Going Up South (Southern Hearts Series, Book 2)

Sixteen months ago, actor Dylan Conner has a one-night stand with the friend of a friend. Imagine his surprise when he returns to the scene and finds the woman with a seven-month old baby boy who looks just like him! Furious at not being told he was a father, he digs in his heels to get his rights as a parent. Cassie Brooks and her teenage son have kept a low profile since her very public divorce. When she offers to mediate between Dylan and the child’s mother, the very last thing she expects is to find herself attracted to the bad-boy movie star. Once the two of them are thrown together during a mission to a third-world country, Dylan proves he’s much more than a spoiled Hollywood celebrity.

There aren’t enough adjectives to describe this beautiful and brilliantly written inspirational romance! The author tackles serious subject matter such as parental responsibility, infidelity, charitable acts in third-world countries, and even the death of a child with the ease and knowledge of someone with experience. And, she pulls it off without making the story sound preachy or holier than thou. Janet Ferguson is a shining star among today’s Christian authors, and “Going Up South” is a stand out inspirational read. Don’t pass up the chance to add this one to your list! Well done!
