This is book 3 of the Love in the Spotlight series. I highly recommend you read the other two books as the characters and plots are woven together.

This is the caboose of the story. The wrapping up of all the stories. Here we FINALLY get *grandpa* Chris's story. It's a sweet story. A couple things come out of left field for the characters that make you ache for them. There are great stories of faith--including a fledgling faith for one of the characters.

One thing I really appreciated was that these characters are BOTH in their 40s. We don't get very many novels of middle aged characters much less 40 year old ones. So that was very refreshing!

4 Stars for this book and a overall 4 stars for the whole series!

*Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for an ARC to review. All opinions are 100% my own.

In THE NATURE OF LOVE, TONI SHILOH has done it again - giving us a delightful and bittersweet love story with great characters, clever and often amusing dialogue, a strong Christian message, orphaned chidren and an assortment of animals, in the mix…….
Brilliant orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Erykah Kennedy, at forty one years old is set in her ways and does not make friends easily, but when she meets handsome wildlife conservationist, Christian Gamble, twice in one week, she has an idea her lonely life is about to change. Chris, a committed Christian, is fascinated with this beautiful woman, but is wary of having his heart broken again……
Although this is the third novel in the Love in the Spotlight series, and we come across Chris’ illustrious friends, Tuck and Lamont and their significant others again, the book can easily stand alone.
I cannot recommend this really lovely read strongly enough.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
