About the book:

Someone Like You (Bethany House, May 2016)

Single mom Julia Dare has a lot on her plate.

A brand new Christian, Julia is busy trying to run her own business, spend time with her widowed mother, and raise her young son, Max, despite his father’s less-than-ideal influence on him. When a big account from her event-planning business sends her to the Caliente Springs resort, she’s shocked to come face-to-face with Zeke Monroe, the resort’s general manager and her college sweetheart.

With his faith in tatters, Zeke Monroe is determined to keep the historic Caliente Springs resort running despite financial difficulties. But when Julia walks back into his life, he can’t ignore the feelings she stirs up. As they work together on an important client’s dream wedding, the fate of the resort soon depends on their success. When Zeke and Julia are pushed to their limits both personally and professionally, will their history put up walls between them or bring them together?

My thoughts:

 

I love Victoria Bylin’s books and Someone Like You is definitely not going to break that pattern.  I loved the book.  It’s a fast read that you don’t want to put down.  But that’s okay because it reads so smoothly and easily!

 

I have to say that little Max is such a cute precocious character.  And then that leads me to say that I just want to smack that Hunter around and take him to court for Julia.  It’s a good thing Julia can reconnect with Zeke.  Oh, and don’t forget about Julia’s mom Ellen!  She’s widowed but finds love as well.

 

You know when you start one of these books that everything will be okay in the end and the main characters will be in love, but that doesn’t stop you from reading!  I know some people who’d read the first and the last chapter and think they got it all, but they’d be missing out on so much!

 

You have to read the whole thing or you’ll miss out on the rattlesnakes and lobster and battle of the wills.  Yeap those battle of the wills happen a lot in my house too and I can totally relate!  Go get a copy now!  Or request your local library gets a copy!
