Her Part to Play by Jenny Erlingsson is a delightfully excellent Contemporary Romance. I loved every page of this sweet story. There is so much to like about this story: the highly-engaging plot, the realistic and well-crafted characters, the slow-burn romance, and the deep themes discussed throughout the story. Adanne is an exceptional heroine. She is strong, hard working, and incredibly sacrificial. Family is everything to her; both celebrating and honoring the memory of her beloved deceased parents AND doing everything she can to support her brother, sister-in-law, and very sick seven-year old nephew. I adore Adanne’s devotion to her family. I also love her devotion to God. Everything she does is checked first through her faith and what God would want and expect. I really, really love and appreciate Adanne’s strong, firm faith. She is quite an inspiration. John is a great hero. What I appreciate the most about his character is how authentic he is. He is a man who has made a lot of mistakes in his past, but has cleaned up his act. Erlingsson does a great job illustrating through John how difficult it is to be a new creation in Christ. Temptations still exist. Mistakes are still made. I like how John is honest about who he is, what he has come through, and how hard it is to stay “good” in an industry that thrives off of bad behaviors, lasciviousness, and drama. In addition to loving Adanne and John as characters, I also really love and appreciate the message on the importance of family. I like the idea developed throughout the story that family is there to help with burdens, to be shoulders to lean on no matter what. I LOVED Adanne’s family SO much. They are so full of life and love and joy. They tell everyone how it is, but they are also there with good food and big hugs. We would all be so fortunate to have such wonderful and loving family members in our lives.

Her Part to Play is a lovely debut Contemporary Romance that I highly recommend. If you are a fan of well-written, highly engaging Romances filled with heart and depth, then you do not want to miss out on this story!
