Favorite Book Friday

Her Best Match (The Best Girls series book 1) by Tamie Dearen sweet contemporary romance. I didn't like the heroine, at first. Then I realized she babbles, like I do, and it isn't a trait I like in myself. Once I recognized that, I thoroughly enjoyed the story and bought the next book.

Arresting, as in striking, appears by 1883. Arrested, as in arrested development, is from 1859.

Monday Quote

Growth is painful.

Change is painful.

But nothing is as painful

as staying stuck

somewhere you don’t belong.

Input is an iffy word to use. While it means "put on or impose," from the late 14th century, that isn't quite what I meant in the sentence. I'll need to find a different word.

Tough Luck

The fourth novella in the series...

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and maybe a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Holiday's playboy, Brent Kelly, returns home a changed man, if only everyone would believe him. The First Annual Tough Luck Run offers him the opportunity to prove he turned over a new leaf.

Cindy Garvey has worked hard her whole life, and now she is preparing to move from employee to business owner with her best friend. The last thing she needs is one more surprise in her life.

God provides the way to Happily Ever After, no matter how far astray His children wander...

The Wish List by Fay Robinson contemporary romance. A lovely story I've had on my shelf for years. Glad I moved it to the top of the To-Be-Read pile.
