Keeva is a feisty， arrogant young lady in PA。 When tragedy strikes， she decides she will go to Holiday， OR to stay with her brother and his wife for a bit。 John is the pastor in town。 He loves his small community。 When Keeva shows up， he remembers meeting her the year before at her brother's wedding。 He was quite taken with her， but she is young。 （She just turned 18。） She is also too fiery and bold to be a pastor's wife。 They are just too "different" to court。As they fight their attraction for e Keeva is a feisty， arrogant young lady in PA。 When tragedy strikes， she decides she will go to Holiday， OR to stay with her brother and his wife for a bit。 John is the pastor in town。 He loves his small community。 When Keeva shows up， he remembers meeting her the year before at her brother's wedding。 He was quite taken with her， but she is young。 （She just turned 18。） She is also too fiery and bold to be a pastor's wife。 They are just too "different" to court。As they fight their attraction for each other， their friends remind them that God chooses their spouse。 Maybe it isn't impossible for them to court。Great small town characters and friends。 。。。more

Another story I have loved。 These shorter stories just leave you wanting more！！ （in a good way）。Keeva and John are a rather unlikely pair， they seem so mismatched and not what each other are looking for， but they are just so drawn to each other。I have enjoyed seeing more of the daily life of the other people living in Holiday， their weekly routines and how they all interact with each other。I am looking forward to the next installment in this series。

Even though tragedy had made her loose her sparkle and zest for life， Keeva matured and grew into the person God had intended her to be and right where she was meant to be， where she found the love the awaited for her， even if John resisted her at first。 Though they were different， him-quiet and reserved and her more vibrant and enthusiastic， on a deeper level they shared the same dreams and faith， a great foundation for any marriage。 I loved how they both realized they were meant for each other Even though tragedy had made her loose her sparkle and zest for life， Keeva matured and grew into the person God had intended her to be and right where she was meant to be， where she found the love the awaited for her， even if John resisted her at first。 Though they were different， him-quiet and reserved and her more vibrant and enthusiastic， on a deeper level they shared the same dreams and faith， a great foundation for any marriage。 I loved how they both realized they were meant for each other and that together， through faith， they could tackle anything that came there way。 。。。more

What a wonderful addition to this series。 The second book is just as good as the first。 The main characters are great， totally opposite each other， but at the same time， perfect for each other。 So good to see characters from prior series and see where they are in life。 So much fun to catch up in their lives while seeing a new romance blooming。 So looking forward to the third and last book in this series。

Keeva is is a spirited young lady， not a lady meant to be a pastors wife。 By the time John realizes their differences don't matter， he might be too late。 Keeva is is a spirited young lady， not a lady meant to be a pastors wife。 By the time John realizes their differences don't matter， he might be too late。 。。。more

Great storyI loved John and Keeva’s story。 It shows us that even if we've made a mistake when we're young and immature， there is hope and a wonderful life that can come as you mature。 When Keeva first met John， she was under 18 and immature， when they meet again， Keeva has gone through a traumatic event and she's had to grow up。 She and John have a chemistry that can't be denied。 I love how God shows them who they are supposed to walk through life with。 Great storyI loved John and Keeva’s story。 It shows us that even if we've made a mistake when we're young and immature， there is hope and a wonderful life that can come as you mature。 When Keeva first met John， she was under 18 and immature， when they meet again， Keeva has gone through a traumatic event and she's had to grow up。 She and John have a chemistry that can't be denied。 I love how God shows them who they are supposed to walk through life with。 。。。more

Keeva was a 17-yr-old prideful young lady who was instrumental in the accidental death of a young man。 Though most everyone in town blamed her for his death， no one blamed her more than herself。 This event drastically changes her outlook on life， and she develops a determination to be a better person。 Because of her despair， her parents send her to Holiday， OR to visit her brother who is the town doctor。 John is the pastor of the only church in the town and has already decided exactly what he wa Keeva was a 17-yr-old prideful young lady who was instrumental in the accidental death of a young man。 Though most everyone in town blamed her for his death， no one blamed her more than herself。 This event drastically changes her outlook on life， and she develops a determination to be a better person。 Because of her despair， her parents send her to Holiday， OR to visit her brother who is the town doctor。 John is the pastor of the only church in the town and has already decided exactly what he wants in a wife – and Keeva does not fit that description。 That is fine with Keeva because she has decided that she will never marry。 Will the Lord change both their minds？Quote: “I’ve already learned life is hard for everyone from time to time。 You just have to walk in faith to make it through。”I received a copy of this book from the author。 My review is entirely voluntary and unbiased。 。。。more

Keeva is young and suffers from a devastating loss so in order to get away from people holding her responsible for the loss she gets the gift of travel from her parents for her 18th birthday！ John is the pastor and is looking for a wife to settle in with him and help with his work - Keeva is too young， vibrant and outgoing and even though he has very strong feelings he fights them until the end！ This is a wonderful series！！ I read a beta version and freely leave my opinion。

Keeva needs to leave home and staying with her brother seems the right choice。 When John discovers that Keeva returned to Holiday he’s not very happy， not that he doesn’t like her， no the opposite。 But she is not what he’s looking for in a wife and helpmate。 Will he change his mind and find happiness？ Again a fun story in this series。

I was taken aback with an audible gasp right off the bat。 With that， I was quickly ensconced into the story。 Pastor John and Keeva stole my heart。 Many moments of laughter just made it that more enjoyable。 Shanna Hatfield makes all her books so real that I can’t help being drawn in。

Keeva is obsessed with herself and it has led to disaster。 She decides to go to her brother’s home to fashion a new life and change her ways。 She runs into a pastor she had met a year ago and experiences the pull of attraction。 They run circles around each other denying any feelings。 It nearly tears each one apart。 They need to learn to rely on God to quiet them。 Will they obey or fight it to the limit？ You need to read this weary enticing love story。
