A good Christian novel with solid characters. Monica has predetermined that she doesn’t like Anthony Bullock. Based on his past, he’s the type of guy most Christian girls should pass on. But Monica doesn’t even try to find out anything about him, she is working with her assumptions and biases. Anthony, one of Mrs. Bullock’s handsome, saved, and successful sons. He has eyed Monica, and he’s ready to settle down and make her his. But Monica has a secret that might be a deal breaker if she’s thinks she wants to get with Anthony. This is a story of romance, but in the process of finding love, this duo has some hurdles to climb, and some expectations to let go of.

I liked this story, but I had one serious discrepancy. In the first book Faith and Monica had a discussion that maybe Faith was falling for the man she was with because of Nightingale effect and they saw it on a tv show. In this book when Monica told Faith that she may have Nightingale effect it was like that discussion never came up in the first book and Faith acted like she never heard of it before when they both said they had it seen it on a talk show. Other than the author forgetting that she wrote about that in her other book I still give it five stars. Great story.

Romancing Monica: A Christian Romance Novel

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Both Anthony and Monica had strong personalities. Anthony pursued Monica with all sincerity not willing to allow Monica's dislike of him to deter him. The chase was interesting and as I continued to read this novel I continued to root for Anthony. We learn that everything isn't always as it seems and secrets can paralyze and prevent one from achieving the life God has in store for them. Can Monica let go and let God be the center of life and joy? I loved, loved this novel despite a few typos.

Sweet and poignant

I enjoyed this book and the story related. The themes of infertility, adoption, chasing women and judging others was handled with care. I anticipate reading more of this author's work.

If I may suggest that you get another editor, some of your ideas conflicts the spelling and grammar is very bad. Also, the conversion and formatting is in need of correction.

Another great story

When Anthony found love nothing could stop him from making Monica see that they belonged together. She didn't make it easy but God had a plan that neither of them could imagine .
