Loving - Review

Loving is the last book of Karen's "Bailey Flannigan" series

Bailey is making some decisions that will shape her future and trying to plan her wedding.  Her childhood friend Cody is faithfully coaching his team on and off the field.  Brandon is off in Los Angeles being a hollywood star.

Whom will she choose?  Will she spend her life with Brandon Paul in Los Angeles, or will her heart draw her back to Bloomington, Indiana and Cody Coleman, her first love? Bailey has learned much and grown over the years, but the greatest challenges, the richest joys, and the deepest heartaches are still to come. 

I will say that the ending was not what I expected.  It wasn't the way I wanted it to end, but Karen Kinsbury wrote a wonderful ending to a wonderful series of books. From the very first book I have love this family and even prayed as if they were a real family, and in a way they are:). The groom grew on me as Loving evolved. Beautiful picture of how in God's timing all is good. God bless the author and her wonderful family. Hey, now let's hear the other couple's story. Just a thought :).

If you have not read this series you must.  There are 5 different series of books that lead up to this book but they are well worth the read.
