After reading the first 2 books in the series, I wasn't sure how you could ever write a happy ending for Max & Jade. This book added a couple of major twists, and still managed a happy ending! "Love Lifted Me" starts with Max in rehab and Jade caring for Max's son, Asa. Jade is completely in love with Asa. When Max returns from rehab, he is put on probation from his family's law firm. An opportunity to coach high school football is presented; a chance for a fresh start in Texas. Max & Jade take the leap and move. It is around this time that Jade discovers the Max may not be Asa's biological father after all. Jade keeps this secret from Max, worried that such news will upset him and his recovery.Life in Texas is not as perfect as it seemed on paper. Something is very wrong with the high-school program. People of Colby are less than welcoming to the new coach's family. Together Jade & Max find a way with Asa, find strength in God's plan, and welcome an unexpected surprise (TWINS!!)This was a good conclusion to the series. I really enjoyed how the characters relationships really grew throughout the series; with each other, their families and with God.Beautiful read. Another wonderful story by Sara Evans. I love that she is continuing with Jade and Max's life and in such a realistic sense. It truly is refreshing. A refreshing story of real life although the ending is somewhat farfetched still and in the fairy tell zone. My only complaint is Jade's attitude towards the move and secrets is annoying. It really gets old: her whiny attitude and her fear that Max can't handle anything on his own.Other than the character attitude, not really anymore complaints :)
What do You think about Love Lifted Me (2012)?
Excellent trilogy. Far beyond many other Christian books in helping the reader grow in Christ.
