I love how Moriah Jovan has woven religion into "Magdalene." This is a well-written love story that will make you laugh and cry and hold your breath. Moriah Jovan's strong point is her characterization and this book is no different. Within the first chapter, you feel like you know these people, or would like to know them. You care about them and so you care about their circumstances, their story and how they overcome their conflicts so they can realize love.
Magdalene is made stronger by the weaving of religion and the conflict it creates between these two polar opposite characters. This story isn't about religion, it's about two people, one of whom happens to have strong religious beliefs and principles. You don't have to be Mormon to get this story or to love it, love Mitch and love Cassie, and feel the emotions of the choices they make as they try to find love together.
I loved this book and couldn't put it down. Moriah Jovan gets better with every book she writes and this one is a winner.
