At first I thought this book would be hard to read, since it seems to be written in "real time" first person [remember, NOT an english major! :)] but there were only a few clunky parts. Really cute story. Light and fun! Reminds you to chase your dreams.
Melissa had her whole life planned – the
perfect job, the perfect guy, the perfect family, in the perfect town, but as
she is preparing to walk the aisle on her wedding day, she can’t ignore the
Whisper any longer. As she listens to the Whisper she’s led to a place she
never knew existed – a tiny mission church that ministers to a Native American
community. There she meets a little girl with a secret and a handsome
missionary with a heartbreaking past. Will she continue to follow the Whisper
to a strange and exciting, but scary and unpredictable life, or will she wise
up and settle for the perfectly plotted comfortable life she thought she always
wanted? (picture and description from amazon)

After finally recovering from the first book of the year, and knowing Book Club was coming up, I was ready to jump into this yummy goodie.
While it was not as quite the same level of intensity as the last one, it was exceptional and kept me on the edge of my seat, especially as it got closer to the end. I mean, usually in books like this you can pretty much guess how it is going to turn out, but I literally was not sure which way it was going to go! It was a good ride, all the way to the end!
Baker and pastry
chef Melody Johansson has always believed in finding the positive in every
situation, but seven years after she moved to Denver, she can’t deny that she’s
stuck in a rut. One relationship after another has ended in disaster, and her
classical French training is being wasted on her night job in a mediocre chain
bakery. Then the charming and handsome private pilot Justin Keller lands on the
doorstep of her workplace in a snowstorm, and Melody feels like it’s a sign
that her luck is finally turning around. Justin is intrigued by the lively bohemian baker, but the last thing
he’s looking for is a relationship. His own romantic failures have proven that
the demands of his job are incompatible with meaningful connections, and he’s
already pledged his life savings to a new business venture across the
country—an island air charter in Florida with his sister and brother-in-law. Against their better judgment, Melody and
Justin find themselves drawn together by their unconventional career choices
and shared love of adventure. But when an unexpected windfall provides Melody
with the chance to open her dream bakery-café in Denver with her best friend,
chef Rachel Bishop, she’s faced with an impossible choice: stay and put down
roots with the people and place she’s come to call home . . . or give it all up
for the man she loves. (picture and description from Amazon)
Happy Reading!
