3 Stars | Becky Wade | Christian Romance | 2017 | 384 pages | 2018 Christy Book Award
Nora Bradford runs and owns a historical village in her town. She also loves to help people with genealogical research questions. She meets a former Navy SEAL named John Lawson who needs help finding his biological mother. He was abandoned at birth and has never been able to learn his mother's identity. He has a medical condition in which he needs some answers from his blood relatives. Nora agrees to help and despite the two being so different, romantic feelings start to rise. The information that is uncovered in their research is something neither of them ever imagined and it brings them to a pause to figure out the implications.
This story is a typical romance until towards later in the book where the new information gets really interesting. It almost felt like it was from another book! I think I was missing some depth from Nora. She seems to be happy-go-lucky and you don't really see her deepest feelings underneath her quirky and sunshiny personality. This is a sweet and clean romance with a touch of intrigue which is what probably made it a Christy Award winner. I would have liked a bit more depth, but overall it was a good story. Nora has two sisters who each have a story to tell in this series called The Bradford Sisters.
