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!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Juliet and her friends are on a journey together to spend more time outside and grow closer to the Lord. What they didn’t anticipate was Juliet becoming ill and their travel plans being thwarted! When the grizzly man Jake arrives on his 4-wheeler, it’s obvious very quickly to the group that he’s only concerned with nursing Juliet back to health and nothing else.

Jake is the all-around bachelor grizzly bear. He’s a loner in a cabin in the woods. However, he knows what needs to be done to take care of Juliet. However, he’s severely annoyed by these travel companions and their prayer meetings.

Time comes for the group to get back on to their hike once Juliet heals up, but then Jake falls ill. Good thing Juliet is a nurse and knows what to do. Besides, she owes him for treating her while she was ill! She parts from the group and nurses Jake back to health. Then she learns of a job opening at a local clinic. Can she leave her secure job and family to live out her dreams?

This book is the first I’ve read by this author but I’m already looking into other books by this author and in this series. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it!! It included adventure and romance, plus has a medical slant, which I love!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming and inspirational sweet romance. The novel is set in the Great Smoky Mountains and along the Appalachian Trail, and the authors wonderfully detailed descriptive narrative brings this setting vividly to life, making me feel as though I was actually there alongside Juliet. Juliet is the leader of the Freedom and Faith group, but isn’t sure of God’s plan for her. She jumps at the chance to lead two other women on a journey to hike sections of the Appalachian Trail, hoping that by getting back to nature she will grow closer to God. Unfortunately, Juliet becomes ill whilst days away from their planned exit point, and so her friends call 911. Loner Jake comes to Juliet’s rescue, but she thinks he looks more like a grizzly bear.
However, when she’s ready to leave Jake then becomes ill and needs Juliet to help him. Getting to know Jake better she realises that he’s a man with a heart and a past. When there is a opening at the medical clinic in Hollow Creek Juliet applies, with the thought that it will give her time to help Jake get his life back on track. When Jake finds out the truth, his walls start to tumble down and the pair try to put the past and their own issues aside in order to work out their differences. I liked the main characters, Juliet and Jake and I enjoyed how their relationship developed throughout the story. The storyline flowed well, and this was an enjoyable and engaging read which I definitely recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Juliet’s escape to the Great Smokey Mountains isn’t at all what she planned. She isn’t sure about her plans for her life, so she and two other women go on a hike of the Appalachian Trail. She leads her group through the trail so that they may get closer to nature and grow closer to God, but Juliet becomes ill a few days before the hike is due to end. Her friends must call for help and when said help arrives they aren’t sure what to make of their grizzly bear rescuer Jake. Jake doesn’t want them around. He doesn’t want anyone around. He helps Juliet but then in turn he falls ill. Not at all what was planned in deed! As a nurse, now it’s Juliet’s turn to help grizzly Jake. She is determined to help Jake weather he wants her to or not. She accepts a part time job to be closer to him and pushes him in ways that makes him want to run. When the truth comes out about some of her methods things get a bit murky. Can they get past their pasts and issues? Can they get over some fundamental beliefs and come to an understanding? Juliet has a life back home that waits for her, as she wades through waves of uncertainty and trust issues. Will she come to realize God’s purpose for her life or will her whole trip be a waste of time? Who knew that getting sick would upend her and Jake’s lives completely? Such a great book. Not my typical read, but glad I took a chance on it. Read to find out more about these two. I personally can’t wait to read the others in the set!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a clean romance and can be very inspirational.

Take a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Juliet isn’t sure what God’s plan for her life is, but the opportunity to head the Freedom and Faith small group gives her a sense of purpose and belonging. The group intends to trek parts of the Appalachian Trail in order to become closer to God through a back-to-nature approach. Juliet accompanies two other ladies on a trip, determined to succeed, but when she becomes unwell and they’re days away from their destination, her companions must dial 911. She’s compelled to accept aid from a man who looks more like a grizzly bear than a savior. Jake, the loner, wants them to go.

Except that just as Juliet and her friends are about to leave, Jake succumbs to the sickness, and Juliet must once again save the day. She meets a man with a heart and a history in the process. Her inability to lead the group inspires her to redouble her attempts to be needed, and she’s eager to assist Jake in more ways than one. When she hears about an opening at the medical clinic in Hollow Creek, she applies, knowing it will offer her a reason to stay in town and allow her to assist Jake with his life back. Her tactics aren’t always spotless, but she has the correct intentions. The walls come crumbling down when Jake discovers the truth. Can they sort out their differences by mucking through the past and their own issues?

