Finally, a Christian romance novel with realistic characters and some romance. This book has it all - it's funny, it's heartbreaking, and it has romance. No, I do not want to read sexually explicit books, but most Christian romance writers depict the main characters as totally unsexual beings. I truly related to Meghann and Bruce, and the situations we can get ourselves into sometimes, even as Christians. I do not agree with other reviews of this book that criticize it because of the lies. The truth is that Meghann and Bruce are clearly being overwhelmed with guilt for their lies, but see no way out. It also shows the consequences of lying. It also shows that even dedicated Christians struggle with sexual desire, but it can be controlled. Bruce was truly a gentleman who showed passion and desire for Meghann, but he knew his limits and always "fled temptation". Christian writers, please give us some romance in your books. Remember the "Book of Solomon/Song of Songs" in the Bible. Anyway, this is an adorable book and one that I will read again some day. Buy it!!!!
