The Two of Us {Victoria Bylin}

the two of us victoria bylin
After two broken engagements, nurse practitioner Mia Robinson is done with dating. From now on, she only trusts herself and God, and she's focused on her eighteen-year-old sister, Lucy, and caring for patients. Just as she applies to work for an international aid organization, a phone call from Lucy, who's pregnant and running off to marry her twenty-one-year-old boyfriend, throws a wrench into all of Mia's plans. 

Jake Tanner may have recovered from the physical injuries he sustained on the job as a police officer, but his heart has yet to heal from losing his former partner in the tragedy. He's poured himself into starting a camp for the sons of fallen officers and mentoring Sam, the adult son of his deceased partner, who's asked him to be his best man at his wedding. 

Mia is expecting a mess when she arrives to sort out the situation with Lucy, but she wasn't expecting Jake. And Jake, who can't help envying Sam and Lucy, doubts he'll ever experience their happiness for himself. But maybe Jake's courage and Mia's caring spirit are just what they need to bring them a lifetime of healing and a forever kind of love. . . .

My Thoughts:
I liked Mia. Almost immediately. I liked her determination to do what she felt God was leading her to do and her willingness to give up everything else in her life to follow that calling. I thought Mia could teach many of so many things about listening to God and following his instructions through our lives.

I felt the love that formed between Mia and Jake was beautiful. Both were willing to listen to God and change their lives in order to serve Him, regardless of where it left their relationship.


I thought this was a beautiful story of love, friendship, and following God’s directions in life. A book worth putting on your reading list for sure.
