Love Finds You in Golden, New Mexico

This book is about Madeline Mercer who grew up in a wealthy loving home. When her father dies, a man is trying to force her to marry him. She also has a friend who is not doing well and is pregnant.

An old man named Philip wants to get married, so he writes an ad in the paper in hopes of finding the right woman. He truly believes God will help him choose. His friend, a rancher named Jeremiah helps him write the ad. Jeremiah doesn't know what God has to do with anything. He thinks the whole thing is a bad idea.

When situations occur that cause Madeline to show up in Golden, New Mexico, Jeremiah is suspicious of her and thinks she is out to steal his friend's fortune.

I liked this book's openness about God and the importance of forgiveness and not passing judgement on someone without truly getting to know them. A lot of the Love Finds You books have only slight mention of God or prayer, but this one had it throughout it. I thought it was well written, though I think it was far too predictable. I knew what was going to happen from the beginning of the story, so there were not many surprises. Also the problems in the book were always easily situated and solved. Therefore I am not rating it higher, though I did enjoy it!
