Genre: Contemporary Christian Romance

Emma Uranova enjoys her office job until her boss disappears with the investors' money. To avoid the media storm and false accusations, Emma flees to Whispering Creek, Tennessee to live on her best friend' s secluded property. When a temporary position opens up in Nashville, Emma leaves small-town anonymity to pad her depleted bank account. With a handsome new boss and a steady income, Emma believes life is looking up... until she discovers she has transported the scandal in her backpack. Where is God when her life is falling apart? 

Wade Donoven is recuperating from a crash that sidelined him from the family electrical business. Worse yet, his prodigal younger brother is getting the glory for Wade' s accomplishments. Desperation, and physical setbacks, have him agreeing to let Emma help him manage the business office. But when trouble follows her to his doorstep, Wade must make some difficult choices. Sending Emma back to Whispering Creek may unknowingly place the woman he's come to love in danger.

My Thoughts:

****

I love finding new-to-me authors that quickly become favorites and that is what Barbara M. Britton has done with Escape to Whispering Creek.

Wade was such a grump throughout most of the book and maybe rightly so.  He had been through a lot.  Emma was just what he needed to get past his woe-is-me attitude and move forward.  Emma had a lot going on but I loved how she would turn to prayer and God for her comfort.

Both Wade and Emma were already Christians which I find rare in novels that I've read.  Usually one or the other is going through a search for something and comes to the realization that they need the LORD.  I enjoyed the shared faith aspect.  They could talk about God and pray for each other which I thought was highly satisfying.

I found this book to be a really fun read!  In my opinion it is mostly a contemporary Christian romance with a sprinkling of suspense and action.  Exactly what I like in a good book!

I hope to revisit Whispering Creek sometime soon ;)

I am very excited and thankful to review this book today!
