A book with take home value

When I joined ACFW in 2007 Kaye Dacus was one of the first writers to greet me on the forum. She gives good writing advice so I was eager to read her first published novel. I ordered it because I know her. As soon as I opened the book I knew I was in for a treat because the writing style really drew me into the story. Once started the book is very hard to put down. Well it's a given that this is a romance. Will she or will she not get the man of her dreams. But what makes a story special to me is the other events surrounding the main romance thread. In this case, Anne's close family ties. Her need to forgive some of the people who make up that close family. This is truly a story of repentance and redemption and I highly recommend it. Kaye has joined my database of authors on my TO READ list. Please let me know what you think of this story

AWESOME READ!

Stand In Groom, Kaye Dacus' recent release, is an excellent book. I highly recommend it after you'd had a stressful day and want to get away. One thing that really stands out in my mind about the book is that Kaye's heroine is a beautiful, full-figured, size 18 woman. Kaye shows us that size 18 is as beautiful as size 4. The hero, who works out several times a week and is in good shape falls for this shapely woman. This book also speaks to us of what God can do to heal relationships and past hurts. I won't go into detail other than to say that the heroine was hurt badly years ago and has never been able to forgive and let it go. God works everything out in HIS timing. Kaye does an excellent job of showing how God comes through and answers prayers. Our hero and heroine face many obstacles, but healing and a happy end is found for all. This was one of those books that I just could not put down. Kaye did an excellent job of portraying her characters so well that we come to know them as friends and can't wait to see what happens next. So, make a bee line for your Christian bookstore and pick it up. You won't be disappointed! ---Kimberly Byrd

Wonderful Read!!!

This book was an absolutely wonderful read. Ms. Dacus' writing style is fresh and colorful, and her characters come to life in the pages. I stayed up past midnight to read it, I could not put it down! The romance between the hero and heroine was sweet, and it had powerful lessons on bitterness, trust, and forgiveness. I highly recommend it.

Excellent

This Christian romance is a well-written, thoroughly enjoyable read. The pacing was excellent and kept me wanting to know what came next. I liked how the two main characters truly strove to live out their high ideals in less than ideal circumstances. While neither main character was perfect, they were very clearly perfect for each other. The first part of the book was the typical "they'd get together if they just talked out their misunderstandings," but the reason they couldn't clear up the misunderstanding was a very good one. The second part of the book was devoted to after the misunderstanding was cleared up. The two of them get to know and start to trust each other while learning to forgive those who hurt them in past relationships. Overall, the story was very satisfying. Both main characters are Christians and their faith plays a much more vital role in their lives than is typical in many Christian romance books. This is a book that should please Christian romance devotes, but probably wouldn't interest many non-Christians. Genre Reviews[...]
