He’d never noticed her…till now.
Nikolos Acton is the lead singer of a Christian Band,
Specific Gravity, struggling to make it in the industry after an unplanned
break, touring the country with their manager, Tia.
Tia Bartel loved Niko for the longest time, but it wasn’t
until she stepped in to save his life that he finally realizes what has been
there all along. Is it too late for him? Could a relationship between them work
after years of ignoring her? How would he ever convince her he’s worthy of her
trust?
As they journey on the freeway of life and love, they
encounter struggles as they are forced to rely on their faith, and friends, to
make it through.
My Review
I’m a big fan of outside-the-box contemporary fiction, and
the Orchard Hill series steps right in to fill a rut of genre-specific romance,
suspense, or mystery. Yes, these are love stories, but tales with a purpose that
don’t need to be formulaic.
This fourth story from Baganz follows her general
true-to-life premise that everyone has issues, everyone is broken and everyone
needs the Lord as Master of his or her life. Then we need each other, and it’s the
dealing with each other part that always gets tricky, even for Christians.
These very faith-oriented stories are all stand-alone, but draw on characters
from the other books. In this book, the person who makes everything work for a
rising contemporary Christian band, Tia, prefers the shadows of anonymity to
worship her hero, the lead singer Niko, from afar. When Niko receives his
wake-up call after Tia’s attack by a crazed not-fan, the spotlight shines on
her—both the ugly and the good sides of what she’s made of. Coming into the
light is a huge risk, yet one she’s willing to take with Niko’s enlightened
promises and support.
Feta and Freeways is this story of what it takes to be
committed to a higher purpose, a network of people who rely on each other
through faith, family, and talent offered to the glory of God. It’s not
perfect, it can be messy and twisted, but through it all there’s some giggles,
a number of surprises and twists, revelations and a set up for the next
adventure. A truly enjoyable read with a peek into life on the road, roots and
wings, and the joy of camaraderie. For those who like faith-based stories of
contemporary life in sometimes not so nice places and realistic
decision-making.
