John's Quest is a Christian romance with very deep, inspirational elements in a complex story. The "hearth and home" values embodied by the characters can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of their personal salvation.

This was an interesting "christian romance." I was in the mood for some easy reading. I thought the storyline of the girl falling in love with the cowboy was wonderful. I enjoyed the action in this storyline. In the future I will seek out other books written by this author.

This book definitely fits the bill for March's challenge, the New to You theme, that Lorie announced via email. In fact it covers all three points: a new Harlequin author who is also new to me (well, yeah!) and a new line. And to top it all off, it was a beautiful portrayal of love ~ romantic and family love ~ as well as faith; strong and lasting faith in a loving God.
In the Steeple Hill Love Inspired line, one of the biggest differences from most mainstream romances is the element of faith throughout the story; day-to-day, living faith that is a real part of the characters. Faith in God, rather than religion, plays a big part in this line. There is no preachiness, no proselytizing, just a story that follows the lives of people for whom God is a real and necessary part of their lives. If you haven't tried a book from this line, this story is a wonderful introduction.
RATING:
Excellence: Excellent ~ 4 stars
Steaminess: Friends (kisses, no sex)
