Devon's Choice by Catherine Bennett
4.0

Devon's Choice by Catherine Bennett is a quick read about a young woman at a crossroads in life. Devon is twenty-eight, still lives at home with her ailing father, and trying to start her own business. She's in a dead end relationship when she meets Brandon a charming young man trying to make his family business grow.

I really loved this book! Devon is a fun character that I related to on every level. She's a bit lost at the beginning of the book. Her mother died five years prior, and since then she's lived with her dad, who is not doing to well himself. She's working at a coffee shop by day and by night trying to make a go of her online company. Pride, I think, keeps her from accepting any help from anyone. She wants to succeed on her own.

Brandon isn't much better. When we first meet him, he is working himself to the bone to make his family business grow. He inherited it when his father died unexpectedly, and now he's running it his way. When he meets Devon, he realizes this is the girl he wants to settle down with. Maybe he is ready. I like Brandon! He's honest, kind-hearted, and good to Devon.

The plot of the story is a light romance with some ups and downs. But what makes the plot unique is the author's ability to interweave Christianity and make this clean romance a story of redemption. It's sweet and heartbreaking at moments and I just loved it! It's short, only about 150 pages so it can easily be read in one sitting if you choose to do so. If you enjoy inspirational, clean romance I highly recommend you go grab a copy. You can thank me later ;)

I received an eARC of this book from the author via I Am a Reader in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review
