Torn by her past, Harriet Bisset works hard at the Christian life. When Maddox McCray comes to town as a church consultant, his unorthodox ways scare her silly. After all she left motorcycles and the wild life behind. She doesn't want the old Harriet raising her ugly head.Tamara Leigh's themes of forgiveness and grace run through this fast-reading, chick lit tale. Harriet, Maddox, and the crew from First Grace made it hard to put this book down. Oh...and I now have this bizarre craving for Jelly Bellys.
If you're looking for a great summer read, this book fits the bill.
Sounds like a great read. And I love Jelly Bellys.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather -
ReplyDeleteSplitting Harriet was light, funny, and yet had a strong spiritual theme.
Personally, I'd reach for chocolate. :)

Wow, this sounds great. It's been so long since I've read chick-lit. Sometimes it's just nice to have a ligh-hearted read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Susan. :)
Hi Emily -
ReplyDeleteThis is a fairly new genre for me. I found I enjoy Tamara's style and her penchant for characters with interesting food preferences.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Have heard great things about Tamara's writing. This is the time to dive in.

The whole "jelly belly" thing makes me curious.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to read this one, if I can ever get through the stack of books on my nightstand!
Thanks for the review.

Hi Britt -
ReplyDeleteThe Jelly Bellys added some funny moments to the story. :)
Blessings,
Susan
Hmmmm...forgiveness & grace sound like a winning combination! How many books do you read, Susan? I admire the fact that you post book reviews so often! I love reading - and jelly bellys, too!
ReplyDeleteI always appreciate your stops by Life Lessons. In response to your comment - Great point! If our legacy is to be the God-honoring kind, we have to be emptied of self and filled with His Spirit! Thank you for your words of encouragement. Have a blessed weekend! :)
Susan....I accidently DELETED the wonderful comment you put on my blog today. I did get a chance to read it first, thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteThat was some of the best advice I've had. Perhaps I'm rushing myself. And, I do want two manuscripts to have when I start submitting.
I also need to focus on my devotion submissions as well.
Thanks again. Sorry I deleted it. I thought I posted it but it was all gone.
Hi Maria -
ReplyDeleteI try to read a book a week, occasionally two. Thanks for stopping by. :)
Blessings,
Susan
Hi Britt -
ReplyDeleteAh, the joys of blogging. I've had a few similar mishaps. I'm glad you were able to read it.

Sounds like one to add to the to-be-read pile! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'd take M&M's over Jelly Bellys. ;)
Hi Sandra -
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny! My preference is also M&M's.
The author's use of Jelly Bellys made me think of them, and I don't even like them. In my mind, they're linked to comfort food and humor.
Blessings,
Susan :)
You know I love her! Have a great weekend and enjoy your new porch. :O)
ReplyDeleteHi Diane -
ReplyDeleteI'm also enjoying her writing. Sometimes I need a break from the heavy stuff. She makes me laugh.
Blessings,
Susan :)
