Book Reviews of Arms of Love
Book Review: A Conflict of Cultures
Summary: 5 Stars
ARMS OF LOVE is geared towards the young Catholic adult crowd. I'm no longer so young but still very Catholic, and found this novel to be light, enjoyable, easy reading. It is also inspirational and holds up a high standard for any young Catholic adult (or their parents) in today's "anything goes" culture. The novel begins with a handsome but worldly young man, Brandon Vaughn, being attracted to a young lady, Joanie Collins, at their workplace in Saskatoon, Canada. The fact that Joanie is on the opposite end of the bell-shaped morality curve doesn't discourage Brandon at all. In fact, he sees his hoped-for conquest of her as a worthy challenge to his reputation as a womanizer.
The conflict of cultures plays out in Brandon's pursuit of Joanie and her determination to guard her soul--even in spite of the attraction she feels for him. Joanie's family jealousy protects her virtue while Brandon's friends fight to keep him in their hedonistic circle. ARMS OF LOVE is a fast-moving page turner that draws the reader on to find out which side wins--and how it happens. The characters are well-developed and believable. It's sprinkled with liberal doses of humor to relieve the tension at exactly the right times. I highly recommend ARMS OF LOVE and can't wait to read the sequel.
