Author T.K. Chapin
First, I want to thank TK Chapin for providing me with this
book so I may bring you this review.
A Reason to Believe A Reason to Love Series: Book Two by
T.K. Chapin has Best Selling status screaming all over it!! I am a huge fan of
T.K. Chapin’s work for a few years now. I have read many of his books. Each book
he writes his writing, his storytelling, the emotions he draws from the
characters, the messages he tries to portray to his readers, and his overall
love of faith and God gets-better-and-better. Reason to Believe is the best novel
in my genuine opinion that he has ever written.
I do want to warn readers of events In the book that may
trigger some. Infidelity on a spouse for 5 years and being confronted by the
girlfriend, alcoholism and substance abuse to numb the pain of an injury, being
kept from your daughter until you get clean and sober. There is also talk about
ending your life and wanting to die when the character hit rock bottom.
The beginning of this book blew me out of the water big
time. If you have ever read for T.K. you know this was far from his style of writing
the first few pages. I literally was saying to myself oh no he didn’t just go
there. How would you like it if your husband’s girlfriend Lisa of 5 years came
over and introduced herself?! Yup, that
happens in this book! Oh that is just the beginning too! I felt like I was watching something on Lifetime
Channel unfold. BTW huge fan of those movies too! But WOW this begging of the
book sure hooked me. I know for a fact it will hook other readers too.
This book will really make you sit down and really think
about your life as a whole. As a reader I could identify with the chronic pain
issue that Olivia was dealing with. I could understand the emotions she was
going through and the acupuncture she tried. Never did I go down the poor road
she did fortunately. But, I could empathize with her that it is lonely and you
want to shut out the world when you are in this pain. I am glad that she had
Tyler in her life to help her out.
Side note- If you are in chronic pain from whatever the
reason is just know -you are NOT alone There are doctors who can help you. You don’t
need to turn to alcohol or drugs.
Speaking of Tyler he literally was a gift from God in more
ways than one! He saved Olivia’s life in more ways than one too. Out of all the
couples that TK has matched made these two were my favorite. He saw someone
special In her. He knew she was not perfect even though she was against the
idea of God. However, he wasn’t really looking for perfection. Just someone perfect
for him. That someone was Olivia. Even though she was broken he never gave up hope.
He truly had a huge heart of gold! Tyler would be someone I would be proud to
date.
There are so many stories within the main story of this
book.
Overall, I absolutely loved this book! I was so happy to see
Serenah and Charlie back again from Diamond Lake. I loved the fact that it was
a longer book and the beginning and near the end was really strong. There was a
lot of action and great scenes. However, I felt myself wondering at the end
will they or wont they finally get together? Then I questioned why did the book
end like this? Will the next book pick up where it left off with this couple?
