A Review of That Certain Spark by Cathy Marie Hake

Cathy Marie Hake has been one of my favorite authors and I held her books up to a high standard. I was so disappointed in this book. I had to make myself finish it. The story was so bland and the interactions between Karl and Taylor were boring. They spent more time arguing and most of the plot involved conversations between characters. There was no spark between Taylor and Karl. None at all. Their love story seemed very forced and contrived. I also thought the story between Enoch and Mercy was very hard to believe. He wanted to marry her right after he met her and she felt the exact same. I wanted to roll my eyes it was just so unrealistic. The book was boring and the relationships between the characters seemed forced. I didn't like this book at all and I would not recommend it. It is a shame because I have enjoyed all of Hake's other novels that I have read.
