You're probably not expecting a book review after reading the title, but, if you read on you'll understand why I titled this blog post as I did.
Heart’s Desire is a contemporary Christian romance story that really changed one illusion I had about romantic relationships. I love how the couple’s relationship had realistic struggles and challenges. I read a lot of romance and not many of them are as realistic as this story. I blame other romance novels for giving me the idea that when you start dating, you *magically* have all the time in the world to spend with each other. Maybe some couples do have a lot of time to spend together, but I’m sure there are some that have to make an effort to work around schedules and commitments in order to make time for each other. This novel shattered that illusion by giving a realistic look at what a relationship could look like now a-days. Your responsibilities and commitments do not disappear when you start dating. You have to work around them. These characters did just that, after looking to God and waiting on His timing for them. It was an excellent read and one with many lessons I’ll be carrying with me. Thank you for writing this story, Mrs. Westcott. I have Haleigh’s story tucked away on my “to-be-read” pile, ready and waiting for a rainy day. P.S. Go get this book ASAP! ;)
