Wow!

My rating is 4.5 stars

Though he was only a new believer, Tait lived his faith. I'm not saying he was perfect - he wasn't. Yet he had strong convictions that he worked to live out. Every day. Not only did he take Eden, a complete stranger into his house because she was in need and nobody else would, when Eden planned to abort the baby she discovered she was carrying, he was so convinced it was the wrong thing to do, he agreed to pay all her expenses and then adopt the child when it was born.

Who does that?

Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well, keep warm and well fed," but then does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?"

James 1:15 NIV

Oh, right!

I loved that about Tait. I also was so glad the author didn't make him all out handsome with bulging muscles and ... True to form, she didn't focus on the physical attraction but the beauty of his heart. Ladies, if you want to have reason to swoon over a man, the way they are inside is what you should be looking for! His kindness and determination to do the right thing, even when those around him condemned him made him all the more wonderful in my eyes. And then, the way he adored Eden's baby, Haven, from the moment he chose to adopt her. Wow!

I'm afraid to say much more - so I don't give the story away. I will mention that I was caught completely off guard about halfway through by the twist in the story. I went on for chapters expecting the path to head back where I was expecting it to go. And yet it didn't!

Tempting Tait was not only an enjoyable story, it was also a fascinating look into what could happen when a man chooses to live what he believes - even when it isn't easy. And one that will make you swoon over the sweet kind of love a daddy has for his little girl.
