Pages of Promise by Jessica Ashley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


OK…I will admit that I’m a sucker for a good romance. However, before starting this series, I mainly stuck to Irish/Scottish historical romance or paranormal (werewolves, vampires, etc.).
Dang it, Jessica Ashley, I’m invested. I don’t know how or why, but there was an ad on FB for these books, and I was looking for something “light and fluffy” to read. The fact that these are Christian romance novels, no smut, devotion to God…I was sold for the $5 or $10 I paid. Anyway, enough of that…time for the real review!
Eliza is running from a terrible marriage, and has found the small town of Hope Springs, Maine. She buys the lighthouse (OMG…How AWESOME to live in a lighthouse?! I would make the top my library and sit up there and read every day!), and shortly after taking possession, answers a knock at her door to find…NOT the man she expected. Due to her traumatic past, Eliza did a lot of research into the local hardware store owner, Felix, who said he would be installing her new hot water heater. She was not at all prepared for Lance Knight, owner of Knight Security (and part-time, non-practicing plumber) to show up to do the install. She is immediately set on edge, and they don’t necessarily part under shining circumstances.
Fast forward to that night, where she’s sure there is someone in her house. After the police arrive and do a walk-through, finding no one, they suggest she look into picking up a home security system. Imagine Eliza’s reaction the next day when she walks into the office and finds non-practicing plumber Lance.
This book was a roller coaster of action and emotions. What I found most intriguing is that Lance KNEW that God put Eliza there for a reason, that he KNEW he was being called to protect her. But can she protect herself from what she starts to feel from him?
