When Love Collides - a review

[Tracy Krauss]

When Love Collides by Michelle Sutton is another in a long line up of romance novels from this prolific author. Raquel and Scott were best buddies during college, but went their separate ways when Raquel up and married someone else. Ten years later, Scott is a physician’s assistant and when Raquel shows up at the clinic due to some alarming and unexplainable symptoms, their paths cross again. Unknown to Raquel, Scott has been in love with her for all these years, and now that she is single again, they have a chance for a renewed relationship. Unfortunately, other circumstances beyond their control might ruin their budding romance. In some ways, this book reminded me of Nicholas Sparks. It’s a touching story with a realistic ending – you fill in the blanks. What I appreciate about this book, and others by this author, is her ability to write passionate, even sensual, love stories without the smut and that still have a very strong Christian theme. It is definitely ‘edgy’ in terms of typical Christian fiction, but still tasteful.
