Erin gave Bittersweet Memories 4 stars!
Bittersweet Memories by author Cecelia Dowdy was my first christian fiction romance novel. I must say, thoroughly enjoyed this book.
As I started reading, I learned about Karen Brown and how her fiance had embezzled money from their church and ran off with his assistant. This left Karen feeling heartbroken, abandoned, and confused. Overall, leading her to return home to her childhood home with her mother in Annapolis, Maryland. After returning home, she comes to realize lots of things have changed.
If you are looking to read something good and wholesome, this is the book for you.
I personally enjoyed getting to know each character, seeing their weaknesses, and following their walks with God through the thick and the thin.

Janet gave Bittersweet Memories 4 stars!
Bittersweet Memories is the first book that I have read by author Cecelia Dowdy. From her writings, I can appreciate the bond of family, friendship and forgiveness. Karen and many of the characters were in a close relationship to the Lord. I liked that the characters prayed and did so on a regular basis.
Karen’s fiancé breaks her heart after she learns that he embezzled money from their church, has a secret affair and runs away with the church assistant. Feelings of abandonment, being over-whelmed by pain and embarrassment, she runs home to her mother in Annapolis, Maryland.
I don’t want to give away all the details of this wonderful read. If you enjoy Christian romance novels, then I suggest you read this one. I enjoyed getting to know Karen and her new friend Keith. I think you will too.

Renee gave Bittersweet Memories 4 stars!
This is a nice sweet love story. Girl’s heart is broken, tries to escape by leaving town, meets new guy (but won’t admit she’s falling for him), obstacles in the way and a resolution of them living happily ever after. Sometimes I just really enjoy a happy story with a happy ending with no big surprises.
