Come home to
the Christiansens's, WHERE FAITH AND FAMILY MEET REAL LIFE
After a failed dig in Honduras, aspiring archaeologist Casper Christiansen heads home to Minnesota to face his unresolved feelings for Raina Beaumont, the woman of his dreams. But when he arrives unannounced on her doorstep, he receives the shock of a lifetime: Raina is pregnant with someone else's baby.
Heartbroken, especially when he discovers the identity of the baby's father, Casper tables his dreams and determines to be dependable for once, helping his older brother, Darek, prepare the family resort for its grand reopening. Casper longs to be the hero of at least one family story, but a never-ending Deep Haven winter and costly repairs threaten their efforts – and the future of the resort. Worse, one of Casper's new jobs constantly brings him into contact with Raina, whom he can't seem to forget. A tentative friendship begins to heal fresh wounds, but can they possibly overcome past mistakes and current choices to discover a future together?
Will God lead them on the path together?
Always On My Mind is a sweet romance within a difficult situation. Both Casper and Raina find out that God lets people make mistakes and even face the consequences, but, if we allow it He will use them to make us stronger and bring us closer to Him. |

I will admit that, for me, it was a little hard to connect with Casper sometimes. On the other hand, he reminded me of people I know. I waffled back and forth with Raina, from cheering her on to wanting to shake some sense into her. It just goes to show talented of an author that Susan May Warren is, to not only engage my imagination but also my emotions and thoughts.
I loved the parallel historical thread that ran through Always On My Mind. Susan May Warren seamlessly wove it into the fabric of the story and I never felt like it didn't fit or that it distracted from the rest of the book. It enhanced the story and I really enjoyed discovering the past along with Raina and Casper.
Always On My Mind was an enjoyable contemporary romance and I look forward to reading the next Christiansen sibling's story. Susan May Warren has me hooked on this flawed but loving family of faith.
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives Always On My Mind by Susan May Warren a 4 Bark rating.
