Destination: Romance is an enjoyable collection of five love stories, spanning both miles and years. Due to the limitations of space, romance happens pretty quickly in these novellas, but there is plenty of detail to pull you into each story.The only one of the five authors I was familiar with was Kim Vogel Sawyer. As always, her story was a delight to read. Even though she had a much shorter format to work in than her usual full-length novel and her setting was considerably different from her usual, she still wrote about characters in a way that you could share the feelings and passion that make up their story.
The other authors did a good job as well, sharing engaging stories in a variety of settings and time periods. I was particularly happy to be introduced to the excellent writing of Kim's daughter in the final novella in the collection.
Thanks to Kim for providing an advance copy of this book. I was happy to share my own thoughts in this review.
About the Book:
From a cave in the hills of Missouri to a sandy beach in Grand Cayman, romance blooms for five heroines when they least expect it.
Bare Feet and Warm Sand

Sufficient Grace
BY Constance Shilling Stevens

Better Together Than Apart
BY Rose Allen McCauley
On a K-Love cruise to Jamaica, Natalie re-connects with Ken, a boy she met six years earlier on a high school summer mission trip. Attraction stirs, but opposing goals threaten their romance. Will they listen to God’s leading for their best place of service?
A Shelter in a Weary Land

A cave in the Missouri hillside was to be a shelter from pillaging Union soldiers for Charlotte and her unborn babe. But will she be safe when a wounded enemy seeks the same place of refuge?
Cotton Candy Sky
BY Kristian Libel
When a Kansas girl falls in love with the ocean, she thinks nothing could be more exhilarating than life on a beach...except maybe falling for a traveling photographer who introduces her to more adventure than she’d ever imagined. But is their connection one that can last, or will their time together simply remain a fond memory as they go their separate ways?
