Bethany House Review- A Heart Most Certain by Melissa Jagears

Well, today's the day. That glorious day when you dig through your bookish treasures and decide which ones will join you on your waterside vacay. YAY for ten day vacations! Speaking of bookish treasures...wanna see one of my choices?

*Summary*

But then...true love's kiss was a wonderous thing.

Desperate to impress the politician courting her, Lydia King has joined the Teaville Moral Society, and her first task is to obtain a donation from Nicholas Lowe. But Nicholas, favoring private charity, flat-out refuses--until Lydia''s tenacity leads him to agree to a bargain. As complications arise, Lydia must decide where her beliefs--and heart--truly align.

    *My Thoughts*

As avid romance readers, a lot of us can attest to the fact that it is *fairly* easy to find a good swoon-worthy book to cuddle up with. And most of us could find a non-fiction book to talk some sense into us. But those precious gems that mix swoon-worthy romance & "Kick in the gut" Christian truths...those are the ones that are few and far between. Guess what? Melissa NAILS it. 

Every. Single. Bit of it. 

I started this book with the hope that it would at least be as good as books I had previously read by Melissa. I NEVER thought it would blow them out of the water, but oh-my-goodness does it! 

I am in love with the hero...tough guys are always my favorite, but tough-vulnerable guys...swoon. And Lydia's (my great-grandmothers name! *smile*) tenacity had my grinning from ear to ear with every flip of the page. Their "relationship" was adorable and I felt happiness, pain, sorrow...whatever they felt.

However, that wasn't the clincher. What did it for me? That "kick in the gut" truth I was talking about. Wow. Melissa, in one single book, challenged everything I had once unconsciously thought about people, life, other people's opinions...everything.

Melissa chose a subject that many people find to be a hard pill to swallow, and turned it into something beautifully different.

This book isn't just a great romance...it's life changing.