I loved this story. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is my first book from this author and I can’t wait to read more from this series.

The beginning of the book draws you in right away. This is a great clean romance book for anyone who wants all the feels without the extra R rated things added.

This was a very thought-provoking read for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the anticipation I felt as the story of Juliet and Jake unfolded. While there were some aspects of Juliet’s character that frustrated me, I know it was a necessary part of the story to demonstrate the progress she was making in her own personal growth.

I chose this book, knowing it was not the type of book I would typically read. And I do not have a single regret. It helped me to reflect on how many of us always want to fix things, especially people we care about. We want our loved ones to be happy, so we try to pressure them into doing the things we do, or did, to find our own joy. But not everyones journey to happiness is identical. And not everyone needs to be fixed. I thoroughly enjoyed this delightful story!

I really enjoyed this beautiful romance story. It was really nice reading Juliet’s story. Following her on the journey to find what her heart desires love and the possibility of a family. Throughout this journey Juliet struggles with her faith and her ability to remain confident in God’s plan for her when everything seems so far out of her reach. However god works in mysterious ways and if we keep our faith he will surprise us when we least expect it.

Juliet’s surprise comes in the form of Jake. When Juliet becomes ill Jake helps her out and even though at first they seem to be so incompatable as their feelings grow and progress you know they are the perfect fit for each other.

This is a beautiful clean romance with a lot of reference to religion and keeping faith in God’s plan for you.

A wonderfully sweet read! I loved Jake and Juliet’s story; it had everything a reader could hope for: a small town, likable characters, a faith-rooted, clean romance, and a serendipitous meeting of lovers.

The author developed both characters and story well, building tension throughout the story by slowly adding depth. It was a fast and easy read that kept my attention and had me rooting for Jake and Juliet throughout. I look forward to additional stories in this series and by this author in general.

Juliet’s story was fun to read. I was excited to hear more about her journey leading her group through the mountain trails. I personally think that this alone would be enough of a tear jerker for me to try and accomplish! You meet Juliet and her friends, and a tragic incident leads to a need for help! This romantic story feels realistic to me. I found myself looking at my own relationship, and the differences in my walk with Christ vs my husband’s, and I see that there is hope for love. The author does a fantastic job of teaching the principles of Christian living within the pages of this book. I found myself smiling big at the close of the story. I believe you will love it just as much as I did!

A Four-star read that shows some promise. I liked this story, but Juliet rubbed me up the wrong way at times, she is strong and passionate, but sometimes needs to step back and take a breath. It was odd as I liked her when she showed her simple less abrasive side, than the strong independent one. Jake was a slow burn but as he revealed his true self you get to know him deeper and understand him better, that made it all the better for me. I think if it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t have enjoyed the story as much.

I really enjoyed this sweet book. It really made me want to reevaluate my relationship with God and learn to trust him with any and all of my life decisions. I felt like Juliet was slightly annoying, I felt like she was more pressuring Jake at one point early on in the book, to accept God, but then realized that he had no problem with religion, it was his broken heart holding him back. I appreciate how courageous, independent and willful Juliet was, she left her home, her friends, her job and all she knew to follow God’s calling to stay in this town to help. The ending had me smiling and I was overjoyed with the epilogue. I can’t wait to check out more by this author.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A clean Christian romance that is set in a small town, and it is about loss and love and testing one’s faith. It is bit of an emotional heart felt tale.
Juliet is strong and knows what she wants. She is compassionate and she is helping others to heal in mind, body, and soul and loves what she does.
He is a grumpy grizzly bear of a mountain man but underneath it all he really was just a cuddly bear and meeting Juliet was just what he needed.
What I didn’t like was the way our main character seemed to force religion on others even when they were not wanting it. I believe if you want religion, you will seek it yourself without it being forced on you and that is what I felt this character was doing. You don’t have to believe in God to have faith.
If you love Christian romance stories, then you will probably like this one.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When Juliet sets off on a trip with her friends to hike the Appalachian Trail, she believes that her dream for love and marriage is never going to come true. She is in the process of coming to terms with devoting her love and faith to the church instead, and helping support and guide other people. Lucky for Juliet God does have a plan for her happiness, and she finds it in Hollow’s Creek.

