Average rating3
Dani Prescott came to the children's hospital to spy on Brett Somers--so how did she end up on a date with him? Weeks earlier she'd seen an interview in which he blamed her mother for the plane crash that had killed his parents. But the crash had killed her mother as well, so Dani can't believe the story Brett's trying to sell to the media. Vowing to find a way to discredit the privileged--and maddeningly handsome--Brett, Dani has been following him and taking photos, hoping to find something she can use against him. But when she catches his eye instead, she quickly finds herself offering up a fake name and agreeing to a date. Brett knows this mystery girl is hiding something--but he's got his own secrets to keep. What will happen when he discovers who she really is? Will Dani and Brett look beyond their own heartaches to discover a love that could heal their deepest pain?

I was a bit conflicted as to what to rate this one, because, though I really identified with Brett's struggle to change his life (doing it under his own power instead of God's, at first, was quite painful to watch!) from spoiled playboy to decent citizen. As far as personal preference goes, it got a little too detailed in parts—not something I object to morally; it's tastefully done—but I simply don't enjoy spending a lot of time in vapid, drunken company, and a number of scenes in the book show what Brett's life once was. He also struggles to control feelings of fleshly attraction. On the plus side, I really liked that it mentioned that he was miserable because he was going against God's plan for him, that he was never going to be fully happy/peaceful until he surrendered his own wants to be important and ahead in life and learned to focus on the things that really mattered.
