Back Cover Copy for The Certain Hope

Love at first sight. It’s every girl’s dream.

But Tara Simpkins is finding out it’s not as easy as it seems. Is this truly the man God sent to be her husband, or is she just desperate to escape her loneliness?

The recent loss of both parents has left her reeling, and close friends don’t think she’s in any position to make major life decisions. She and her new-found love are convinced they can live happily ever after in the home of their dreams.

His family thinks he’s moving way too fast and might disappoint the kind-hearted woman he’s fallen head over heels for.

And then there’s Leah. Leah is supposed to be part of his past, but what if she decides she’s his future? Tara’s match made in Heaven may be over before it truly begins.

My Thoughts on The Certain Hope:

I knew I’d like this book because I had previously read Gateway to Hope by this author and I really enjoyed her writing style.  This book did not disappoint.  Her unique style of writing was evident and her very unique plots were amazing.

Wow.  Just wow.  Okay so our two main characters are Tara and Luke (or is he Andy?).  Bit of a laugh there in the first chapter or two when Tara has to learn that she had the wrong name assigned to the man she’s fallen in love with.

This book was so fun to read.  So impractical but also such a great read for this day and age.  

Tara and Luke fall in love.  Love at first sight.  And they tell their friends.  Then Luke finagles a “blind” date with Tara through some mutual acquaintances.  What could go wrong?  Or what could go right?

So, Luke as Tara to marry him. . . in two weeks!  Yikes!  She’s recently lost both her parents to a mystery virus and her whole world is upside down.  She’s only ever been on one other date before in her life.

Will they marry?  In two weeks or two years?  And what about this Leah?  Tara keeps hearing about her from others.

Such a great and fun read.  Not overly Christian though.  That is to say, there are not a lot of scriptures within the book, not a lot of exact Bible references.  There are references to sex and sex within or outside of marriage.  One of our main characters has not remained pure. 

I do recommend the book for mature audiences.  It is not a book I would let my teenage daughter read, but I do enjoy the unique and out there work of this author.  It’s definitely not like anything else I’ve ever read.  I do sense a theme in her writing though.  The leading men are rather sure of themselves and have a way of trying to work all situations to their own advantage. 

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.  I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.  All opinions expressed are my own.  I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.
