I would give his book 10 stars of I could!! It was brilliantly layered with complex characters, wit and humor and spiritual truths. I cried more than once reading it. I love the new direction Ms. Gray has taken in her writing and I so hope she continues it. This book was phenomenal!

LOVE AND A LITTLE WHITE LIE by TAMMY L. GRAY is a well written romance novel with a great plot and unforgettable characters. It is a story about broken people, redemption, forgiveness and the importance of honesty in relationships. Although the author deals with the harsh reality of broken lives, there is hope and humour in the way she tells their stories. There is a good Christian message and we are reminded of God's promise to bring good out of all things in the lives of those who belong to Him in Romans 8:28.
Twenty-nine year old January Sanders, heart broken and depressed, moves to stay with her aunt Doreen in Georgia. Through her aunt, who is a committed Christian, she gets a temporary job at Grace Community Church, hoping that her extraordinary photographic memory will help her hide the fact that she has been brought up as an agnostic by her mother, and most of the time does not know what anyone in the church leadership is talking about! She finds her colleagues very friendly and feels accepted, although she also feels guilty for not telling them the truth about herself.
Jan, who has had a difficult childhood, has a lot of baggage. The handsome musician, Cameron Lee, has had a loving childhood and seems totally committed to God and the church. Jan, who has promised herself that she will never fall for another man, because in her experience men have not shown themselves trustworthy, falls hard for him. Dillon Kyle has had a loving childhood and church upbringing, but he is angry and hurting and has turned away from the Lord because of his wife's betrayal.
I am not going to say any more excepting that is is a most enjoyable read and one I can highly recommend.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
