Publisher's Weekly Review
In her latest humorous tale grounded in faith, Phillips (Sandwich, With a Side of Romance) blends romance and reality TV. Hanna Knight returns to her father's farm sulking after a disastrous end to her time on the reality show The Price of Love. On the show, Hanna became known for her faith and standing by her beliefs. But with one careless statement William Preston, the star of the show, destroyed Hanna's honorable reputation and brought about so much bad publicity that his position within his company has been placed in jeopardy. In what appears to be her father, the weather, and God coming together to conspire against Hanna, William comes to Hanna's father's farm to apologize and rectify the situation-and gets snowed in. Hanna and William plot a fake engagement that they hope will turn the public's opinion in their favor. While they are putting on this charade, Hanna struggles with her faith and her feeling of failure, and William continues to wrestle with his anger toward God arising from a childhood tragedy. Hanna and William are bonded by the experience and both, independently, find a new depth to their faith. Phillips uses an unconventional meeting of hearts to tell a magnetic love story.
