First off, Jen thinks God (yes with a capital "G") is texting her. So just forget your sensible side that is yelling at you that Jen is very naïve. If you can just go with it, you'll have a great time!
Jen is a naïve and free spirited artist. Gabe is a stoic lawyer. But Jen brings out his lighter side and it's fabulous. The two together are so much fun!
I love his parents and I laughed out loud over the his sister!
This is a light read with fun hijinks!
I can't wait for their next book!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Sweet, clean romance. Jen Flanders is a struggling artist/dog walker in NYC. On a down day while doing yoga she asks God for a sign that she continue to carry on and surprisingly she receives a text from GOD. GOD gives her a lead on a better job and and helps her out once she has it. She naively continues to text with GOD enjoying the contact. Gabreil Oliver Daly is a lawyer who doesn't love his job. His girlfriend of eight years is pushing for him to make partner as she has and according to their plan. But his last big assignment is legal but morally questionable. He has also agreed to mentor a younger sister of a friend and is reaching out to her via text.

The story is cute and when Jen meets Gabe there is strong attraction. Jen is kind and her faith positive attitude is heart warming. I have mixed feelings towards Gabe. His way to make a legal situation right is not legal and could get him disbarred. Also even though everyone agrees his girlfriend is terrible he still should man up to the fact they did have a plan together. And while he is honest when he breaks up with her, I think he owed her more than one conversation especially when she continues to send him gifts. Side characters like his parents come off almost as more interesting than the leads. And strangely Jen twice walks in on a naked people. I suppose it is for laughs but seems odd in an otherwise clean book.

Overall the story is good for a quick read. It is the second in a series and I enjoyed it enough to look for the next story to be published. Thank you NetGalley and Xpresso Book Tours for an ARC book in exchange for an honest review.

A laugh out loud rom com with a heart of gold!

I started with a snicker. Just one. Then a giggle. And before I knew it, it was a full on belly laugh. The things Jen got herself into, the conversations with GOD, it was just one thing after another, without being too much.
I loved the characters. They jumped off the page, alive with full personalities, good hearts, and in some cases, with excellent advice.
Parts of this were absolutely heartwarming.
This was exactly what I needed.

A great read!
Jen is struggling to make it as an artist in New York, and when she most needs it she gets a text from GOD. She doesn't realise it is actually Gabriel as contact mistakenly added to her phone by someone else.
Along the way she meets Byrne who she really connects with and is then surprised to find is the same person she has been texting. They are opposites and he has not only just come out of a long term relationship but changed his career too, so do they have a chance together?

Looking forward to the next book in this series!
