This just might be the best romance novel I've ever read. It wasn't at all what I was expected but I highly enjoyed it. I don't think I have ever read a romance novel where there might really be no good possible endings. Where, like real life, no matter what choice you make, someone's heart is going to hurt. And I loved that "Waves of Mercy" by Lynn Austin was about true love and not the mushy gushy stuff you so often find in movies and novels.
The author did a masterful job of taking snippets of history and weaving an incredible story around them. It made for a believable tale. It was also neat how the two main plot lines interconnected. I found myself falling in love with the people on the pages of "Waves of Mercy" and ended up going to bed far too late as a result.
Usually there is something that I feel I should warn readers about - either poor moral lessons or disturbing material but "Waves of Mercy" was free of both. Plus, the author doesn't have any bad writing habits that made me twitch.
Another thing I liked about this book was that it mirrored my own feels when faced with overwhelming trials. You want to trust God but how many times can your heart break before you start screaming at Him? And yet, He knows. He heals. And He woes us back. That is the most romantic story of all.
"Waves of Mercy" gets two enthusiastic thumbs up.
