It Had to Be You

January 1, 2014
Eden Christiansen is standing on the sidelines of her own life, and she doesn't know how she got there. Jace Jacobsen desperately wants out of the spotlight. When they meet, tensions are high as each pulls the other into a world they want but think they don't deserve. Eden dreams of being a real reporter, and Jace longs to be seen as more than just an NHL enforcer, but fear holds both of them back from finding happiness on their own and with each other. Warren (Take a Chance on Me, 2013) once again draws readers into the world of the Christiansen family in this story of self-realization, romance, and trust in God. As Eden and Jace get to know each other, they also face great challenges when the lives of their loved ones are shaken to their foundations. Warren knows and loves her characters, and readers will fast become invested as well. To the very end, Jace and Eden are worth rooting for.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
