UNEXPECTED KISS by Regina Tittel

First off, I loved the book's cover and the title and the beginning scene and how all three are tied together. It was a great beginning to an enjoyable story. This had mystery and danger, but mostly alot of tender romance, which makes for a good story. As it is so well said in the beginning of this book, "Regina Tittel's books are written to uplift and encourage each individual while also entertaining them with a great story. The author hopes readers of Unexpected Kiss will better understand God as their heavenly father and accept His offer of forgiveness through His Son, Jesus Christ." After reading this, I knew I was going to like this book, because I knew it would have a good message weaved into it. And I was uplifted and encouraged and entertained, so another good job Regina!!

Carli is a woman who shops at secondhand stores for name-brand clothing to give her confidence. She has a good job and one good friend. She never knew her father and is trying to find him and find some answers. Because she feels her own father didn't love her enough to stay, she has a hard time believing her heavenly Father could love her unconditionally. Then Ethan Durham very unexpectedly enters into her life. She sees him as "arrogant and cocky", but also "completely likeable". Ethan wants to help Carli figure out who is out to do her harm and why. But can she trust a stranger that he won't fail her or leave her? Ethan has his work cut out for him, but he is a determined man, who wants to show Carli what love looks like, and love means you don't leave someone even when they try to push you away.

I really enjoyed getting to know each of these characters and enjoyed watching them fall in love. This is book two in the Ozark Durham Series and so far I have been having a wonderful time reading the first two books in this series. I eagerly await reading book 3, "Coveted Bride". I highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys a wonderful romance, with an uplifting message.
