Love Pact With the Hero

GIVEAWAY

HO, LIWEN Y.

LOVE PACK WITH THE HERO

Two best friends. One little girl's prayers. And a love pact that may be the answer to all their Christmas wishes.

Haven Alexander used to believe in happy ever afters -- before she lost her husband became a single mom. These days, she keeps herself busy as the event planner at Freedom Ridge Lodge, helping to make other couples' dreams come true. Her other job? Humouring Miah, her spunky three-year-old daughter, who has a dream other own, finding herself a daddy. This task proves challenging, though, when Miah sets her sights on Haven's childhood friend who comes home for a visit.

Jeremiah Gilbert left Freedom a dozen years ago with a bad reputation and an even worse regret...not confessing his love for his best friend, Haven. He has returned, however, older and wiser and ready to rekindle their friendship -- and more. There's a promise on the line, one they made in high school, that he longs to fulfill. Winning over her daughter, Miah, is easy, but helping to heal Haven's heart proves to be nearly impossible.

When Miah gets into a dangerous situation, Therese old friends must put the past behind them and find new ways to trust in each other and in the One able to meet their deepest needs.

My Review:

A fun and flirty holiday escape read.

I love the friends to more trope and this one is fabulous. There's an immediate connection between Haven and Jeremiah from the first time they meet...er re-meet...even though they've both been through a lot personally. But it's as if the fates have conspired to bring them together under the perfect little matchmaker's watchful eyes. Jeremiah is totally on board, but Haven is wary of trusting her heart and her future again.

Love the way the romance develops -- the way they slide back into their easy 'best friends banter' which is all kinds of fun. Especially since now there's an undercurrent of electricity that wasn't there before. Sometimes that charged atmosphere is in danger of melting all the lovely holiday snow! And Jeremiah's pursuit is so tender and thoughtful and weighted in prayer. 

Which brings me to this lovely fact: as much as the romance is all kinds of fun, there's also a touching inspirational thread and brings added depth to this tender love story.

"God has been good to me. He took the mess I'd made of my life and brought me through it. I can honestly say that I'm grateful for everything that happened. Without the brokenness, I wouldn't have understood how much I needed Him to make me whole." (p 108)

A sweet romance centered around friends and family and the hope that comes from placing your trust in a loving Father. His plans are always the best ones!
