Review: A Surefire Love by Emily Conrad

About the Book
Small towns have long memories, and generations of dysfunction burned Blaze’s reputation before her own faults could.

Twenty-six and guardian to her preteen sister, Blaze is determined to give her sister the stability she never had. Her church is a big part of that plan, until a run-in with an uptight youth pastor derails their progress. Blaze goes toe-to-toe with a man who looked down on her back in high school—and volunteers for his team of youth leaders.

A survivor of the wreck that took his high school basketball coach, Anson sacrificed a promising athletic career to pick up Coach Voss’s legacy. Now a youth pastor, his mission to offer students real hope clashes with a leadership board that’s more concerned about numbers.

As his allies turn their backs and Blaze explores the impact of undiagnosed ADHD on the patterns of her life, Blaze and Anson find unexpected support in each other. Perhaps her preconceived ideas about him are as far off base as his are about her and her sister. When scandal ignites around them, will their love prove to be surefire—or crash and burn?

Fans of Nicole Deese and Melissa Tagg will fall in love with this opposites-attract romance about faith, second chances, and sacrificial love.

MY THOUGHTS

I loved this book so much! I didn’t want it to end. It made me laugh and had me teary-eyed. It touched on so many emotions. I liked the fact that it addressed important and hard topics with grace. And I absolutely loved the strong message of faith.

I loved how real and authentic these characters were. I liked Blaze right off the bat. She was relatable and had an endearing quality to her. I loved her tenacity and resilience. I didn’t know what to think of Anson at first, but I enjoyed getting to know him, and I ended up really liking him. I loved how passionate he was about his faith and sharing the gospel.

I can’t recommend this book highly enough. If you’re a fan of contemporary Christian romance, you’re going to love it!

I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
