Love Not Required
[d-w13343]

5 of 5 Stars “Love Not Required by Clare Revell is a beautiful, faith-filled Christmas romance about two people who have every reason to keep their hearts guarded—and every reason to finally let God break down their walls. Liam and Lyndsi have both suffered great loss, and that shared grief makes their emotional journey deeply moving and surprisingly relatable. I appreciated how real they felt: they’re imperfect, a little wary, and carrying past hurts, which makes their growth and eventual relationship all the more satisfying. The romance unfolds at a gentle pace with meaningful conversations, believable conflict, and a sweet payoff that left me smiling. The spiritual thread is strong but natural, highlighting themes of grief, trust, surrender, and learning that God’s plans for us are often very different—and far better—than our own. Content-wise, this is a clean read with no profanity and closed-door romance (though there was plenty of chemistry between Liam and Lyndsi), making it a great fit for Christian fiction readers who enjoy contemporary Christmas settings, emotional depth, and a hopeful, heartwarming ending. Five Stars.
