to point us to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanks, Genevieve! Highly recommend!

I truly enjoyed this book. Very hard to put it down. It dealt with some very serious issues that need awareness. I feel younger and older adults will enjoy this book.

Well, the girls are just spell bounding. The sisters have always been there for each other but one sister was determined to live her life and she and boyfriend saw fit. The other sister has always considered her sister when making a decision that would remove her from the other half of her heart. Their mama is really off the rocker. She feels betrayed and alone. She will do anything it takes to feel the love she gels she is owed. The father is finally becoming the man the GOD has wants and his life is one crisis after another. Will they all learn to co- exist or will their stubbornness tear them apart? Beautifully written and anxiously awaiting next installment.

Wow!!!
Genevieve Woods' book three of 'The Greatest Love', "Finding Him", truly does not disappoint. It was great learning Autumn and Dawn's back story and getting a true appreciation of Brock and Wilson's true love for the twins. Wow, my heart went out to Shayla, even though she has been wrong throughout this entire series. I love that we get to interact with all of the characters from the series. I try not to include spoilers in my reviews, so I'll just say the ending definitely caught me off guard.

August 23, 2016This is the 3rd book in the series and it was another great read. Mrs. Woods has done an excellent job in describing what some blended families go through and also the many issues that individuals suffer with. This book deals with depression, domestic violence, mental health and control issues. I have heard of Lupus but I didn't know it could effect individuals as described in this book.
I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series. Great job Mrs. Woods.

Another great book!
This book in the series gave more detail of Dawn and Autumn's life and struggles. It was a nice break in the storyline for the series. It also helped to understand what was going on in the other main characters lives in the series. It was a good read. I'm moving on to the next book now.

Awesome read. This book is filled with drama, and turns. Dawn and Autumn were twins. Autumn did not like what Wilson was putting out. Dawn did not think Wilson, her boyfriend was controlling. Forgiveness is something that you will read in this book. I loved this book. On to the next one.

Never a dull moment! Dawn and Autumn both have issues. Autumn loves her sister and is trying to protect her but she's overbearing. Dawn is more compassionate.

This story had me from page one! I love the realism of the characters and the smoothness of the plot development. It isn't easy to balance a good story with a moral lesson and the author does a good job.
I enjoyed the story and plan to get the next book!
