Favorite Book Friday

A Splash of Substance (Taste of Romance series book 1) by Elizabeth Maddrey contemporary Christian romance. Elizabeth sometimes throws in a Lord of the Rings or Narnia reference, which I thoroughly enjoy. Her stories aren't comfortable, but I always end up glad I read them; she makes me think.

A Pinch of Promise (Taste of Romance series book 2) by Elizabeth contemporary Christian romance. Funnily enough, her heroines grate on my nerves. They remind me of myself; many of their flaws are mine. I enjoy seeing them overcome, not perfectly but better.

A Dash of Daring (Taste of Romance series book 3) by Elizabeth contemporary Christian romance. This time, I had more in common with the hero. He's struggling to find his calling, following the path of least resistance. I've done that a lot in my life. Loved it.

A Handful of Hope (Taste of Romance series book 4) by Elizabeth Maddrey contemporary Christian romance. Jen delved into some of my ongoing troubles. I loved Jen and David as individuals and as a couple.

A Tidbit of Trust (Taste of Romance series book 5) by Elizabeth Maddrey contemporary Christian romance. The end another series I enjoyed. Her characters are wonderfully real and imperfect. I understood Sara struggle with believing she was forgiven. Adam's jumping to conclusions sometimes drove me crazy, and yet it's not a quality I'm proud of in myself. The Grant Us Grace series comes before this, for those who like to read in order.
