Summary: Are You Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places?
Review: In A Lova ' like No Otha ', Ms. Moore addresses two very real issues in today's society, especially for African-American (AA) women: love and marriage. If anyone follows the trends in marriage, it's my opinion, that no one would argue that the statistics are dismal for AA women, i.e., sisters have the highest rate of singleness out of all races of women. Moreover, more AA women are raising their children alone. As a result, many women believe they have to either "settle" for a man, even if he does not treat her well, or be alone which is the theme behind the novel. The novel centers on Zoe Clark, who on the surface has it all together. She has a strong prayer life, a good job, and at the beginning of the story, we find ourselves witnessing Zoe's "big day", her wedding. After four long years, Zoe is finally marrying Devyn Jackson, the man she has loved since she first set eyes on him. Zoe would classify herself as a very religious person with a strong prayer life; yet, she tends to communicate with God only when she feels turmoil. This fact is even more obvious when tragedy strikes and Zoe begins to realize that she does not truly walk with God. In an effort to overcome this test of faith or "storm", she is forced to do a lot of self-examination and through a series of painful experiences and poor choices; Zoe comes to a realization that forever changes her life and spiritual walk for the better. Fortunately, Zoe has a companion in her journey of self-discovery: Chase Farr. Chase Farr is Zoe's fiancé's best friend. Chase is a true man of God who refuses to allow anyone and anything to interfere or jeopardize his spiritual walk. Chase spends time in the word, he praises God, even when things are not going right, he is constantly seeking God's will in whatever he does. Unbeknownst to Zoe, Chase has loved her since they attended college together and always thought that Zoe deserved better than Devyn. I like the premise of A Lova' Like No Otha': we must first love ourselves before we can in fact love another. Ms. Moore also wants women to realize that we must first get our hearts right with God before everything else. Still, I found the book excessively "preachy" for my taste. Ms. Moore really used this novel to espouse her personal beliefs, which is fine, but she went overboard. In addition, the novel was melodramatic; can you say "Soap Opera" drama? Finally, the plot was predictable and too pact for my taste. However, if you are someone that is going through a trial and you feel that you are all alone in the world and your faith is wavering then you just might find this book an encouragement.

Summary: Love Like No Other
Review: It was okay. I think she is a much better writer for teens. I not sure if this is her first adult fiction title. I've read better stories, but this book was average.

Summary: A Love' Like No Otha' Book Review
Review: Overall this book was simply average. The characters at times were too one dimensional and the author's writing style was utilitarian to say the least. Also, cliches were used often throughout the book and the literary concept of space and time was not intertwined with events in the story well.
Nevertheless, the romantic plot is captivating enough to satisfy any reader for the few hours it takes to read this book.

Summary: This one is very much like otha's...
Review: Reading this one was a challenge---the author's intent is well-received, but she missed it on this one. The story was missing much of what makes a novel in the Christian fiction genre--depth, reality, and inspiration. I felt like I was reading a book written for very young girls, for which Ms. Moore typically writes. Aside from that, the author's attempt to write a great love story took a sad turn toward the romance novel direction and got VERY dramatic. I wish I could say this one was good, but it didn't move my spirit at all. If you want a quick read that will have you scratching your head at the end wondering "what just happened?", then this one is for you. For Christian fiction with more depth and integrity, check out "JOY" by Victoria Christopher Murray, "A Change is Gonna Come" by Jacquelin Thomas, or "Forgiving Hour" by Robin Lee Hatcher.

Summary: A Word of Encouragement
Review: Stephanie Perry Moore created a book that prompted you to feel every emotion under the sun. I cried, laughed and prayed for these characters. I could not believe that I finished this book in 6 hours and reread it the next day. I just could not put it down. I still go back and read a chapter here and there. I needed to remind myself that it was just fiction, but my faith in God reminded me that He is able. As a Single Christian woman, this book encouraged me.

Summary: A Delightful Page Turner!
Review: Stephanie Perry Moore is best known for her young adult Payton Skyy series. Lately, Moore has been writing novels for older readers. Her Christian ficion novel, A Lova' Like No Otha' opens rather dramatically with Zoe Clarke preparing for a day she has waited for all her life --- her wedding day. The day starts out gloomy and continues to spiral downward with Zoe being left at the altar as her fiance runs off with his pregant girlfriend. This heart-shattering experience becomes a "turning point" in Zoe's life as her faith must face trial after trial. In spite of the cruel manner in which her fiance leaves her, God opens the door for her ex-fiance's best friend Chase Farr. Unlike her ex, Chase is a strong God-fearing man heading for the big time in the NFL. Chase has admired Zoe from afar and is ready for this opportunity to show her real love. As Zoe and Chase grow closer together, Zoe's weaker spiritual walk begins to clash with Chase's desire to stay pure until marriage. The conflict endangers the relationship, eventually forcing them to go their separate ways. Zoe learns a valuable lesson as she draws closer to the greatest lova' of them all. This was not an easy book to put down due to the outstanding character development. Stephanie Perry Moore does a great job hooking the reader into Zoe's life from the beginning. Readers will find Zoe's shattered dreams and struggling faith very relatable. At times her turmoil leaps off the pages inducing the reader to shout "Don't do that! or "Girl, put God first!" Another outstanding character in this book is Chase Farr. In most African American fiction, a man like Chase Farr is rarely included. The beauty of this man's faith especially as a successful African American athlete is quite refreshing!
