Is this book a Christian romance. It felt like one, I didn't like it. It started off okay but then I was bored and ended up struggling to finish it. Not for me I am afraid.

Two people begrudgingly sent to matchmaking week on Joy Island are paired together. What are the odds?

That commonality actually makes the story work well. Ava and Sean have a rough start but as they’re follow the rules and spend time together, they open up and learn to appreciate their differences. Yes, these two live different lives but they complement each other. And both Sean and Ava love Jesus and share their faith with each other.

There are enough awkward situations to keep the lightheartedness of a rom com while some difficult subjects are handled with care. Krista Phillips balances some serious subject matter against humorous exchanges, growing attraction, and the promise of hope that is only found in a relationship with the One who knows every part of us.

William Preston is a very handsome CEO who decides to go on a TV dating show called The Price of Love. He chooses Hanna Knight, a simple, home town, God fearing woman (they start to refer to as Holy Hanna) who is ready to give Will her heart. That is until he humiliated her in front of millions of TV viewers. Then Will shows up in Minnesota, where Hanna lives, to ask for her forgiveness and to see if she would be his fake fiancé. Being his fake fiancé would perhaps stop the gossip about them and help him with his job. Things go pretty well at first. Hanna and Will find they haven’t lost their attraction for each other. You might even call it love. But then things start happening that causes their plan to spin out of control. Now there is even more scandal and Will’s job is on the line. Can Hanna and Will weather the storm of all that is thrown at them or will this separate them forever?

This is my first book by Krista Phillips but it certainly won’t be my last. The cover is what first drew me to want to read the book but I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the story. It was an interesting plot that keeps you entertained from cover to cover. The people are well-drawn and true-to-life. You know…they have issues just like we do. Hanna was someone the reader could easily relate to. She wants to do the right thing but sometimes it doesn’t work out the way you think it’s gonna. I understand that! Will was a very likable guy; a good hero really. (except for the stupid thing he said on the show). Unfortunately, deep hurt caused him to set aside his faith. You can understand why as you read the story. The interaction between them was fun and sometimes a little frustrating but that’s part of the fun. The secondary characters were great and I liked getting to know them. You’ll find a wonderful balance of humous (I laughed out loud) and serious situations which really make it such a pleasure to read. If you enjoy misunderstandings and mayhem with a side of serious then you will love The Engagement Plot!

A few favorite moments:

They’d always been opposite, even from the first day of taping for The Price of Love. He, the CEO bachelor looking for love, and she, the small-town teacher with morals tighter than some of the other contestants’ skinny jeans.

“Hanna, you have to trust me. I’m trying to fix this. So unless you want me to kiss you to quiet you down, I suggest you hush. I’m game either way”

“You gave them the power to wound you instead of seeking the One who had the power to rescue you.”

Hanna Knight, a teacher from a small town in Minnesota, is living with her father after a disastrous experience on a dating reality show much like what most of us today recognize as “The Bachelor.” After the final episode airs, William Preston, the CEO who was the bachelor, responds with an ambiguous answer to a question about a weekend they spent together just before the end of the show – one that suggests the time spent was not so innocent. That one answer put the public view of Hanna’s values in jeopardy and she calls off their engagement.

William comes back into her life to ask for another chance. Sales at his company are slumping and his Board of Directors think that a reconciliation may change that. William turned his back on the church after a family tragedy when he was a teenager. Hanna is still steadfast in her faith. This, for her, is not a winning combination. She is not at all interested in a permanent commitment, but they agree to a fake engagement. But where will things go from there?

Pick up this book to follow their journey. At times I found the reading to be a bit sluggish, but it quickly picks up again. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley.com. My review is completely voluntary.
