When Love Arrives By Johnnie Alexander

Back of the book

Dani Prescott came to the children's hospital to spy on Brett Somers--so how did she end up on a date with him? Weeks earlier she'd seen an interview in which he blamed her mother for the plane crash that had killed his parents. But the crash had killed her mother as well, so Dani can't believe the story Brett's trying to sell to the media.

Vowing to find a way to discredit the privileged--and maddeningly handsome--Brett, Dani has been following him and taking photos, hoping to find something she can use against him. But when she catches his eye instead, she quickly finds herself offering up a fake name and agreeing to a date. Brett knows this mystery girl is hiding something--but he's got his own secrets to keep. What will happen when he discovers who she really is? Will Dani and Brett look beyond their own heartaches to discover a love that could heal their deepest pain?

Fresh, flirty, and fast-paced, When Love Arrives is an engaging story that will have readers falling in love with the characters as they navigate the tricky waters between romance and revenge.

My Thoughts

If you are looking for a sweet Hallmark type book this is not the book for you. Johnnie Alexander has no qualms addressing Brett's less than christian values in his past regarding morality, and the many relationships he has.  Dani is well aware of his past and has no desire of becoming one of many.  As Dani and Brett become friends you get the sense of changes Brett has made in his life, and his true desire to become a better person.  When Love Arrives is a unique plot and fresh story line.  This is definitely NOT a stand alone book, so be sure to read Where She Belongs or you will be totally lost.  I would still say this book is a clean novel, but if you are looking for squeaky clean, It might not be for you.

I was given this book free from Revell Publishing for my honest review.
