My Review
Grief finds love in this touching new novel from one of my favorite authors, Danielle Grandinetti. I have always been a fan of her clean suspense novels, but she is switching things up with a clean contemporary romance in her first Love Inspired Romance novel, A Father for Her Boys.
The chemistry between Nathaniel and Sofia is obvious from their first chance encounter and you see their relationship naturally progress over time as Sofia adjusts to being the guardian of her two young nephews while the three of them grieve an incredible personal loss, and Nathaniel is fighting the pain of losing his first love. Together, Sofia and Nathaniel create a beautiful friendship while also wrestling with their feelings for one another as they navigate the summer together, both bonding by their natural attraction as well as their individual anguish.
The characters won me over in this novel. Danielle always does such an incredible job of creating individuals with such depth and heart that you can’t help but feel connected to them. The overall vibe is one of hope amid the pain and the knowing that it will not always be like this, a powerful message that we all need to be reminded of from time to time.
Being a mom of two boys myself I feel like this made me connect to this story on an even deeper level, as I too went through a time of being a single parent with two young boys and reading this brought me back to that place. During those darker moments I wish I would’ve had an inspirited read like this for me to escape into and I loved this little departure from reality. Though there is grief that is dealt with it comes from a place of promise, giving off hopeful vibes right along with the love that is blossoming, and I am here for all of it.
