"Morgan, hate never works," His father used to say to him. "It only makes things ten times worse. Whatever you do, love. Do not hate."
~Only One to Love~
By: Kaitlyn Newlon
Gen Taylor loves helping people in need. She and her family do it all the time, part of being a missionary kid. So when a village in Africa has a need, the family of eight doesn't hesitate to head out to help them. Once there, Gen finds out how real the need is. She convinces Doctor West and his son, Morgan, to go with her to retrieve some medicine from a nearby city.
But the plane on which they travel goes down - into the biggest fear of Gen's life.
As Gen and Morgan - the lone survives from the plane crash - struggle to survive on the remote island, will Morgan show Gen that she has nothing to fear from the water? And will Gen help Morgan to see that God has never left, even through all the terrors of his past? That he has never been alone and that there has always been Only One to Love?

This book was riveting. I have never been much into contemporary fiction based around missionaries, but his book had me by the first page. The characters were real and I could so relate to having a large family, coming from a family of eight myself.
When Gen's brother's are grieving, worrying that she is dead, brought tears to my eyes, as did the final chapter in it's entirety. This book was the perfect blend of sweetness, suspense and mystery. The subtle romantic feelings between Gen and Morgan were just enough that it kept me wondering.
I so hope Miss Newlon writes more to this series. It's undoubtedly a keeper!
Five stars all the way! Encore and bravo!
