I loved the themes in this book: forgiveness, trust, and true love. This book really shows that God can take our mistakes and bad choices and turn them into something wonderful. But only if we let Him. If we choose not to forgive and keep that bitterness in our heart, then we are keeping God from using turning it around. I loved Ace and Kristy and all the other characters. I’m really looking forward to the next books in this series.

Some of my favorite books are a good romance combined with some kind of life lesson. This was one of those types of books. I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading the next book in this series.

I love history and was expecting more of a historical weave to this book. There wasn't and many places in the book where it could have been added. The story line was good.

Love is a Battlefield by Annalisa Daughety is the first book in the A Walk in the Park series. Kristy O'Neal is returning to her beloved job at Shiloh National Military Park after being stood up at the altar only to discover that her position has been given to someone else: hunky and sweet Ace Kennedy. Stuck with a seasonal job that only lasts until Labor Day and dealing with a vandal who keeps damaging the monuments at the park, she has more than enough to keep her busy! Kristy is the all-American girl: every woman's best friend and every man's dream with a mixture of beauty, brains, and a good dose of humility. Daughety introduces Vickie and Ainsley who I expect will be featured in future books in the series. Walking with Kristy on the path to forgiveness and finding love is a truly enjoyable read.

This won’t be the best review I have ever written, nor will it be very long, but when you love a book as much as I loved Love Is A Battlefield, there is just not that much to say. So, please excuse me while I rave about this book for a moment, but I loved it! I mean I really loved it. This is one of those books that was always a pleasure to pick up and read. There is nothing, not a thing, I would change about it.
The story was a cute one, but there were a few subplots that really fit well into the story and made it much more interesting and kept the story moving at a nice pace. I loved the setting of the story, Shiloh National Military Park in Tennessee. This new A Walk In The Park series is a wonderful concept and I can’t wait to read the next one. The only problem with this book is that it had to end. I really enjoyed the writing and the characters and the story as a whole.
If you are looking for a nice, relaxing book to read, pick up a copy of Love Is A Battlefield. It is a really enjoyable story with a very solid, positive Christian message. I look forward to reading more of Annalisa Daughety’s books; she is truly a talented writer and story teller. This book will always have a special place on my ‘favorites’ shelf.
