About this listen
Lauren Bailey may be a romantic at heart, but after a decade of matchmaking schemes gone wrong, there's only one match she's committed to now - the one that will make her a mother. Lauren is a dedicated first-grade teacher in Idaho, and her love for children has led her to the path of international adoption. To satisfy her adoption agency's requirements, she gladly agreed to remain single for the foreseeable future; however, just as her long wait comes to an end, Lauren is blindsided by a complication she never saw coming: Joshua Avery.
Joshua may be a substitute teacher by day, but Lauren finds his passion for creating educational technology as fascinating as his antics in the classroom. Although she does her best to downplay the undeniable connection between them, his relentless pursuit of her heart puts her commitment to stay unattached to the test and causes her once-firm conviction to waver.

I really liked Joshua’s character, but the adoption story rubbed the wrong way a bit.
I really enjoyed this book. Definitely a beautiful read and the blossoming relationship between Joshua and Lauren was beautiful and clean. For the first time, we dont get rated r content just to prove romance. It was something I’ve been looking for some time now. The only two things I had a gripe with were the adoption and the ending. The idea that Lauren could give a new “American” name to a Chinese child is really just a colonial mindset that I can’t get my head around. I don’t think the difficulties of home sickness were emphasised enough either. And honestly, I just found it infuriating that Lauren was pushing Joshua away constantly - maybe this is my character flaw. I don’t understand it. I also wished that their own relationship was focused on a bit more. The scenes with them were so beautiful written; it’s a shame we couldn’t see more. Either way, I think the story was lovely, and refreshing because it was more God-focused. I think it could do with more of Him in it still
