It’s Friday! How was your week? I had a wonderful one since I was off work and had the privilege of attending the Christy Awards on Wednesday. What are you currently reading? Deborah Raney’s newest release is one I’m looking forward to digging into soon.
About the Book
Joanna Chandler always dreamed of becoming an attorney. But when she left law school to help care for her dying mother, stepping away from her single-minded pursuit gave her space to reconsider. The only question is, if not law, what should she do with her life?
To keep her mind off an uncertain future, Joanna helps her older sister, Phylicia, throw an amazing outdoor wedding on the charming Missouri property the three Chandler sisters own together. That’s when she realizes wedding planning could be a thriving business of its own. And Lukas Blaine, the handsome wedding DJ, opens her mind to the possibility of love on the horizon.
But there’s more to Luke than meets the eye. The young boy he’s been mentoring has lost his mother and become Luke’s ward. Mateo is sullen and angry and needs constant attention. How can Luke possibly find the time to start a new relationship or saddle someone else with a wounded child? He may have to let go of the woman of his dreams–and crush her dreams at the same time.

I’m currently reading More Than a Pretty Face which is Karen Witemeyer’s novella included in Serving Up Love. I’m on chapter 2 so I’ll share thet first line of that chapter here. “Rosalind Kemp approached the new Santa Fe Depot from the west, making use of the exterior door that led directly into the kitchen.” I hope you have a nice weekend!
Happy Weekend! My first line is from “The Strength of Their Love” by Kimberly Rae Jordan:
“Forrest Williams slammed his hand on the nightstand, trying to find his phone so he could shut off the racket the alarm was making.”
I have been wanting to read this by Deborah!
My first line is from The Pursuit of Home by Kristi Hunter
Marlborough, England 1816
Sometimes, despite time, distance, and a significant amount of ignoring it, the past never quite went away.
Happy Saturday! Today I’m sharing the first line from Forged Through Fire: A Reconstructive Surgeon’s Story of Survival, Faith, and Healing by Mark D. McDonough, MD: “I woke perspiring as an intense wall of heat rolled across the room.”
