For Every Love, Book Two: a sweet friends to lovers romance

He’s never been so mesmerized by a girl before...
Arthur is a studious, “all or nothing” kind of guy with his life planned out. Even before he’s old enough to drive a car, he knows he wants a career in computers. Since he sees no need for romance until he’s ready for marriage, Arthur keeps his focus on his education.

Then, a new school year brings a stunning young lady into Arthur’s path, blindsiding his ideas on romance. As a result, his transition from boyhood to manhood includes the pursuit of the woman he wishes to make his wife. But when his pursuit falls through, Arthur must realize when it’s time to give up the shame of a broken dream—and learn what it truly means to hope for more.

Nadine C. Keels: A Romance Writing Journey

A serious light brown skinned young woman, the heroine of Love Unfeigned

A smiling, brown skinned young man in a business suit, the hero of Hope Unashamed

A smiling brown skinned young woman, the heroine of Kiss and 'Telle?

For Every Love collection paperback, with bokeh Christmas lights in the background

Love Unfeigned

I gathered key scenes from twelve emotional dreams I had and wove them together for this love story, with memorable pieces of my own life sprinkled in.

Hope Unashamed

There are times when we wish a supporting character in a previous story had a "Happily Ever After" of their own. So I wrote this sequel to Love Unfeigned.

Kiss and ’Telle?

Two supporting characters from Hope Unashamed nudged me for a few years to write out their own story. So I finally did! And the characters called for a little more comedy this time.

For Every Love: Three Romantic Reads

Love Unfeigned, Hope Unashamed, and Kiss and ’Telle? are sweet romances for all year with special holiday scenes.

Ms. Keels sure does know how to capture a voice. When you finish one of her books, you feel like you're best friends with the characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2017
Arthur was a bookworm, good at school, and had his life all planned out. He had no room or time for romance. However, from the first time he laid eyes on Lorraine, that changed. He suddenly wanted to get to know this girl better. He soon started making time to go out with this girl, to pursue her. However, as the years fly by, and life happens, he realizes his pursuit of this woman he has grown to love is not going to end the way he'd like. Will Arthur learn to love again? Or will he swear off love forever?
In the sequel to Love Unfeigned, this book starts in the middle of the storyline of the last book, but from the perspective of Arthur Simmons. I thought it was such a cool way to go into the book to find out more about the story we read in book 1 from a different perspective. As with the first book, I was captivated by the storyline and characters. I loved the quirks of Arthur's character. Because of his chivalrous ways, I couldn't help but think of King Arthur when he would give his handkerchief to a lady to use, or hold a door open for a lady, etc. 
**I received this book free from the author for review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great storyline!
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2017
Hope Unashamed is book 2 of When it's Time written by Nadine Keels.
I was excited to read the story behind this character, Arthur, as I was able to meet him a little bit in book one of this series. I wasn't sure I really liked him a whole lot in book one, but was happy to get to know him more.
Keels bring us into this story from Arthurs point of view and while we know some of what happened in his life, we didn't know the behind the scenes of his life until this book. I liked reading his pov. Wow oh, wow...he has such high dreams of his perfect life...wife and when they don't fall into place, he has a hard time seeing what is in front of him. It reminded me of a verse, "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:" We don't always understand why things don't go our way, yet when we allow God to have control, what an amazing life we can enjoy!
Keels did a great job at giving us just enough of the intersecting from book one to help us along the way without boring the reader because we already knew some of the details. Nicely done!
I was given a copy of this book. All thoughts and comments are my own.

4.0 out of 5 stars He has a good circle of friends
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2017
Review first posted at Girl Who Reads. A free copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

In this sequel, the studious Arthur that Lorraine had dated is the main character. He has a good circle of friends, all as studious as he, but he has his hopes set on romancing Lorraine and eventually getting married. He also has his future set working for a software development company. However, Lorraine isn't as emotionally involved with him as he is with her, so his hopes seem to be destroyed. It takes him a long time to realize that he can rebuild his life and change his plans.

I do like how Nadine writes teenagers and their real-world problems and relationships. Love develops over time, as opposed to the sudden realizations, which isn't often written about.

The framing of the stories felt awkward, however. We start with a prologue at the "present" and then chapter one starts in the past, and we are then progressing through to the present. The prologue feels almost unnecessary to the flow of the books because of that. The books can be read individually, and are self-contained, but really are best understood as a pair.

3.0 out of 5 stars Amazing but Saddened!
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2017
My heart absolutely broke to have to rate this novel a three, for I feel like no works of Ms. Keels should ever be rated that low; however, I only have one wish for this story and it is for it to not have been revolved around Lorraine. The only way this review will make any since is if the first novel has already been read; therefore, if it has not been read please stop here before any *spoiler alerts* are seen.

"Hope Unashamed" is a tale about the heart-broken Arthur and the love that he had for Lorraine which was never returned. As heart-breaking as it was to read and feel the emotions that was had by this young man, after reading the first novel I couldn't help but to be happy for his misfortune (even though I know that makes me sound bad). Sometimes for God's Will to be done, the road will get bumpy and the path even narrower.

There was a girl always to the side, a girl easily hidden within the shadows, that Arthur never gave the time that she deserved due to his infatuation with Lorraine. Yes, everything works out in the end; however, one cannot help but to wish for a different story-line will happiness and sunshine! Sometimes the brightest sunshine will come after the rain, a quote that we should all remember and apply to our every day lives.

Even though I write these words now, I must express how happy I am that Ms. Keels provides us with life-like stories. Her written words always reflects real life situations followed by honest feelings that everyone goes through, and this is something that a majority of authors cannot say about their works. I highly recommend this piece, for it is the second to the fabulously written first novel! Please, do not let me sadness of the story-line deter you from enjoying this excellent narrative.
