Best Christian Romance Books
Divine Love
Christian romance stories are ones written with the intent of inspiring the reader with how majestic the love of God actually is. They aren’t written just to preach about the Almighty, to convert someone to the faith, or to speak ill of others, but in order to convey the true beauty, power, and greatness that devotion to the good Lord brings.
It is because of this that Christian romances are so successful and bring so much happiness to the reader. It is because of this also that we will now be taking a look at our list of the best Christian romance books.

Tobacco Brides
In Virginia, for the farmers that were part of the colony, whenever they would see an English ship docking, it was manifest that it was carrying the so-called tobacco brides. These tobacco brides were women that were trying to find a life greater and more decent in America than the one back home.
They are called tobacco brides because they were, in essence, traded for by way of exchanging tobacco. Men were thus often interested by his event, but one man, Drew O’Connor, was not touched at all. Drew isn’t looking for a bride or wife, but just trying to get a maid to help around the home and with his sister. Drew had lost the love of his life and was still feeling the pain from it.
Lady Constance Morrow
Nonetheless, Drew finds a woman named Constance Morrow, Lady Constance Morrow. This sassy, strong redhead says that her father is an Earl and that she was taken to America not by her volition.

It’s not an easy process, since they’re quite different, but in this difference, they find something otherworldly to cling to: in spite of it all, love.
