Before I Called You Mine by Nicole Deese {Book Review}

Title
: Before I Called You Mine
Author: Nicole Deese
Age: Adult
Genres: Contemporary Romance, Christian Fiction
Publication Date: March 31, 2020
Publisher: Bethany House Publishers
Source: Paperback
Synopsis:
Lauren Bailey may be a romantic at heart, but after a decade of matchmaking schemes gone wrong, there's only one match she's committed to now--the one that will make her a mother. Lauren is a dedicated first grade teacher in Idaho, and her love for children has led her to the path of international adoption. To satisfy her adoption agency's requirements, she gladly agreed to remain single for the foreseeable future; however, just as her long wait comes to an end, Lauren is blindsided by a complication she never saw coming: Joshua Avery. 
Joshua may be a substitute teacher by day, but Lauren finds his passion for creating educational technology as fascinating as his antics in the classroom. Though she does her best to downplay the undeniable connection between them, his relentless pursuit of her heart puts her commitment to stay unattached to the test and causes her once-firm conviction to waver. 
With an impossible decision looming, Lauren might very well find herself choosing between the two deepest desires of her heart . . . even if saying yes to one means letting go of the other.
My Rating:
Received a copy for review from the publisher.

This was such a heartwarming romance! I adore Nicole's writing and how it pulled me into the story. The characters were so well written, Lauren and Joshua were just too adorable! I also enjoyed the added talk and experience of international adoption. It was an eye-opener to read about. I cried tears of joy and happiness for Lauren and how her romance played out. Sometimes the unexpected things are the best things to happen in our lives. Definitely will be reading more of Nicole Deese!

Blessings,
