Contemporary Romance
The Wonder Of You
A Christiansen Family Novel book 5
by Susan May Warren
-From the back cover-
Mortified after her year abroad is cut short, Amelia Christiansen returns to Deep Haven, certain she isn't brave enough to embrace the adventures she's dreamed of. The last thing she expects is for the man who broke her heart to cross the Atlantic and beg forgiveness.
Heir to European hotel dynasty, Roark St. John has trekked from one exotic locale to another, haunted by tragedy and the expectations that accompany his last name. Amelia is the first woman to give him a reason to stop running. He'll do anything for a second chance – even contend with Amelia's old flame, who is intent on ending Roark packing. While one surprise after another leaves Amelia reeling, Roark's continued presence only highlights the questions pursuing her. Like him, is she running from the life God has called her to? Could finding her place mean leaving home behind?
Another wonderful contemporary romance from Susan May Warren!
I have eagerly awaited the release of each successive Christiansen Family Novel and every one has been a delight to read. I've loved following the Christiansen siblings, not only in their own books, but also checking in with them in each new book. They build one onto another but I think they could also easily be read as standalones. All of the books start out with a letter from Ingrid Christiansen to the child that particular story is about. It's a wonderful introduction to the each hero or heroine's character and really sets the stage for the rest of the book. |
This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.

Amelia and Roark were so easy to like and you keep hoping that somehow they will manage to work through their vast differences and find God's best together. You keep rooting for Roark and you feel every disappointment and setback along with him, and Amelia.
The Wonder Of You is a very well written story and the 390 pages go very quickly. It seemed like I was on the first few pages, then the halfway point, and then quite suddenly I was turning the last page. The Wonder Of You is a delightful Christian romance with some real substance to it and a hint of fairytale. Susan May Warren has a real flair for storytelling and it is so very evident in this book.
Tell Tale Book Reviews gives The Wonder Of You by Susan May Warren a 4.5 Bark rating.
