 About the book:
Hawaii was the last place Grace Christiansen ever imagined she'd vacation, much less fall in love. But when her family surprises her with a cooking retreat in paradise, she is pulled-or maybe yanked-away from her predictable, safe life and thrown headfirst into the adventure of a lifetime.
Max Sharpe may make his living on the ice as a pro hockey player, but he feels most at home in the kitchen. Which is why he lives for the three-week culinary vacation he takes each year in Hawaii. Upon being paired with Grace for a cooking competition, Max finds himself drawn to her passion, confidence, and perseverance. But just when Grace dares to dream of a future beyond her hometown, Max pulls away.
Wrestling with personal demons, Max fights against opening his heart to a love he knows he should never hope for. And as his secrets unfold, Grace is torn between the safe path in front of her and what her heart truly desires. If love means sacrificing her ideal happily ever after, Grace's faith will face its toughest test yet.
Grace is a complex character. Quiet. Scared. But yet willing to step out into the limelight and fight for what she wants at times. Other times she retreats like a mouse into a hole. Max, I totally understood where he came from. I'd be the same in his shoes, I think. But at times he made him act like an insensitive jerk. Casper, oh he was a dear. Raina made a mistake that costs her... and Owen... his story will be powerful when he comes to the end of himself and finds God. I totally love Susan May Warren's books. This one struggled a bit at the first, but once the story got started and over the initial start-up issues, it gripped me and held my attention until the end. Don't miss WHEN I FALL IN LOVE or any of the other books in this series.
