Great continuation of the series as Faith showed her true self. There were times her actions were self centered and caused me to dislike her. The fact she was not truthful with Blaise was wrong. I thought she acted similar to her "mother". Emotional scenes were well written. Realistic storyline as family secrets were told. The ending was dramatic and I'm looking forward to reading next part.

Same woman learns she hasn’t resolved all of her issues but is marrying the man of her dreams. There are secrets and the plot was predictable as a Book 2.

This book was great! I cried, laughed and prayed while reading it! I can't wait for Book 3 to come out!

Michelle Stimpson and Gina Johnson held nothing back in Love Disguised, book two of the Faith in Love series. Picking up from where book one left off, Love Disguised is a super-fast read that one can finish in one sitting.
Faith and Blaise are on cloud nine from an amazing cruise that led to their newfound love, an engagement, and a turbulence journey filled with ups and downs, questionable moments and shocking secrets that could cause a halt to their life of forever. Love, trust, and communication bound by fear of the unknown can prove damaging to any relationship. Faith and Blaise are not exempt. They quickly find themselves in the fight of their lives, family, and relationship. In the midst of it all, they must find strength in themselves, each other and love before it is too late.
The authors brought it with the realness and relatability of the characters. The action-packed storyline filled with suspense, twist, and turns keeps you in anticipation of what’s next. Stimpson and Johnson hit you with headliners that holds true to what’s done in the dark is sure to come to light. However, this remarkable story reminds you of the power of love, faith, and prayer.
I thoroughly enjoy this read, and I look forward to the next book in the Faith in Love series.

I love this second part to this series. It takes you deeper into the lives of Faith and Basil after meeting on a cruise. The way there love came together that you can feel their emotions while reading. After Faith having a terrible secret, you see how it affects Faith and her relationship with her now fiancé Basil. Faith sometimes questions her trust and not also feel like she can’t carry half of the weight when it comes to finances being 50/50. Basil is carefree and doesn’t mind doing things big because he can afford to and does not look for his wife to go half on everything.
I was hoping Faith would change her stubbornness and let Basil be the godly man he is. You will have to read and see for yourself what happens. Prayerfully they will allow God to show them the way they should be with each other according to his Word.
I highly recommend this book to read. You will not be disappointed.

Love Disguised. I didn't think Michelle and Gina could out do themselves. I was wrong. This book was amazing! I laughed and cried so much reading this book. My heart was overwhelmed by this story. It is a very realistic story that many men and women go through. Keeping God as the focal point in your life helps you through all of the ups and downs we go through to be happy and fullfilled. Faith is a strong woman going through life learning how to rely on the only thing that will get you through life -God! Blaise already knows to hang unto the one thing that kept him sane and strong -God. This is a must read book! Can't wait for the next book! *** I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book. All opinions stated are solely my own and no one else’s. ***

The story really gets intense in this second book of the Faith In Love series. I enjoyed how the conflict the characters faced was genuine and had two clear opposing viewpoints that both were valid.
The bits of Black History sprinkled in were a pleasant addition!
I liked that counseling was included as part of the characters actions. With the stigma of counseling in some communities of color, I appreciate that counseling was seen as normal in the story.
I look forward to reading more of Blaise & Faith’s journey!

Faith and Blaise are back, headed for the alter. It seems Faith has some insecurities about Blaise’s wealth and fear of underlying control issues.
Faith and Blaise both experience losses in their lives. Blaise reveals one secret but Faith holds on to hers. Will this secret be the end of them. Can’t wait for the next book to see how it ends.

Fascinating book! I loved it. The book kept flowing from book one, I was unable to put it down until I finished it. It's re a life scernio and biblical aspects that take place in Faith and Blaise life. The authors really brought out the in importance of prayer and faith. I was on the edge of my seat at times. The book is a must read. Can't wait for part 3.

Michelle and Gina has done it again with this book. I absolutely loved reading it. Faith learns some devastating news about her family and is keeping a huge secret from Blaise. I think that his love for her will get him through it, but she should have told him before they were married. I can’t wait to read book three. Great read!

I Loved It ...
I'm really liking this series if books. At first it was hard to read this one. It hit really close to home for me. (being adopted). I actually had to stop reading for a few days to regroup. Once I did I was glad that I continued reading it. Thank you both for the realism of the book. Awesome job.
I can't wait to read the next one.

Love Disguised: A Christian Romance (with in Love Book2)
Book 2 touched my heart more than book one.was concerned that Faith might change her mind about Blaise. Glad she did what she did about Alphonzo. Very satisfied with the way the wedding came off. Getting ready for book 3. Michelle and Gina continue the good work.

Faith???
The character in the book Faith had we wanting to shake her and pray for her at the same time. I suggest that you read the book before this so you will know how the couple met each. This author never disappoints and I will be checking out the co-authors books as well. Great Christian clean read!!!!! Thank you.

Book 2 did not disappoint. I like that I was able to learn more about the characters background in this book. Faith was really developed as a character and her insecurities were explained more. This book was so well written, I just wanted to read more, so I went straight to the 3rd book after finishing it. This was an awesome book and very well written.

This one was a rollercoaster!
My emotions were all over the place with this one! One minute I'm laughing at something hilarious a character said or did, the next I'm arguing with the main character, Faith, and lastly I'd be in tears. As usual, the book in this series is very good. This one ended with a cliffhanger.

I couldn't put the book down I was so glad that Faith prayed for her Family members and Blaise. I can't wait to read the third installment of the series. God always answers our prayers no matter what oh how he loves us.

I loved the story Gina and Michelle. I've always loved Michelle's work so I had no doubt that this one would be a solid read. I have issues with Faith for obvious reasons, but I hope she and Blaise can work through it. On to book 3!

Ok I liked book one better than book two because I was "sicka" Faith. She was too much of a whining fault finder this time around. I almost stopped reading but it too short so I pressed on. I'm glad Faith somewhat redeemed herself at the end but I hope she comes full circle in book three.

Done in the Dark
There are so many instances of truth coming to light in the story of Blaise and Faith. You should always be upfront because the dark will come to the light whether you are ready or not. Don’t want to spoil the story for others.

The plot develops very quickly, but the cliff hanger at the end leaves you wanting more. Looking forward to the next book.

So Upset
Why is the woman praying and being deceptive towards her husband. He had the right to know about her health situation. I'm so upset!
