Juliet’s Journey to Love (Great Smoky Mountain Getaways Book 1) by Elsie Davis – Review by Angela Hayes

Juliet’s Journey to Love by Elsie Davis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 Stars

Juliet’s Journey to Love is the first book in the Great Smoky Mountain Getaways series by Elsie Davis. I would classify this as Christian woman’s fiction/Christian romance- with spiritual beliefs, Christian values, drama, challenges, trusting in God’s plan, emotion, love, loss, discovering where you belong, and finding love unexpectedly.
Juliet takes the opportunity to lead a faith group on a hike through the Appalachian mountain trail, in the hopes of getting closer to God and finding direction in her life. But when she falls ill days into the journey her companions need to call for a rescue. It’s when her unexpected rescuer turns up that things get interesting, and Juliet finds that maybe God had a plan for her all along.
This is a faith filled sweet story that should have ticked a lot of boxes for me- but unfortunately Juliet frustrated and annoyed me- and I found it difficult to connect with her- which in turn, made connecting to the story quite difficult too. Also, it felt rushed in places which also didn’t allow me to ‘settle’ into the story or to ‘lose’ myself in the story like I had hoped to. I think if we could have ‘heard’ from Jake more, it would have given the story more balance and depth.

Thank you, Elsie Davis!
