Love Everlasting (Brides of Seattle #3) by Tracie Peterson
Abrianna Cunningham has always viewed her longtime friend, Wade Ackerman, as
a protective brother. Lately, however, she's begun to see him differently and finds
herself attracted romantically to him. But she's confused and overwhelmed by these
unfamiliar feelings.
Wade, on the other hand, has loved Abrianna for some time and has been waiting for her to realize they are more than just friends. When he asks her to marry him, she asks for time to adjust to their changed relationship.
And then there's Priam Welby, who has been relentlessly pursuing Abrianna. Will his underhanded tactics succeed in luring Abrianna into marriage with him?

Leona's review:
This is not my first read by Tracie Peterson but the first for the Brides
of Seattle series. It is a stand alone read and I may go back and read the
others.
It really took the second half of the book for me to have a real
interest and I had written in my notes "this is a personal struggle book" when I
was somewhat into the book. Things did change and became more interesting with
murder, jail, false accusations and a man who wanted to marry Abrianna by any
means.
I liked the characters of Abrianna and Wade and the aunts were a wonderful
addition. As I write this, I think a cat would have also been an addition.
Abrianna is headstrong but Wade seems to flow with any problems added to what
is happening. He keeps his head when their are problems and prays a lot. The
aunts are also strong characters with their opinions and accomplishments. I
could almost see them sitting together and talking. Jay, the father of Abrianna
has come back into her life. Friends are also an important part of the
book.
This is a Christian book without pushing. I like that God is in the hearts
of the characters and spoken of often.
Abrianna helps the poor with food and housing; this seems to be her
calling. Wade has taken the job of becoming the substitute minister at the
church and fully understands her.
I loved the personal talk between Wade and Abrianna. This made them seen so real and in love.
I received a complimentary copy of Love Everlasting by Tracie Peterson from
Bethany House Publishers. The opinions are my own.
I give this book a 5 star rating.
