Addie Sullivan grew up among the salty shores of the Pacific Ocean. The only child of the lighthouse caretaker and his wife, Addie never questioned her life until one day a stranger arrives at her family's door. Addie's quest to unravel the mystery of her past is the premise of this Christian mystery/romance.

If I wasn't obligated to read the entire book I would have stopped after the first chapter. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Christian fiction, but I would rather have a flawed heroine than one who is the picture of perfection. The best descriptive phrase I could use to describe this book would be "fluffy cheese." Any book that uses the line "I never lived before I knew you" earns a ten on the cheese scale. There are a lot of people who love this style and there's definitely a market for it, but it's not for me. I found myself saying "Give me a break. No one acts like that in real life." (Yes, I know it's fiction, but fiction needs to be believable, and this book was not.) The plot was reasonably interesting, but the characters were shallow and predictable. I found myself not really caring what happened to the protagonist. Needless to say, this is not a book I will read again.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson in exchange for an honest review.
