Between us girls, book #22

A pleasant surprise.  When I first started reading this book I wasn't sure I was going to like it, but the more I got into it I could hardly put it down.  I fell in love with Jasmine, Sam and of course sweet Mama Liv!  I fell in love with the Casa de Vida "detainees"!  And I'm pretty sure I may have fallen in love Keagen who has no first name.  But that's another story .....

This book was a nice, refreshing break from what I have been reading where this a love story always simmering and did truly focus on the relationships of Liv, Jasmine and Sam.  They seem to come from three different backgrounds, but all their stories intertwined and made them seem like one.  Stories like these remind you are not randomly placed in situations or places for no cause, but the Lord is at work in every move and adventure you go on.  

Highly recommend!!

(and the good news is, this IS a series and I didn't even know it!  Of course, it is not being released until next February, but I can wait.  This book could be a stand alone because all the ends came together in one nice little bow.)

From bestselling Christian fiction author Sally John comes a brand-new series featuring broken lives, new beginnings...and unexpected romance.

Welcome to Casa de Vida—eleven quaint bungalows located three blocks from the Pacific Ocean in tiny Seaside Village, California. Owner Liv McAlister never advertises vacancies beyond a small hand-lettered sign out front, preferring to trust that God will send the right tenant at just the right time. And He always does.

Meet Jasmyn Albright—she’s had more than her share of bad breaks lately, beginning with the tornado that demolished her farmhouse. Emotionally fragile and feeling utterly alone, Jasmyn heads west, hoping to outrun her heartbreak. And she doesn’t stop until she notices a small sign that reads “Vacancy.” Before she’s quite aware of how it all happened, Jasmyn finds herself the newest tenant at Casa de Vida. She hardly dares to hope that her fortunes might be about to change…but of course when God is at work, anything can happen, and new beginnings are one of His specialties.

Sometimes among strangers, family happens. And sometimes, when we least expect it, romance is a welcome guest. (picture and description at amazon)
