DANIELLE’S REVIEW

Rebuilding Joy by Regina Rudd Merrick is a small town Christian romance. Darcy is a single mom determined to go it alone. Del Reno is the contractor helping refurbish the apartment above Darcy’s cafe.

This is the second book in the RenoVations series. I haven’t read the first book, so it did feel like I was missing some backstory. Perhaps that is why it felt awkward when concerted effort is made to point out that, though Del’s dad recently married Darcy’s mom, Del and Darcy are not brother and sister.

My favorite part is when Del is babysitting Darcy’s kiddos. It is especially sweet. The ending is suspenseful and I love that secret tunnels are involved. I wish there were more time spent on them, but perhaps if I had read the first book, I would have a different perspective.

All in all, Rebuilding Joy is an entertaining read and I hope you’ll enjoy it!
