"A heartwarming read that breaks all the stereotypes and has an uplifting message from above"
Nikki Post was the granddaughter of the wealthy owner of a
large newspaper. She'd grown up a "rich girl" and had
almost made it to the altar with the wrong guy. Now, she
finds herself working as a reporter for the newspaper and
partnered with Christian radio host Colin Wright. From the start, Colin just didn't seem to be the "God-
type." He was rugged and good-looking and looked more
like he belonged on a Harley than in a pew at church.
Known for doing radio stunts to earn money for charities,
Colin takes on his biggest stunt ever. He vows to travel
eight days and three hundred miles by tricycle,
rollerblades and scooter to earn seven hundred thousand
dollars to build a homeless shelter. Once homeless
himself, he can't stress the importance of this mission to
his newfound partner, Nikki. Both Nikki and Colin have some emotional roadblocks to
deal with. Like he has something against rich girls, and
she has a fear that a man will only want her for her money
and influence. As the two travel a long road together,
they discover surprising things about each other and
themselves. And all the while God is present every step
of the way. This reviewer found this sweet tale of two struggling
people to be uplifting and a joy to read. It proves there
is no need for blatant sexual description or language to
be considered a good story or romance novel. And that's
the key to this wonderful piece of writing from Ms.
Steward. She knows how to tell a good story. Just like
the old Carey Grant movies, less proves to be more. I
highly suggest this read to all who just enjoy a good
plot, incredible characters, sensual tension and like to
be entertained. Ms. Steward is certainly a writer you'll
hope to read again and again.
