With This Ring (Windswept Bay, #6) by Debra Clopton

Young Kevin asks God and Santa for a new Daddy for Christmas. His Mother Jessica has been a widow for several years feels she is not ready for love. But Kevin is determined, he invites Police Chief Levi for show and tell in the hopes of getting that new Daddy.

Kevin is very likable, I could not help but fall in love with the young boy. Jessica is likable too, I related with her and could understand why she wanted to hold off on love. Levi is the answer to Kevin's prayers and Jessica's as well, she just doesn't realize it yet. Life in Windswept Bay can be everything a person is looking for, and more.

The story moves at a fast pace with well developed characters. The dialog is engaging, with attention to detail bringing you into their lives. I was drawn in from the beginning, and wanted to see Kevin and Jessica truly happy. Overall I found With This Ring an enjoyable sweet romance and feel other will enjoy it as well. ( )

REVIEW: Loved this book. Six-year old Kevin captures your heart as he hunts for a new father.
DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: After her small son, Kevin, asked both God and Santa for a new daddy for Christmas, and then didn’t find him under the tree, school teacher, Jessica Lyons is starting the new year out with a very unhappy six year old on her hands. Kevin can’t understand that she’s only been a widow for 2 years and she can’t imagine marrying again—not yet at least. But, unknown to her Kevin has a plan and has decided that if God and Santa won’t give him what he wants then maybe the police can!

When the very handsome Chief of Police, Levi Sinclair shows up as Kevin’s Show-and-Tell he believes, as does Jessica, that her son has asked him there to show him off as the "police chief"—it’s a little awkward when Kevin introduces Levi as his next daddy!

Things are getting a bit complicated on the shores of Windswept Bay! Come join the fun in With This Ring book 6 of this captivating series. You’ve watched the four Sinclair sisters fall in love now it’s time to watch the five Sinclair brothers find the women of their dreams. ( )

I love reading books by this author. They are always clean, nice and wonderful stories that tug on your emotions. Her characters are well developed and come to life. They are relatable and I love how she writes them with struggles that readers can relate to. This book is not only about finding love but having faith.

Jessica and her son Kevin have gone through a tragic loss. Losing her husband in a terrible accident was devasting and she decides she needs a fresh start. I loved revisiting Windswept Bay again. The town is quaint and full of delightful characters. Jessica takes a teaching job at her son's new school. She hopes the move will help Kevin adjust to the loss of his dad. Jessica is a sweet person who wants the best for her child. She is still trying to get past Christmas when Kevin asked Santa and God for a new daddy. The faith of a child is special and the author really showed how important Kevin's faith was to him.

Levi is the chief of police and through an unexpected invite, finds himself at Kevin's school for show and tell. I remember when I was younger kids would bring their favorite toy to share. Levi is doing a great job of interacting with the children until someone shouts out something that has him scrambling for words. What was said that have Jessica and Levi denying rumors? This makes for a fun adventure as Levi seems to get deeper in trouble with women in the town. He has become the number one bachelor in town and the single women are flooding him with homemade food to win his attention. This makes for some fun moments in the story .

Jessica seems to be running into Levi everywhere and he starts to grow close to her and Kevin. The author does a great job of showing how Levi doesn't push or pressure Jessica. It must be hard to have feelings for someone and know their heart isn't ready. Will Jessica learn to trust Levi? Can he win her heart? Will Kevin get a new daddy? Make sure you grab a copy of this book about loss, faith and learning to trust .

I received a copy of this book from the author . The review is my own opinion . ( )
