My Thoughts
Ready to Be Loved by You is a heartwarming Christian romance that blends faith, love, and healing beautifully. Enewerome doesn’t shy away from tackling tough themes—anxiety, grief, strained family bonds, and doubt—while still delivering a sweet love story.
The Story (Spoilers Ahead 🚨)
We meet Levi, a wedding planner who struggles with anxiety after losing his cousin years ago. Entrusted with planning an entire wedding by himself, he’s determined to make sure everything goes perfectly. Deep down, Levi longs for a love like the ones he sees at the weddings he organizes.
On the other side, there’s Vivienne, who grew up craving her father’s affection but always felt “not enough.” Fresh out of school and job hunting, she agrees to stand in as maid of honor at her cousin’s wedding when a friend can’t make it. But nothing goes smoothly then she loses her veil, the rain makes her late, and her first run-in with Levi is a disaster. (Water is spilled, tempers flare, and words are exchanged.)
Despite the rocky start, Vivienne catches the attention of the bride and is offered other maid-of-honor gigs. She also gets connected with Levi’s event planning team. Their paths keep crossing, and while Vivienne is determined to stay civil, Levi regrets his outburst and works hard to earn her forgiveness turning to prayer and patience.
The turning point comes with… mangoes! 🍋 Sharing them breaks the ice, and soon friendship blossoms. Levi even builds a blog for Vivienne, and they begin to open up about their wounds, his cousin’s death and her broken relationship with her father. Levi encourages her to reconcile with her dad and, most importantly, renew her relationship with God.
But Vivienne resists love. Her parents’ marriage was toxic, and she fears repeating the same mistakes. When her father falls sick, she feels torn between resentment and responsibility. Meanwhile, Levi continues to model grace and faith, showing her what forgiveness looks like. Eventually, Vivienne makes peace with her father, who sincerely apologizes for the hurt he caused her.
Still, a major conflict arises: Levi wants a relationship rooted in God, but Vivienne has no faith. She quits her job, blocks Levi, and tries to move on. But God continues working in her life. Through her father’s miraculous healing and her own realizations, Vivienne finally accepts God’s love and gives her life to Christ.
In the end, Vivienne and Levi reunite, start over, and—yes—get married. 💕
