Book Review: Song of Solomon by Kendra Norman-Bellamy


Commonly known as May-December relationships, age gaps between couples is a highly discussed topic. In Song of Solomon, we find out if that’s truly the issue of why Shaylynn Ford and Neil Taylor seem to struggle when it comes to embracing one another.

Song of Solomon delivers a message of love that goes beyond just the natural, but delves into the spiritual connection of soul mates. Love is not just a superficial thing and as these characters learn from their past hurts, they finally face their emotions head-on. What becomes of two people who clearly have an attraction to one another, but an invisible wall of fear keeps them living in the past?

Song of Solomon is very well written by a seasoned and loved author.

From the author’s website:
At age forty-five, Dr. Neil Taylor is single (again) and living a seemingly satisfied existence as a deacon of his church and the director of Kingdom Builder's Academy. But despite outward appearances, Neil harbors secret pains that have caused him to build a well-constructed wall of defense around his heart, and to silence a ministry with which God gifted him as a child.

Everything begins to change, however, when Shaylynn Ford, a bold and beautiful, yet blanched and broken young mother, strolls through the doors of his office at Kingdom Builder's Academy. The affect that Shaylynn has on Neil not only makes him yearn for another chance at true love, but her injured spirit somehow begins to bring melody back to Neil's soul for the first time in ages.

Shaylynn's definitely worth fighting for, but so many obstacles stand between them that Neil wonders if he's up for the challenge. His anointed voice has been accredited with healing sick bodies and saving lost souls, but can it perform a miracle the size of the one he'll need to win Shaylynn's affections? She is his God-appointed soul mate. Neil is certain of it. But how can he compete when her heart already belongs to another? And even with all the songs in the world, how can Neil remain righteous while trying to win over a woman who's already wearing a wedding ring?
