You're the One that
I want opens with dramatic flare as Owen Christiansen and Scotty McFlynn
struggle to survive after going overboard during a storm while at Sea on her
father's fishing boat. Drawing us into the story, Ms. Warren sets the stage for
the developing romance between the hero and heroine. She gives us glimpses of
Owen's strained history with his family, his desire to return home but
certainty that he cannot. Scotty has her own issues having been raised as an
only child by her father after losing her mother at a young age. She thrives at
doing a man's job, Captaining a boat and being one of the men and as a police
detective on the side. But, a tragic circumstance on her detective job
involving family members has her denying a need for faith.
Things get even more
complicated when Owen's brother, Caspar shows up to convince him to return home
and then has to be arrested and escorted home by Scotty because of a suspected
murder charge. Waiting on them, is the woman, Caspar loves and the mother of
Owen's child.
This is a great
climax to a family saga. It can stand alone as an enjoyable read but many of
the characters and their part in the story will be much more meaningful if you
have read all the earlier books in the Christiansen series. I highly recommend
the whole series for your keeper shelf. Ms. Warren remains in the top 5 of my
Christian Romance authors.
