Review
Rating: 6
Do not pick up this book to read if you have not read certain other books by Lawana Blackwell. I picked up this book from the library because I thought that it was a stand alone book. There are two sets of books – two series – that come before this book. Because of that I spent half of this book trying to figure out who everyone was and keep them straight. Even though I have read both of the previous series it was long enough ago that the stories didn’t really come back to me. My recommendation is to pick up the previous series before you would read this book. Don’t make the mistake I did and think this book stands alone.
Once I got everyone figured out I really enjoyed this book. It is not a real sugary romance, more like a weaving together of stories. The main romance was between the brother who loved his wife but she loved someone else. Books that show some of the struggle of marriage and not just the passion before the wedding are great in my opinion. I would like to see more books grappling with the sacrificial love a marriage takes.
