Book Review: Sweetbriar Cottage by Denise Hunter


Noah decided to take a routine trip into town to check his mail and pick up a few supplies, but a letter from the IRS claiming he is still married railroads his plans. He confronts his ex and begins the process of rectifying the mistake in the paperwork to finalize the divorce that should have been done with a year and a half ago. Josephine was going about her daily business running her hair salon when her “ex-husband” barges in, visibly upset, to inform her of his recent discovery. In an attempt to rectify matters, she runs the new papers up to his ranch a few days later only to discover that she is now trapped with him waiting for a severe winter storm to pass.

A few years ago I read one of Denise Hunter’s romance novels and really enjoyed it, so I figured I’d try another one. I was not disappointed! I feel like her writing has gotten better, and I really enjoy her character development. The story brings up past issues for the characters, who have to learn to trust God in different ways. Josephine has to learn to accept forgiveness, and Noah learns to explore the truth before jumping to rash decisions. It turned out to be a beautiful love story that I read in about two days.

If you enjoy a fairly clean romance with Christian undertones, you will enjoy Sweetbriar Cottage. I would not recommend it for younger teens as there are some adult themes. So parents, you might want to read this before you decide it’s appropriate for your older teens.
