A Christian coastal beach town romance with suspense, LOVE YOU ALWAYS is book 6 in USA Todaybestselling author Jan Thompson’s Savannah Sweethearts series of sweet, clean, wholesome, and inspirational multiethnic contemporary Christian.
My point of view:
I am a big fan of Jan Thompson’s books, especially the Savannah Sweethearts collection! I was thrilled to be able to read Love You Always, book 6 in the series. Not only does this story have the great background of Savannah, GA and the history of previous characters, but it is also a suspense theme! Add in the past love gone wrong and three adorable children, and you pretty much have me sold, lol!
Iris Delaney, aka: Auntie Ibis, is forced to return to her home town after being gone for eleven years. When sweet young Peggy calls her aunt to help because her baby brother has run out diapers and mom is no where to be found, Iris immediately quits her job in Jacksonville Florida and comes to Savannah to find her sister and care for her nieces and nephew.
She never imagined the man she walked away from eleven years ago would be one of the first people there to help find her sister and end up taking care of her and the children. Camden tried hard not to be the person “assigned” to assist in the search for Bianca Delaney, given his past history with her sister, Iris, but as we all know, God has His own plans.
Little Peggy is pivotal to the entire story, and absolutely precious as any five year old can be! I found myself literately laughing out loud at some of her comments, phrases, and unexpected interruptions! I have not had the pleasure of a little one around me in a long while, but she certainly conjured up some memories of the times when my adult child was that age.
Jan Thompson’s writing is wonderful, she takes us trough the past of these two main characters without a hitch in the plot and you never feel as if you are experiencing flashbacks. The levels of suspense and mystery flow perfectly, very edgy at times, but always brings God front and center to every situation. The Bible verses quoted were extremely pertinent and had me diving into my own Bible with my journal by my side to jot them down.
If you adore a great romance novel you will enjoy this story. If you like mystery and suspense, you will enjoy this story. If you appreciate a story centered on God first, you will enjoy this story!
About Jan Thompson
I like stories where people are overcomers. There is something about the resiliency of the human spirit.
Totally agree with you, Sonnetta. I am amazed at what people can over come with God’s help!
I love what I’ve read from Jan Thompson. Although I must admit I haven’t read any of this series. This book sounds fabulous! I can’t wait to get my hands on it now. But, knowing how I am I’m going to need to start at the beginning of the series because I’ll just end up wanting to read them anyways. Sounds like a great book to get lost in for a while.
I know how you feel, Erica, but in all honesty, I have read this series completely out of order and still completely enjoyed every single book on it’s own!!❤️
Thank you, Paula Marie! Yes, the Savannah Sweethearts series can be read in any order, depending on where you drop in! 🙂
