I found A Church Girl's Guide to Courting Danger on Everand. The cover art was vibrant and the synopsis was intriguing - I quickly downloaded the book so that I could listen to it. I went to Storygraph and GoodReads to read reviews, but imagine my surprise to learn that there are actually very few reviews about the book. Now that I've finished the audio version of A Church Girl's Guide to Courting Danger, I'm even more confused...why don't more people know about this book?

The story is cohesive and well-written with dynamic, complex, realistic and relatable characters. There's romance, there's suspense, there's mystery...A Church Girl's Guide to Courting Danger has everything and is quite genre-bending as far as Christian romances go. There are gangs, gang violence, knife fights, undercover agents, escaped convicts, and more lol. 

The FMC, Cassandra, is Haitian American, so there are these wonderful cultural additions from Brittney True that make the story even more interesting. The character development of Harmel Preston, the MMC, is some of the best I've read this year (and A Church Girl's Guide to Courting Danger is my 117th book!). 

I highly recommend A Church Girl's Guide to Courting Danger if you like slow burns and cozy mysteries. I also recommend the book if you're looking for Christian romances, books with Christian themes, and books with zero spice. It is well worth the read and the audio, read by Trei Taylor and Chance Smolders, is great as both narrators really make the story come to life.
