This book is what I consider Christian Fiction. When I got this book online, I didn't realize it had religious overtones. Nothing in the blurb in the back will tell you that. If I knew the book had such religious overtones, I would have skipped it. The twenty-three year old heroine has strong Christian beliefs. She comes off as an emotional, naive, goody two shoes. She has a degree in a business field, but she's immature when it comes to corporate matters like restructuring after a takeover. She's abrasive to her new CEO (the hero) when she doesn't need to be. She cried so often in public that I lost track of how many times it happened.
I didn't understand what the hero saw in her given how prickly she was to him. She's unsophisticated, fourteen years younger, and immature compared to him. She constantly argued with him. He gave so much of himself to her, but she kept shoving him away. Supposedly the big conflict between the two was because of her cancer diagnosis hence the title of the book. However, the cancer issue comes at the very end of the book. Ninety-percent of this book is basically the heroine trying to keep the hero at arm's length. It's the old "I got hurt in the past by someone so I can't get close to anyone ever again" routine. I wish her breast cancer ordeal had been dealt with in greater detail. The sections dealing with the cancer diagnosis are rushed while the sections dealing with her reluctance to be with him are completely overdone and repetitive. As an attorney, I was surprised by the lack of medical privacy shown by the heroine's doctors. The author should have researched the federal HIPAA law because there's a section in the book that would definitely have placed the doctors in trouble under HIPAA had that incident happened in real life.
I give this book 2.5 stars out of 5 stars.
There isn't anything steamy or erotic here. It's a wholesome book that can be read by a teen or a grandma. The cover of the book is gorgeous, but doesn't match the description of the heroine given inside. She is supposed to have curly blonde hair and green eyes. There are some noticeable typos (you're for your, etc.) that could have been fixed with better editing.
