About the Book:
Six months ago, William stole Hanna’s heart and shattered it in front of millions of people on a reality TV dating show. When all seems lost, it’s only with help from above that Hanna and Will may find their happily-ever-after.
My Thoughts:
The Engagement Plot
by Krista Phillips was a sweet rom-com with Christian themes that didn’t shy
away from the difficult issues of either romance or Christianity. We follow ‘holy’
Hanna, the winner of a romance-based reality television series several months
after the show tore apart her life and destroyed her reputation. Filled with
all the fury of a woman scorned, she’s none too happy when the man whose heart
she supposedly stole- and the man who trampled hers- shows up in her small town
of Embarrass. Will has his own agendas, but can’t deny the attraction he feels
for his ex-fiance and he is perhaps the most complex character. He’s the man
who walked away from God and yet finds himself falling for a woman devoted to
Him… if a little less so than before.
The romance was compelling and as it deepened, the characters
deepened. There were a few parts that might make some people uncomfortable, but
the only part that really got me was when the heroine thought she audibly heard
the voice of God. I don’t know if He still does it or not, but it seems like
rubbing it in to those of us who don’t get to hear it.
Still, the story fulfills its potential- and beautiful
cover- amusingly well. I heartily recommend it to anyone looking for a romantic
comedy after the reality show with some deeper thoughts, a few laughs, and a
lot of swoon. Will she choose revenge or romance? Will he (or Will Will) choose
the gig or the girl? You’ll have to read to find out!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour
Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
