Description from the publisher:
She's
waiting for her prince to come … but was he right beside her all the
time?
Kristina Rose Maher wants to know why fairytales never happen for fat girls. Certain that diner cook Jeff, handsome and fit, will never want her as more than a friend, she stuffs down her attraction to him. But when she finds herself facing a life-altering weight loss surgery, she discovers she's willing to do whatever it takes to embrace life—and love—to the fullest.
Jeffrey Berkley can't bear the thought of losing the friend he’s only just beginning to realize matters so much to him… no matter what size she is. But he is also terrified that helping her reach for her dreams will also mean finally reaching for his own—and letting down his family’s legacy in the process.
Both Kristina Rose and Jeffrey must learn to love themselves before they can find a way to make a promise to each other. Will they finally be able to lay their heavy burdens at the Lord's feet, and trust him to bring the happily-ever-after they both crave?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LOVE’S PROMISE is the second in the First
Street Church series. Each stands on
their own, but with heavy involvement with the characters from the other
stories. I strongly recommend reading
them all and in the order of release.
So often, the world just seems to be
so hard. These stories are always the
perfect softening balm to my heart. This
may be my favorite of the First Street Church romances that I have read so far,
including those brought into this world from other authors.
The theme of learning to love
yourself before you can truly love someone else is one that many struggle with
in their own lives. It is beautifully
and sensitively brought to life as Kristina Rose goes through gastric bypass
surgery. Jeffrey, God bless him, is
patient and kind. He’s a sweetheart of a
man and I was rooting for him the whole way through!
I am looking forward to returning to
Sweet Grove, TX for another uplifting, warm, and fuzzy relationship.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC,
my opinions are my own and are given freely.
