This was definitely a solid and enjoyable read from debut author, Lisa Washington. My rating would fall between a 3.5 and 4, but I’m happy to rate it as a 4. After reading this, it is clear to me that Lisa has wonderful potential as a writer, and I hope she will continue writing good stories and honing her craft. Although the story was enjoyable, I felt the plot could have been flushed out to better move the story forward and to further develop the characters. There were some issues with the story timeline that impeded the flow of the story in my mind. I was happy to read that a story focusing on Monica and Ric because I felt most of the characters to be likeable and as a reader I wanted to know more about them. Kudos to Lisa for finishing her first novel. What an accomplishment!
This is such an engaging work and a beautiful concoction of intrigue, romance, drama & faith!! I loved the characters. I am truly looking forward too the next title from Lisa Washington!
When You Least Expect It preaches intense faith in God. It also preaches on patience and that we should Beverley to rush any process. It was an easy read with realistic characters.
