---Booklist
Single mom Julia Dare has a lot on her plate. A brand new Christian, she's 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?

   Here is my review of this amazing novel:
First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank
you” to Victoria Bylin and her publisher for sending me a copy of "Someone Like You"
to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really
appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy
available to me.
From the beautiful cover of the novel to the opening
Scripture from the book of Ezekiel to the heartwarming opening pages of “Someone
Like You” by Victoria Bylin, the reader is captivated. Zeke Monroe’s sensitivity is showcased
front-and-center. It made me wonder
right away why our leading lady, Julia Dare, let him get away and connected
with a jerk instead. Bylin writes in
such a way that I felt Zeke’s frustration right away. As she pens the internal monologue for her
characters, there is a beautifully flowing logic that engages me mind,
too. I haven’t read a book that didn’t
talk at me in quite a while. And there
are beautiful poetic phrases that make me sigh inside (“…she couldn’t bear to
taste the memories.”). Wow!
I love how this book shows the ebbs and flows of life in
general and the Christian life in particular.
It’s a beautiful story that’s beautifully written. “Someone Like You” is a perfect read for your
weekend or vacation. And it will happily
find a place on your “keeper” shelf.
