Someone Like You Book Review

In Someone Like You, Single mom Julia Dare has a lot on her plate: her son, her failed relationship, her new found relationship with God as well as her own personal business.

About Someone Like You

A brand new Christian, Julia is busy trying to run her own business, spend time with her widowed mother, and raise her young son, Max, despite his father’s less-than-ideal influence on him. When a big account from her event-planning business sends her to the Caliente Springs resort, she’s shocked to come face-to-face with Zeke Monroe, the resort’s general manager and her college sweetheart.

With his faith in tatters, Zeke Monroe is determined to keep the historic Caliente Springs resort running despite financial difficulties. But when Julia walks back into his life, he can’t ignore the feelings she stirs up. As they work together on an important client’s dream wedding, the fate of the resort soon depends on their success. When Zeke and Julia are pushed to their limits both personally and professionally, will their history put up walls between them or bring them together.

My Thoughts

What would the chances be that you meet up years later with the man you loved but ran away from? Even more so that you came out to do business with him! Pretty slim right? But this is what happens in this novel.

Our two main characters were once very much in love but it was faith that pushed Julia away from him and sent him into the arms of a man who did not love her but loved the idea of her. Several years later, they have almost switched in their faith beliefs. Zeke is holding onto pain from his past that is difficult for him to forgive and move on. Julia has found God and puts her faith (and child) first.

Throughout the novel their feelings are ignited but tested many times by not only each other but their faith, others around them and financial uncertainty. You want to be able to guide the two of them together because you can see how wonderful they would be together but at the same time both of them have so much growing to do that you don’t know if they can be together. A fantastic novel about faith, forgiveness and hope, you will love every moment of this novel!
