This book was a DNF for me. I got to 30% and decided it was not for me. Hopefully it will be a good fit for someone else!

Whitney is overworked truly devoted employee to the resort. One night Theo just happens to stumble into Whitney while she is trying to escape from a disgruntled customer. The next thing Whitney knows is that Theo is working for the resort. This is a sweet faith filled book with no surprises but just a romance.
Not necessarily a Christian book but it does mention praying and leaning on God.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with guidelines
A gripping story that I thoroughly enjoyed. The real life characters were an inspiration in many different ways.
A little bit simplistic for my taste. Everything that can go wrong for Whitney seems to, be that money, family or her health. This seems to be solved by billionaire Theo buying the solution for her. This is a rags to riches story without the emotional connection between the couple and with several prayers offered up when the time seems right for them. The best part of the book is feisty little sister Jada.
This book was everything I wanted! I love romance books. But they usually have too much smut in them. And I was very happy to find a clean romance book. This was so amazing!
I received this as an ARC from Netgalley.
I rather thoroughly enjoyed this… couldn’t put it down… it had all the feels with a HEA
