Pastor Derrick Caine's personal life comes tumbling down when his wife decides to leave him for another woman. As he is picking up the pieces of his life, he meets Rachel Buford, a widow whose husband died in a tragic accident. She is trying to get over the public embarrassment of his life, and doesn't think she can trust men again.
This beautifully written story restores one's faith in love. Derrick dated Rachel with intention, and even when unforeseen circumstances came their way, they still remained strong. My favorite character would have to be Derrick and the least favorite is Janet. You'll have to read the book to understand why. What I loved most is the abundance of scriptures to back up everything going on. I look forward to reading more from @gdwoodscreates.

Great Addition to this Series...
I really enjoyed Pastor Caine and Rachel's story. This is a nice addition to Genevieve Woods' amazing 'Greatest Love' series. I'm not sure what I was expecting "Finding Real Love" to entail, but I was more than satisfied with what I got. The character chemistry was on point for the lead character as well as the supporting cast. I'm geeked to know that we'll get to read Dr. Kimball's story soon. I'm also excited to read "Kaylee's Secrets" as well.

Amazing
Another excellent read from Ms Woods. I love that this book is romantic without all the detail. I love that a Pastor has trials and tribulations and knows how to put his faith to work. I love all of the relationships in this family - mother/son, mother/daughter in law, pastor/mentee, etc. I love that Ms Woods expounds on the scriptures and relating them to what the characters were going through. Highly recommended. Looking forward to the next chapter of their lives.

This is a beautifully-told love story. Author Genevieve Woods has written a compelling account of the love between Pastor Derrick Caine and Rachel Buford. It was great to read this second chance at love story and to watch it unfold. The author does an amazing job of conveying all the emotions that Derrick and Rachel go through. By the grace of God, they made it. I couldn't wait to read the wonderful ending.
The author has a flowing narrative style that engages the mind. Even the secondary characters were interesting. The prayers and messages in the book are sure to inspire readers.
Great job, Genevieve! I’m looking forward to your next book. Grab your copy!

Great story
This is a wonderful story of the power of love. I love Rachel because her journey led her to appreciate her worth and embrace it as well as the love she found with Pastor Caine. His journey was hard but he pushed through and became victorious. Sometimes life throws us curveball but through God's love for us, prayer, faith and determination we will persevere.

It brought tears of sorrow and happiness to me. I was so intrigued that the pastor had go through so much to find true love. Rachel had to be a strong woman for what she had to endured.

Loved it
Poor Emily certainly made a huge mistake. She allowed herself to be manipulated by Janet. Rachel and Derrick made an excellent couple. So much support from their family and the congregation.. After the pain they each suffered from their former spouse they deserved a HEA. GREAT STORY. Read it you won't be disappointed.

Excellent Reading!
I could not put this book down. I've read all of the books thus far and this by far to me was the best. Pastor caine and Rachel deserved love but all that they went through to be together showed that true love conquers all. I could read it again

Loved it!
Rachel and Derrick's happily ever after comes after experiencing life's challenges that are meant to destroy. I loved the Christian friends and Christian love the couple embraced on their way to happiness. A must read, especially for a Christian audience.

The Power of Trust
This a brilliant illustration to us all as to understand and exercise the belief that not everything we see is to be believed. I applaud you Ms Woods.

Really enjoyed this book!
Pastor really went through some stuff and yet his faith didn't waver. I skipped a couple of books in the series and was still able to keep up and I loved that about this author. Faith, hope and second chances were all through this book. I'm so here for it!
