I was looking for a shorter read on my kindle and this happened to be on the first page and the shortest of the options listed. This was a quick, easy read. It was also your typical Christian romance, with the exception of the ages of the protagonists. In my experience, typical Christian romances place the main characters in their twenties or thirties, and every once in a while you may have a character or two who have slipped into their forties. In this case, the two protagonists were both retirees who had lost their spouses within the last 3-5 years.
62-year-old Maggie lost her husband of 39 years three years ago and she has traveled to New Mexico, where she and Joe took their honeymoon, to get some closure, as well as some good hiking in. 65-year-old retired judge Carson lost his wife to cancer five years ago and since his only daughter isn't speaking to him, he decided to finally take the trip across the country that he and Emily had always talked about taking. Maggie and Carson cross paths when she falls while roller-blading and he helps her up. The owners of the B and B where Maggie is staying encourage the romance, on both sides. Things move rather quickly and eventually Maggie and Carson set out for her daughter's home in Texas for her grandson's birthday in Carson's RV. Maggie's daughter is none too happy about this situation, while everyone else (her older brother included) are happy for Maggie.
Like most Christian romances, this one has a happy ending and all the loose ends are tied up by the end. A year from now I probably won't remember it, but it is a light read, if that is what you're looking for.
Happy Reading!!
