Someone to Watch Over Me

A rather straightforward romance novel, with a touch of Christian fiction thrown in. The story follows Jackson, whose mother has just passed away, and who is having a surprisingly hard time coping, and Gwen, who is enjoying her anonymity in his small-town while recovering from a sexual assault. Oh, yes, and Romeo, the rouge of a dog that Jackson's mother leaves him, who has the ability to attract women and flirt even better than his owner. T

The plot, like those of most romance novels, is hardly full of surprises, but, nonetheless, comprises a fairly pleasant journey. The Christian elements are not too overbearing, but weave a subtle thread throughout the text. However, as I picked this up rather randomly in a box of giveaway books, and apparently wasn't paying much attention, I should own up to the fact that I rarely read romance, and never read Christian fiction, so the novel was not to my tastes. However, it was compelling enough that, once I discovered both things to be the case, I was still interested enough to see it through 'til the end. ( )
