My Take on the Book:
Swept Away by Laura V. Hilton and Cindy Loven was a wonderful read! It thoroughly pulled me in with a sweet story that was both humorous and sad. I am amazed how flawlessly the story runs... Two people wrote this?? Really? I don't know how they did it, but it's excellently written. The electricity between Sara Jane and Andrew is inescapable and palpable. No matter how much they try, they can't get around the attraction. It oozes through the pages as well. The precious back story of Andrew and why he is a "mountain man" and hobby broom maker is heartrending and Sara Jane's discomfort with having close relationships and trusting someone is also hard, but God is in the business of healing. Swept Away is a wonderful story of God's faithfulness... no matter what we are going through... and of course, there is the romance-- sweet, pure and a little steamy. Just right!!
