Our thoughts...

  

Misunderstood~ Sweethearts~ Role model

I’d like to start off by saying that I loved that every chapter of this book started off with a song or two that was written into the text of the chapter! It was such a wonder contribution to this book and very different.  I really enjoyed that and listened to a lot of these songs while reading. And that cover! LOVE!

I really enjoy this book.  You meet a whole team of characters and you fall for them all, which is great because this series continues with other characters from Hope Over Fear.  The two main characters for this book are Sara and Adam.  Sara has a past relationship that has her talked about around town and she doesn’t defend herself.  Sara’s character is such a sweetheart that lives her life helping others.  She is a woman you want to be, always helping but never a pushover.  Adam is her sexy co-worker who also has a rocky past with his walls built high.  You just really fall for these main characters along with their friends that keep you hooked while reading. 

This book can be read as a standalone but the series continues and I’m hoping to read more about Adam and Sara in the rest.  Although there are some struggles I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a wonderful book that is lighthearted and really enjoyable.  The next book in the series is Wings Over Poppies that follows a friend from Hope Over Fear, Alexandra.  Can’t wait to continue!
