ABOUT THE BOOK

With You I Am
Title: With You I Am
Series: Bryant Family #1
Author: Cleopatra Margot
Publisher: Faith to Love Publishing
Release Date: June 21, 2021
Genre: Contemporary Christian romance 

Event coordinator Noelle Carter's main priority is running the successful company her grandparents founded. After all, they're the ones who raised her, and she's the one they entrusted their company to after their deaths. So when a letter comes across her desk inviting her to plan the Spring Fling in her grandmother's hometown of Balsam Falls, Nebraska, she's faced with a choice: stay and work on maintaining Carter, Inc.'s current success, or go and take a leap of faith--outside of her comfort zone. 

For contractor Wynn Bryant, helping others is the key to life's greatest blessings. Over the past ten years, he and his brother have built homes for those who need them, creating a reputable name for themselves. Between that and helping out at the Serendipity Inn, his parents' bed and breakfast, he's put his other dreams on the back burner for now. Until the mayor ropes him into restoring The Gardens with a beautiful but guarded young CEO from Mississippi. 

Connected by a desire to help others, Wynn and Noelle dive into restoring a neglected piece of Balsam Falls's history while learning from, and of, their own pasts. Together they uncover past secrets, current challenges, and help each other discover healing and forgiveness in ways neither imagined. Will their discoveries lead to love, or are some things better left as they are?

My Review 🖤

When a novel starts out with a family tree, and the series is actually called Bryant Family, it's easy to see what the focus is going to be on: family.  Family is very important to me, and I am one of those readers that becomes vested in my books, making the characters feel like family to me, so from the get-go I loved this vibe of With You I Am.

For me, the novel had a very slow start, and it took me awhile to get into the story, but once I did I was charmed by this heartwarming family.  I truly felt like I was there with them throughout the story.  From the sweet romance, to the giving back to the community, it wasn't hard to fall in love with the Bryant family.

I did feel like the book was a tad too long, but I can also understand with this being the first book in a new series the author wants to spend the time to lay a firm foundation.  I enjoyed the dialogue and banter between the characters, especially Wynn and Noelle.  These two characters are so sweet together, and I love seeing their relationship blossom while getting to know the whole family.

A charming, character-driven story full of faith, family, and heart With You I Am is a wonderful start to a great new series!  It's a slow burn, but if you stick with it you will not be disappointed.  I cannot wait to see what awaits the Bryant family!

My Rating: ★★★
