Everything is at stake when a Christian recording artist learns he fathered a child during a one-night stand.
It was just one lapse in self-control, one poor decision, one night when he was in a dark place.
Since then, Levi Falconer has done his best to move past that almost-forgotten illicit encounter. No one knows what he did, and he and his brothers are bringing their contemporary Christian music band back together for a long-awaited reunion album. But he’s about to learn that his night of forbidden passion resulted in a little boy.
Highschool dropout Adria Baines got her real education from the school of hard knocks. After aging out of foster care, she’s no stranger to struggles. She planned on making her own way, even after a surprise pregnancy. But when she runs out of options, she realizes she’ll have to do the one thing she swore she’d never do: get help from the father of her child.
Levi and Adria never should have met. But their lives are on a collision course once again as they learn how God can transpose the broken chords of their mistakes into a beautiful melody.
My Review
4 stars
Milla Holt creates relatable characters with real struggles in this second chance clean, Christian romance.
I appreciated the way the author portrayed Levi’s character as a flawed man with real struggles. At times, he handles his failures poorly and other times he rises to the occasion. I really liked that the author shows him slowly dealing with the root cause of what drove him to the one-night stand. He was very relatable.
Adria’s life changes for the better when she reaches out to her baby daddy in a moment of desperation. I loved how the author portrayed Adria as a devoted mother, concerned for her son’s well-being. She deals with her insecurities and must learn to trust Levi after feeling used by him in the past.
The romance unfolds sweetly, and the author did not shy away from dealing with the baggage between Levi and Adria. There were times I rooted for them to finally allow themselves to fall in love and other times when I wanted Levi to stop being an idiot.
My favorite part of the story? The setting in the U.K. It was wonderful reading about a new-to-me setting and experiencing the culture from across the pond. 😊
Fans of Christian romance will enjoy this delightfully sweet and clean story.
Romance: Squeaky clean
Faith: One charact comes to faith in Christ. The other learns to humble himself and admit his mistakes.
