I never had the pleasure of reading anything by Kristin Billerbeck before, and wish someone had warned me that I would not be able to put this fun and quirky romance down. Before you sit down to read this novel, create yourself a nice cozy spot complete with a cup (or rather a thermos) of your favorite beverage and a snack or two, along with your favorite afghan to curl up with - all where you won't be disturbed, because once you start reading, you won't want to stop!
"A Billion Reasons Why" is one of those fantastic stories where humor is mixed with a very serious side. True to life - all the characters have a flaw or two - no matter how perfect they seem at first. The main characters, Katie and Luc, are well developed that will sweep you off your feet and have you itching to rent a few of Humphrey Bogart's and Katharine Hepburn's movies by the time you turn the last page.
Everything about this novel worked for me. Not only did it transport me to New Orleans where I could hear that southern drawl and smell crawdads cooking, but it had me practically dancing along with them through the 1940's! If there was ever a "perfect" romance or chick lit, this would have to be it. The only thing that made it even better was the wonderful Christian message that it delivered!
Make sure to add "A Billion Reasons Why" to your must read pile. It comes highly recommended!
