The Pursuit

I suppose I could have spaced these books out but I do enjoy these light Christian romances, even when the writing and the preaching seem a bit corny. Either way, I decided to finish the English Garden series and read The Pursuit, by Lori Wick.

In this book, we meet Edward Steele again, as he is preparing to leave Africa and head home to England. On the way, he meets two gentlemen who are traveling with him and when he promises to help them, he gets pulled in for more than he bargained for. Of course, this is a love story so we will eventually meet Niki Bettencourt.

This is a typical romance novel, with the Christian preaching and "conversion stories" thrown in, but the book is still enjoyable. Perhaps, the enjoyablity is in its very predictability - you know what is going to happen before you open the book and you can sink into the light story and just enjoy the idea of love being as easy as the stories always make it. Either way, I enjoyed this story for what it was and will probably continue reading Wick's work when I need something light and fluffy.
