Her Alaskan Return: An Uplifting Inspirational Romance (Serenity Peak, 1)

Usually christian romances are listed as such but this was not. Had it been I would not have bought it. But preachiness throughout the story really downgraded it by the author blatantly trying to show us she is a devout Christian. I'd like to remind the author of matthew chapter six verses 5-8.

HER ALASKAN RETURN by Belle Calhoun is the exceptional telling of the second chance romance of Autumn Hines and Judah Campbell that takes place in the beautiful setting of Serenity Peak, Alaska. Once longtime best friends that turned to romance, Autumn ended the relationship sudden, with no explanation to Judah, when she found out that due to a medical issue that she would be unable to have children and left town.