I liked that Juliet is a strong character who knows what she wants and what matters to her. She is principled and protective of both her friends and patients, very capable and intelligent. However, I found her insistence to continue bringing religion into the lives of non-believers to be a bit obnoxious and presumptuous. Juliet assumes that her God should be everyone’s God, and that she should keep trying to convert a person that has clearly told her that he is not interested. Best of intentions or not, I found this character’s toxic lack of respect for boundaries to be frustrating and I struggled to respect her despite her other great qualities.

This is a happy-ending guaranteed love story, so if you want to curl up with a Christian-themed clean romance where the girl gets the boy, you may enjoy this book.

The author delivers a unique love story. Readers are treated to a heroine who yearns for a family of her own, yet is willing to wait on God’s timing. The hero is a man who finds his way back to his own faith, as well as faith in the healing power of love. Characters put the well-being of others ahead of their own wants and desires, which is a pleasant alternative to the typical love story. All in all, this is an enchanting tale that sells itself, and does not require explicit details in order to do so. It is rare to find authors who can create quality storylines without resorting to bedroom details.

This was a remarkable read in every way possible. I could not get enough of it. It was beautiful and I as well enjoyed the journey of self discovery within one self, and a fresh start for one self. It was well put together and one I would gladly read again to enjoy. Wonderful read.

I loved reading the triumphs of Julia. It really showed me how some hope and belief really can go a long way . Even when the going gets tough, if you truly believe the best can truly be yet to come. i felt a lot of emotions reading this surrounding Julia, as well as around other characters. I really felt everything the book was a self discovery for myself to read as well. The book itself was a journey for me. I enjoyed this book very much, and am so glad that I came across it and was able to enjoy reading it.

Wonderful read. It was beautiful and uplifting in every which way. I could not get enough of it. It was a quick read for me. Highly recommend this book and this wonderful author. A must read!

This is such a heart warming story. It’s really a journey through life and all of the difficulties and obstacles that can pop up along the way. Jake and Juliet seem like complete opposites at first, but they are brought together for a reason. Each is what the other needs most, if they can just let go and take a chance at life and love. Jack has been through so much and Juliet had given up on finding love but as they grow closer together, they both begin to change their outlook on life. This is such a good book that once I started reading I just couldn’t put it down. I had to know what was going to happen next and I can’t wait to read more from this author.

This is a romance to add to my Best of 2022. Clean, inspirational and heartwarming, the story is so challenging yet wonderful between Jake and Juliet. They each have a troubling past. The questiion is can they work through it? The chemistry is there but the troubling past can overrun it. Grizzly Jake was there when Juliet got sick with her friends on the Appalachian Trail. The whole story just pulled me in from the beginning to the end. You find yourself wanting to know what is going to happen next. Each character is so relatable. I could see little bits of myself in each. I do love romance stories that include God. This gives it so much more. I would give it more than a 5 if I could.

Escape to the Great Smoky Mountains…

Juliet isn’t sure of God’s plan for her life, but the opportunity to serve as the leader of the Freedom and Faith small group, helps her to feel needed, like she belongs. The group plans to hike sections of the Appalachian Trail, using the back to nature approach to grow closer to God. Determined to succeed, Juliet leads two other women on a hike, but when she falls ill and they’re days away from the exit point of their planned journey, her friends must call911.

When a man shows up looking more like a grizzly bear than a rescuer, she’s forced to accept his help. Loner extraordinaire, Jake wants them gone. Except when Juliet and her friends are ready to leave, it’s Jake who succumbs to the illness, and this time it’s Juliet to the rescue.

In the process, she discovers a man with a heart and a past. Her failure to lead the group

prompts her to renew her efforts to be needed, and she’s determined to help Jake get

through more than his illness. When she learns of an opening at the medical clinic in Hollow

Creek, she applies, knowing it would give her a reason to stick around town and give her

time to help Jake get his life back on track.

Her methods aren’t always squeaky clean, but her heart is in the right place. When Jake

finds out the truth, the walls come tumbling down. Can the two of them muddle through the

past and their own issues to work out their differences?
