About the book:
Realtor Hannah Thornton has many talents.
Unfortunately, selling houses isn't one of them.
When a business tycoon determines to raze historic homes in the small town of Heritage, Michigan, and replace them with a strip mall, Hannah resolves to stop him. She sets about helping Heritage win a restoration grant that will put the town back on the map--and hopefully restore her disgraced family name. But she'll need help to do it.
As a foster kid, Luke Johnson never truly felt he belonged. Now he has a chance to earn his place in his hometown. But he doesn't anticipate how his relationship with Hannah will set into motion events that reveal the truth about who he is--and who he was.
My review:
I absolutely loved this book! Best friends who have secret crushes on each other and a bachelor auction! What more could a girl ask for! Luke was my favorite character, a good guy who wanted a family of his own and to belong, yet felt like he wasn't enough. He's always supported Hannah but sometimes she goes too far with her ideas. Hannah has tried to control everything ever since her mom left when she was a kid. She would like a happily ever after for herself but doesn't want to be rejected again. There were a lot of cute moments between Luke and Hannah as they fight their feelings for each other. I liked that we got a second story line about Hannah's brother, Thomas, and his ex-girlfriend, Janie. Janie was a strong Christian but was questioning what God was doing in her situation with Thomas and Hannah and Luke both were struggling a bit with their faith. I loved Nate, the new pastor, a tattoo-wearing, motorcycle-driving guy who's full of wisdom for everyone but seemed to have a bit of a relationship problem himself. He gave wonderful wisdom about putting God first. The conversation about adoption brought tears to my eyes; there were also some funny parts in the story. I loved the references to the movie, "Say Anything." I highly recommend this book if you like romance!
I received this book from Revell. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
