What fan of the passionate, complicated Christiansen family isn't going to be excited that the sixth book of the series is hitting bookshelves? I can't wait to catch up with this amazing family as they conquer a new set of very honest, very believable struggles--and this book does not disappoint.
In "You're the One That I Want," author Susan May Warren re-connects us with Owen Christensen, who has been missing in action since his regrettable fight with brother Casper at sister Eden's wedding. Oh yeah, remember that? While Casper has put his engagement to Owen's former girlfriend Raina (oh yeah, remember that?) on hold to search for his wayward brother, Owen has run from one city to another to flee his constant feelings of guilt and failure. Ending up on a crab boat in the Bering Sea, Owen impulsively jumps overboard to rescue Scotty, the new girl he has his eyes on--and almost dies in the process. When the brothers are reunited in Owen's hospital room, Scotty quickly sees the problems between them and is about to get as far away from them as possible. But a bit of a legal glitch--murder, actually--loops her into the Christiansen fold, and we're off and running through the pages to another gripping story of redemption among very real characters who, like all of us real people, fall short of it.
I grabbed the opportunity for a free copy of this book from Tyndale Publishers in exchange for a fair review.
