She wrote the rom-com script but didn’t expect to star in it or fall for her leading man.

Margorie:
I’m thrilled when a studio options my Valentine’s rom-com script. But when the female star drops out and the filming schedule leaves no wiggle room, I’m forced to step into the leading lady role. Acting beside Grant Akerson is no hardship—he’s one of Hollywood’s silver fox leading men. Except the on-screen sparks between us don’t stay on screen. Am I just faking a romance for the cameras or falling for my leading man?

Grant:
The more I get to know Margorie, the harder I fall. Between our real-life awkward meet cute, a botched kissing scene, and this undeniable attraction, the line between acting and reality starts to blur. When did faking it become so real?

Should Margorie and Grant stick to the script or follow their heart?

Christmas should be a time of wonder and celebration, but the obstacles each faces seem insurmountable. Even, at times, life-threatening. 

Perhaps they will find what they are seeking during this season of miracles and hope. Or maybe, with God’s help, they will discover that the longing of their hearts takes them to places—and people—they didn’t even know they’d been searching for.  

I’ll Be Home is a collection of four stories of faith, hope, love, (and trains) that will warm your heart, encourage your soul, and draw you home this Christmas.

Book Review of 'Love, Lies and Valentines' by D.E. Malone

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

I decided this year to start a new Valentine's Day tradition.  My husband is Mr. Non-Romantic, and doesn't "celebrate" Valentine's Day, so this year I am taking matters into my own hands, and posting a special Valentine-themed review, as well as read a Valentine story today.  I am also making special Valentine cupcakes with my boys, which just having time with my two active teenagers is a treat in and of itself.

My Valentine choice this year to read is the short story 12 Days of Valentines by Lynn Collins (my review will be posted later this month) and my special Valentine review is the newest release from one of my favorite authors Dawn Malone: Love, Lies and Valentines♡

Genre: Clean Contemporary Romance

All is Fair in Love and Bidding Wars

When museum curator Maggie Patton learns a rare valentine collection will be auctioned in Minnesota, nothing will stop her from making the cross-country trip to acquire it. As Valentine’s Day approaches, she needs the distraction anyway to take her mind off what should have happened over the holiday weekend—a marriage proposal from her ex. Trouble is, someone also has an eye on the prize and he’s determined to post the highest bid. 

One valentine in Lot 23 belonged to Ry Murray’s famous distant relative, he’s sure of it. As family historian, Ry’s obsessed with recovering the long-lost card, but outbidding the woman who’s come from Boston seems impossible, unless he convinces her it’s better off in his hands than hers.

When an eccentric billionaire pays big money to thwart their plans, Maggie and Ry think they’re out of luck. But then the gentleman proposes a Cupid’s match: spend forty-eight hours together building a convincing courtship and the best performer leaves town with the valentine. The scheme seems like a losing game for Maggie and Ry, but with their hearts on the line, might they win at love?

The Christmas season always had a way of lifting her spirits, and this year is no different. The spark within her to live again couldn't have come at a better time when she and Detective Brian Morris are reacquainted, but first, she must believe that she deserves happiness.

Will the circumstances of how they met prevent Melanie from taking a chance on love?

Brian was drawn to Melanie when he first laid eyes on her over a year ago; he wanted to ask her out, but the timing was all wrong.

Though Brian desires love, will his unresolved issues with his mother get in the way?

Every moment spent with one another can only be described as fate - a power beyond human control. Will this Christmas season bring about the healing and love both Melanie and Brian crave?
