All That It Takes by Nicole Deese

What a fantastic conclusion! Here’s my review:

 

MY REVIEW

It’s taken me a while to be ready to attempt to put into words what I thought of this book. Another book hangover kind of read – in a really good way.

The first book, All That Really Matters, was special right from the start, and Pastor Miles McKenzie’s story in All That it Takes is the PERFECT follow-on. I’m so happy we get to read more about Val’s backstory as she was a supporting character.

Molly McKenzie’s from All That Really Matters also features in All That it Takes. Yay! Miles is, of course, Molly’s sister.  All That it Takes really brings everything to a more than satisfying conclusion.

The struggles Miles and Val face in their lives, and together, are relatable and relevant. Val’s son, Tucker almost steals the show…in a good way! He’s adorable and full of spunk. This book is a page-turner that I just could not put down. Nicole Deese’s books are like that. All of them. They always leave you thinking about the book long after you’ve finished it.

This one is no exception. Highly recommended.

ABOUT THE BOOK

When the ever-cautious Val Locklier moves cross-country with her son for a secure job, everything she’d planned unravels within the first week. After Val reluctantly agrees to rent an apartment from her best friend’s brother, an unexpected chance at an elite filmmaker’s mentorship ignites fresh hope for a dream career. But as Val’s community begins to expand, so do her insecurities, especially those heightened by her growing attraction to a certain friendly landlord.

Pastor Miles McKenzie returns home from a short-term mission trip to discover that not only does he have an intriguing new tenant living upstairs, but he’s also been reassigned to a local ministry on life support. Disillusioned and restless, he distracts himself by throwing his energy into a host of new projects–not the least of which is pursuing Val–without stopping to consider the future.

As Val struggles to stop hiding behind the camera and Miles wrestles with shattered expectations, they’ll find that authentic love and sacrifice must go hand in hand.
