My Review:

A Surefire Love is the first book I have read by Emily Conrad. I love the striking colors of the cover. The author narrates this book and she did an incredible job.

I have no idea what to say or how to express my thoughts on this one.

Real. Gritty. Emotional. Strong characters and character growth. Fire. Refining. Strong faith thread throughout the story. Heartache. Betrayal. Secrets. Redemption. ADHD represented.

Can that be a review? Because that's all I got, LOL!

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

Small towns have long memories, and generations of dysfunction burned Blaze’s reputation before her own faults could.

Twenty-six and guardian to her preteen sister, Blaze is determined to give her sister the stability she never had. Her church is a big part of that plan, until a run-in with an uptight youth pastor derails their progress. Blaze goes toe-to-toe with a man who looked down on her back in high school—and volunteers for his team of youth leaders.

A survivor of the wreck that took his high school basketball coach, Anson sacrificed a promising athletic career to pick up Coach Voss’s legacy. Now a youth pastor, his mission to offer students real hope clashes with a leadership board that’s more concerned about numbers.

As his allies turn their backs and Blaze explores the impact of undiagnosed ADHD on the patterns of her life, Blaze and Anson find unexpected support in each other. Perhaps her preconceived ideas about him are as far off base as his are about her and her sister. When scandal ignites around them, will their love prove to be surefire—or crash and burn?

Fans of Nicole Deese and Melissa Tagg will fall in love with this opposites-attract romance about faith, second chances, and sacrificial love.
