Terri, book #23

 


This book was a slow start, but once I finally got into it I found it quite enjoyable.  Good enough to go back and read the other ones in the series?  Not anytime soon, but maybe later.  

She’s always longed for more…  Running a thriving daycare keeps Terri Hayes busy. Add a new foster daughter to the mix and Terri shouldn’t have time to want more—but she does. At twenty-nine, her biological clock is ticking away. When a busted pipe floods her home, she finds temporary sanctuary in a basement apartment—one that just happens to be owned by her long-time crush, single dad Steve Evans.
Is he ready to date again?  Steve is widower, a father of two teenaged girls, and a successful writer. His life is full, but he wouldn’t mind exploring a romance with Terri. But when lines of communication get crossed, the budding relationship grounds to a halt.
Two matchmakers to the rescue…  Iris and Samantha Evans want a stepmother and have set their sights on Terri. Their matchmaking includes equal parts prayer and deception. Will their scheming result in the wedding of their dreams, or will the harsh confrontation between Steve and the parents of Terri’s foster child be an obstacle they can’t overcome?  (book and description from Amazon)

Since the non-fiction book I referenced before actually starts with "U" and I am half way through and book club isn't until next week, I decided to focus on it and finish it before jumping into whatever our picker chooses next week!

Keep Reading!

Sandcastle Inn (A Hope Harbor Novel Book #10), book #22

 



Oh my goodness!  This book that we picked for Book Club was SUCH A TREAT!!!  I had forgotten that I had already read other books in the series here and here.  Luckily this series is one that you can pick up any where in it and read about another person's story.  I can't wait to dive into the ones I have missed!!

Vienna Price never intended to return for more than a passing visit to Oregon and all the bad memories she'd left behind. But when your career tanks, home is where you go to nurse your wounds and chart a new course. Only temporarily, of course--because as much as she loves her quirky mom, anything more than a short stay would drive them both crazy.  A trip to Oregon isn't in Matt Quinn's plans, either, until a perfectly timed appeal for help arrives from his sister. What better place to decompress after a shattering loss than a quiet, seaside town named Hope Harbor? But R&R isn't on the agenda when he arrives to find his sister's new enterprise on life support.  Vienna, however, may have just the skills needed to resuscitate the foundering B&B--if Matt can convince her to hang around long enough to mend an inn . . . and his heart.  (picture and description at Amazon)

In the meantime, besides the whole Bible we are reading again at church, I've also picked up a nonfiction book I'm slowly working through.  I'm a little bit scared about reading it, as it's probably going to turn off stuff I'm not sure I want turned over, but probably need to.  Update coming later. 


Happy Summer Reading!!
