Genre: Contemporary Christian Romance

Michael Galloway has always believed freedom means living life on his own terms. His career is dedicated to saving the environment and teaching others the importance of taking care of the earth, rivers, and oceans. He’s building a life with no room for complications. Especially in his love life. 

Then tragedy turns April Yancy’s world upside down. 

After her husband’s death, April discovers he’d been hiding devastating secrets, leaving her buried in debt and struggling to protect her children’s future. The last person she expects to come to her rescue is Michael—the man who shattered her heart years ago. 

Michael has few regrets, but hurting April back in grad school still haunts him. When her situation grows desperate, he devises a risky plan to help her rebuild her life…even if it means jeopardizing his carefully guarded independence. 

Accepting Michael’s shocking offer could cost April more than her pride. His resistance to her faith clashes with the convictions she holds dear, and trusting him again feels impossible. Yet as doors keep opening and her prayers keep nudging her toward him, April begins to wonder if God is offering her a second chance at more than survival. 

 An emotional second-chance love story of forgiveness, redemption, and unexpected faith.

Review

Until April by Janet W. Ferguson is the first story I have read written by her. This is part of the Coastal Hearts series, though I enjoyed it as a standalone.  

This story got right to the point and started by ripping my heart out. When tragedy strikes and there is an accident, Michael is the first one on the scene and helps rescue April’s son. Though it was too late for April’s husband, he dies, leaving April a widow caring for her young son. While wading through everything and trying to figure out what to do next, April also discovers that her husband left her with a mountain of debt. Facing losing everything, Michael steps in to help her. Throughout the story, we learn about their past and get to see their hearts.   

This second-chance romance was great with kisses only.

The faith elements and transformation were great. Michael was so against everything about God, but watching him come to Christ was such a great story.  

*I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, which I received from the author. A positive review was not required. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
