is a romantic Christian novel by Kristin Billerbeck. She wrote it because of her love for the 1940s and for New Orleans.For someone who hates straight up romantic stories, this book wasn't too bad. The plot was one that I have a serious beef with: the woman, Katie, has a steady, strong-foundation-type man who is about to be her fiance. They met in their singles group at church.
Katie also has an ex-boyfriend who is now a millionaire who wants her to fly with him back to New Orleans to sing at his brother's wedding.
It's almost like Sweet Home Alabama
but in this case, the guy from her hometown is also filthy rich.I wish, just once, there'd be a story where the kind, honest boyfriend gets the girl while the wild and crazy ex is left in the dust. (maybe that's what happens here ... don't want to spoil it)
In most cases, the writer will find some flaw for the audience to find making the good boyfriend less "good". Think Sleepless in Seattle.
But enough about the plot used in this book. The character development is terrific; you learn about these people in a timely manner and you will not get bored.
How's that for a glowing review by a person who doesn't typically enjoy "click lit"?
