My Thoughts on Kristen

Such a fun romance.  This is a sweet Christian fiction romance novel.  Kristen is part of a series of books called Apron Strings.  It is book nine.  All of these books are amazing and all of them are going to make you want something sweet and baked!

I love to read.  In fact, I’ve got shelves upon shelves filled with books in my house.  So of course I’m going to love a book about a girl taking over a bookstore!

The characters in this book are so fun.  They seem so real.  They don’t have picture-perfect lives and things are never as they seem but they feel so real and flawed just like us.  I loved that the author took the approach of our relationship with God first before a relationship with a significant other.  

This was a fun read.  I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next in this series.
