Amanda's husband hides a secret and one that could destroy the foundation of her life.Amanda's marriage was a marriage of convenience.  Hoping to secure the money to help her ailing grandmother, Amanda knew she had made a grievous error when the man to whom she was married, had a hidden life that provided their means of support.  But Amanda will soon find herself attracted to Jackson Galloway-a man who hides a secret or two.Then Came Love is a simple storyline that is fast paced but misses the mark when it comes to details.  There were a few spots where information and names had not been revealed to major characters but would suddenly be part of a regular conversation.  I think a little more detail, a little more world building and character development would have helped with the cohesiveness of the story.  The ending was also rather abrupt.  Perhaps there was an issue with editing because if felt like something was missing..Overall, Then Came Love is a sweet story about two people finding love where they least expected it.  Mona Ingram takes the reader on a journey that blends a little suspense with a little romance with the end result in a happily ever after.
