TUESDAY REVIEWS-DAY - BOOK REVIEW – WASN’T EXPECTING THAT by DANA PRATOLA

 

THE BOOK

 


THE BLURB

Black shadows, unexplained hindrances, and freak accidents tell Pastor Maddox Crew there’s more happening at Cross Roads Church than what his eyes can see….

Right now, his eyes are focused on the beautiful Luna Alexander, a vacationer looking for a fun adventure. But is she a distracting temptation to break his vow of celibacy? Or did God send her?

Luna Alexander’s plans have been upturned, first by her sister abandoning her at a haunted BnB, and then by meeting the gorgeous, tattooed Pastor of the local church.

Neither expects that these seemingly unrelated occurrences will so radically alter their lives. 

THE AUTHOR

I'm passionate about Romance. I write about real people with real struggles, temptations, and desires. My characters often have difficult choices to make - and don't always make the right ones. My stories are not what you expect, and everything you want.

God has blessed me with a wonderful husband and three dynamic children, all of whom are destined to make wide, colorful splashes in this world. We share our New Jersey home with two dogs. I have no hobbies to speak of unless you include writing. I don't.

MY REVIEW

Ms. Pratola has a way of tapping into the deep elements of Christian faith while keeping her stories fully in touch with day-to-day life. Revealing the supernatural within the natural, things of the Spirit over the things of the flesh.

Pastor Maddox Crew is down to earth, yet fully on fire for God’s Word. That we see the struggles and temptations he faces give this story depth, bringing the reader right alongside the characters.

Luna Alexander, on the other hand, is a non-believer, but is intrigued by Maddox’s faith and convictions. The interaction between the two is honest and real and raw.

But the greatest impact of this story is spiritual elements at play—they always are, whether we realize or not. Scenes that literally gave me chills.

And then there was that massive twist at the end!

Well done, Ms. Pratola. Another winner of a story!
