Gateway Crescent
by Brenda Margriet
Blurb
Jo Bendixon loves to sing, enjoys working in a coffee shop, and is secretly teaching herself to code. If only she could find a way to combine her varied interests into a career her sisters would approve.
Luke Donwell’s Catholic faith is the bedrock of his life. For as long as he can remember, he’s contemplated a vocation to the priesthood. Now it’s time to make a final decision about taking his vows.
When Jo and Luke end up working together, neither of them is prepared for the heat blossoming between them. Luke begins to doubt his calling, but Jo encourages him to continue seeking the truth. Her heart will break when he leaves her, but how can a girl compete with God?
My Review
This author is a real find, her books are easy to read and pull you into the world of the characters quickly.
This story is Jo's, another of the Bendixon sisters, and the bad timing of her and Luke noticing each other. It is bad timing because his booked in for a weekend away preparing to be a priest!
I liked Jo, she's the sister that never finishes anything according to her sisters, but she is a talented lady and as a characther is warm and endearing. Luke, conflicted Luke I did like Luke, his gracious and caring, but he did make me angry sometimes. I know he is a religious but he was a little critical of Jo's lapsed faith at times, and his mum well, that's where he got it from.
I loved how the author had this story running along the same timeline of book 1, it was fun seeing glimpses into Maddie and Marcus skirting around each other!
This is a warm romance and is a satisfying read, full of real-life struggles and a conflicted heart!
