Come to Me Alive (Leah Atwood) Book Review

2017 Reading Challenge

5. Come to Me Alive by Leah Atwood

Synopsis:
Bryce Landry, country music’s hottest star, has it all, or so everyone on the outside thinks. They can’t see his struggle to discover himself, to find his place in unfamiliar territories, both as a dad and as a Christian. He takes a month off and escapes to the small town of Oden Bridge, Louisiana, where his daughter lives with his grandparents.
Sophie Thatcher has never been a risk taker, but she has no complaints and never thought her life lacked until her boyfriend of three years breaks off their relationship. Only then, does she begin to question what she’s missed by always playing it safe. Meeting Bryce is a call to action. She can let fear rule or trust in faith, which means taking the biggest risk of her life.
As the weeks and months pass, they discover finding each other was easy, but holding on will be a different story.


My Review:
A singer struggling to find his place in the world takes time off to discover who he is and to spend time with his daughter, who he didn't know existed until her mom died about a year before. A teacher who's re-examining her life and doesn't want to fall in love again after experiencing a breakup she didn't see coming. Could a chance encounter at the park change everything?

If you're looking for a quality chick lit and Christian romance book, then this is the book for you. Both Bryce and Sophie are questioning and re-examining their lives after certain situation. Bryce is trying to change his bad reputation after finding out that he has a daughter. Sophie is left wondering if she's always played it safe all her life. They put everything on the line as their relationship starts to build. Since Bryce is a celebrity, the couple faces some challenges. Does Sophie have what it takes to handle being in the public eye? Can Bryce balance his time between his celebrity persona and his personal life/relationship? Bryce realizes that his band mates will always be there for him if he lets them in. Both had supportive friends and/or family members to help them discover that anything is possible if they just believe, if they love each other. It's a love at first sight type of story, but they have to challenge a long distance relationship when he tours. Insecurities are put to the test in this quaint contemporary novel.

Q: Could you date a celebrity?

My answer would be yes. It would take some work, but any relationship takes work. It would just be a little harder because it would be more in the public eye.

Happy Reading and Keep on Writing!
