PREVAILING LOVE is a collection of three very different love stories in very different settings.
SEALED WITH A KISS is the story of Ethan Burke who becomes an unexpected father to Molly, his best friends’ eleven-year-old daughter. Molly, shocked and devastated with the loss of her parents hides away within herself and silences herself from the world. Ethan, trying to break through this wall Molly has erected, hires Hope Majors, a Christian counselor. Hope reach through the barriers to Molly’s heart and in the process touches Ethan’s heart as well.
THE WEDDING WISH brings two high school friends together as they work to comfort their mutual friend with terminal cancer. What they don’t know is while Leah feels her life slipping away, she is orchestrating the future for her infant daughter, Fiona.
MONTANA SKY finds Sky Allen, hometown veterinarian, protecting two wolves after their mother is killed. With a bounty on their heads, Sky must do all she can to keep the wolves whereabouts a secret. Chet Cozart, a neighboring rancher, knows exactly what Sky is doing, and fears for her safety. As he tries to persuade her to give up her cause, he finds himself drawn to the women with grit and termination.
I enjoyed all three of Loree Lough’s stories. I found myself enjoying the quick pace that the stories took in order to keep their page count down, but at times, I would’ve liked to have seen and experience more details and learned more about the characters. I’m not a fan of compilations, but PREVAILING LOVE definitely kept my interest.

Prevailing Love: 3-in-1 Collection: Sealed With a Kiss, the Wedding Wish, Montana Sky is three Christian romance novellas in one. The first is about Ethan, a jet-setting rich bachelor who inherits his best friends' eleven-year-old daughter when they are killed in a car accident. He takes her to see a Christian counselor and guess what happens? The second is about a woman who is dying. She has a baby daughter, but her husband recently died. However, she has two best friends from high school, one male and one female, both of whom she knows love the other--but neither of whom knows the other loves them. Guess what happens. The third is set in Montana ranch country and pits a rancher against a wolf-loving vet. Guess what happens.

I knew I wasn't getting any literary classic when I picked this book up, but what I wanted were some short fun light reads. Well, they were short and light, and last nite I was able to roll my eyes at the writing style and excessive scripture quotes and just go with the stories. I started the third one tonite, and just couldn't take it. Maybe it is like dessert--too much and you get sick. Unfortunately the first two story lines were reasonably good, given the genre, but the writing was just to sweet, and the characters were unrealistic. There was no real conflict, and no sexual (or romantic if that word makes you feel better) tension.
Grade D+ (I did make it through 2/3 of them)
