Love in the Balance
(Ladies of Caldwell County Series #2) by Regina Jennings
 |
Wowza! It has been some time since I last reviewed a book! This is entirely my own fault! With mid-terms and life's demands I have had little time to dedicate to my ultimate favorite past time: reading some good Christian romance fiction! I recently received a digital copy of "Love in the Balance" from BethanyHouse through NetGalley and finally had time to finish a book of my own choosing!
It was divine and just a perfect book to get back into the reading bug, and just in time for spring weather too! And without further ado here is my review.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5
This is another first book for me by this author, so I went into this very open minded. Sometimes it can be hard to read a book of a favorite author because you want it to be as great as the previous book or maybe even better. I also want to add that I didn't even realize it was a second book in a series until I started to write this review. So you can read them out of order it seems because I had no issues.
"Love in the Balance" is a story of learning to heal from past mistakes and also how important it is to be open and truthful.
Molly Lovelace is a young woman who dreams of being a society leader in Lockhart, Texas. Yet, she is in love with handsome wrangler Bailey Garner- a man her parents do not approve of because of his financial status. If Bailey could just get a job that could support a family maybe they'd have a better chance.
Bailey Garner, meanwhile, dreams of doing great things for God, but his biggest problem seems to be Molly. He finds ways to excuse their kisses, and when Molly refuses, he vows to make a plan that will make her his. In town, he tries his hand at several different trades, but everywhere he turns he runs into the mysterious stranger Edward Pierrepont.
This Edward Pierrepont proves to be an issue for both Baily and Molly. Because of Edward's financial stability Molly is tempted to marry him to help her family, but what of Bailey? Will Molly find the balance between the love she wants and the love expected of her to accept?
Overall, I found this book very refreshing. I have yet to read a book just like it. I enjoyed seeing how both main characters saw to resolved conflict in their lives with God and also with each other.
I look forward to reading the next one in this series and also curious about the first! Great job Regina!
