About the Book
Title: Loving Brock
Author: Joan Deneve
Genre: Contemporary Christian Women’s Fiction & Romance
Release Date: April, 2018
For years, Brock Whitfield served God with joy and contentment at the mission hospital he founded in Angola. When Joy Stockman joined their team as a surgical assistant, he found a woman whose zeal for God and heart for people equaled and in many ways surpassed his own. Before he knew it, his admiration and respect for her blossomed into love. After years of serving alone, Brock began to hope that God was giving him another chance to love and be loved in return. A crisis arose within the family causing Brock to put his personal plans on hold. As he prayed for guidance, Brock’s faith and obedience were put to the ultimate test as God brings the perfect person into his life and then asks him to give her up.

My Review:
Joan Deneve is a new author to me and definitely will more by her. This is a 3rd in the series so will have to read the first two books. Even though the 3rd book and continue series there was enough background of the characters to know them. When I started reading the book I didn’t know what it was about but was pleasantly surprised by the story-line. Brock is in his sixties and a doctor/ missionary in Africa, Joy is also in her sixties. Can they find love again? Loved all the family members especially Ellie and her twins babies. It was long book but it needed to be, after starting reading it I was very interested in it. The characters felt like friends to me. Very inspiring book. I received an complementary copy of the book from Celebrate Lit.
