Holly T4 Stars Out Of 5August 8, 2009Holly TThis review was written for The Convenient Groom: Nantucket Love Story Series #2.You absolutely have to hand it to Denise Hunter...she spells Romance with a capital R...and she does not shy away from controversy. The controversy in this series will be the total elimination of any Christian "anchor" story line. This makes Christian readers uncomfortable. Where is the church? Where is the name Jesus? OK, there is a Bible verse in the front of the book, but....the Savior is present allegorically, but not obviously. Although the characters are not church attending Christians, they present challenges to measure our own priorities compared to God's priorities in our everyday lives:1. Does Jesus invite us into a relationship with himself when others have failed us: Yes. Does the hero in this book: Yes2. What are our priorities all too often: What other people think. What does Jesus value: the Truth3. Does Jesus allow us to suffer the consequences of our bad decisions: Yes. Does the hero here? No he helps the heroine perpetuate the ruse.I disagree with Mrs Hunters' allegory only in this point. Although it was noble of the hero to offer his love to the heroine on the rebound, it was ignoble to lie to keep up appearances. See point #2. However, she rounds out the story on a final positive note:4. Does Jesus love us anyway, despite our bad decisions? YES Does our hero? Yes. This was a sweet story with an interesting storyline. Denise's humor and romance keep the pages turning, making this a good "beach read" despite the imperfect allegory.

Glenda FowlowAge: 35-444 Stars Out Of 5May 1, 2008Glenda FowlowAge: 35-44This review was written for The Convenient Groom: Nantucket Love Story Series #2.This is what I like about Christian Fiction: it takes the regular, everyday life of a woman who is basically concerned about her life, her career, her reputation and turns her life focus to all about God and His love. Lucas saves Kate's wedding day and career by marrying her when her regular groom stands her up. But this sets in motion a series of secrets that cannot be kept for long and soon Kate's life, career, and reputation are in shatters. Finally, Kate and Lucas honestly face their feelings and Lucas once again saves the day. It's a sweet, modern day tale with a gentle reminder that we are loved by God - first and always.
