A Bride for Keeps ~ Melissa Jagears

A Bride for Keeps is a pretty good book.  This book was a cute story.  Everett and Julia both seem pretty clueless about the opposite sex.  Seeing their relationship progress was fun.  They were both unique characters that showed Melissa Jagears has really good potential as a writer.

This book was written by Melissa Jagears who is a new author.  I believe her next book will be even better.  As mentioned before, she does show great potential and her characters were good.  However, this book did remind me a lot of Janette Oke's Love Comes Softly.  I had a very hard time not comparing the two.  I believe A Bride for Keeps is a little hard for a debut book because of the comparison.  Janette Oke is a legend in Christian fiction and it would be hard to have everybody comparing the two books.  Though, it is an honor to Janette Oke that Melissa Jagears chose to make her book have a similar basic plot line.

When I do not compare A Bride for Keeps to Love Comes Softly I can see that Melisssa Jagears is a great author.  Her characters are very unique and stories are cute.  This story was very sweet.
