Why read it?
1 author picked The Real Thing as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Autumn Macarthur had me at Scotland. I love an opposites attract/deception romance, and the storyline on this one has a fun and unique twist. A low rumble of tension without overplayed drama carries the story to a well-crafted ending. The author knows how to keep sparks flying while keeping the heat level sweet, which is appropriate to the spiritual theme of the book. An engaging story with characters that feel like friends.
From Heidi's list on Christian curvy-girl romantic comedies.
