Book Review: Christian Romance

Tweet

I was gifted this book through a Random Act of Kindness in the book community on Instagram. What Makes A Home is book 3 of 4 in Jaycee Weaver's Every Day Love series. ~~~~ [/i]Jobie Everett has built a life around teaching art to senior citizens, a boutique job to fund her art, living green(ish), social media, and wild pursuits that inspire her Muse. When her roommate introduces her to a God who personifies Love like she's never known, she begins to see how shallow life has been and decides it's time for a change.[i] [/i]Surely there's more to Caleb March's lackluster life than work and his computer hobbies. Desperate for something different, he buys a run-down house near an old friend and her pretty roommate. Ready for more than "just friends", Caleb will first have to reconnect with a God he's been ignoring for too long.[i] [/i]As Caleb and Jobie bond over renovations, a new development forever changes her and pulls the rug out from under him. Jobie needs a godly man who will support and pursue her. Caleb must break himself free of the friend zone and become the man she needs in order to finally give her heart a home.[i] ~~~~ A refreshing Christian romance with very little intimacy. Upon meeting Caleb and Jobie are immediately attracted to each other. They both have their own reasons for holding back, keeping their feelings to themselves. They become best friends though both want more. Jobie is not a spiritual person but questions about life and love lead her to a relationship with Christ. The focus being love and kindness. Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is not rude or self-serving. There an eye-opening sermon given by a church leader within this story. This was such a refreshing love story that rejuvenated my own spirituality. I gave this 4 out of 5 stars (just because I found it had a slow beginning). I can't wait to read the other 3 books in this series.
