This book was received as an ARC from Netgalley and Bethany House in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Lieutenant's Bargain was unlike any Christian Fiction Love Story I have ever read and I mean this in the good sense. The story of Hattie who dreams of becoming a famous painter is forced to go into town and find herself a real job or else she gives up on her dream forever later encounters with a soldier who she views as the enemy and he spends most of the story convincing her that he is the good guy in hope to win her heart. What impressed me about this story in particular in that the novel focused on the heroine being the dominant character in the story rather than the hero masculine character falling in love with a woman. Our readers will be fondly attracted to this book because of that it's unlike any story they have read.

We will definitely consider adding this title to our Chistian Fiction collection at our library since we are always on the lookout for more Christian Fiction books. That is why we give this book 5 stars!
