Save the Date by Jenny B. Jones

Since the weather has been at record breaking lows this week it was the perfect time to dive into a book.  I read "Save the Date" by Jenny B. Jones which was provided to me free by Thomas Nelson through the www.booksneeze.com program in exchange for my honest review.  This book has a modern day setting that takes high society and merges it with the hard working middle class and the needy.  Lucy is a hard working young single woman who dedicates her whole being into running her home for needy girls who have aged out of the foster care system.  Alex is a wealthy self centered retired football player who has his eyes on running for Congress and he will do whatever it takes to get there.  Drama ensues when they realize they both need each other to get what they want and they strike up a very unconventional deal.  Their worlds collide and they both learn about themselves as they spend more time in each other's social class. It is a fast paced romantic novel that is an easy read.  It took me a few chapters to get into the story but once I did I flew right through it.  It wasn't a bad read but it definitely wasn't one of those books that consumes you and sticks with you.  It was light and easy like a good beach book.  I did notice several typos throughout the book.  And this might sound strange but the one thing that bothered my eye when I was reading (because I am a speed reader) was that there were no double spaces after a period before the next sentence.  So the sentences basically looked like they all ran together and it was hard to keep a reading pace. Overall, it was a heartfelt story and a decent read. I have a few friends that I think will enjoy reading it as well.
