Irene Hannon: Cover Change

I woke this morning to a lovely email from Irene Hannon letting me know that my wonderful readers have made a difference! Yep, you!

You may recall my cover reveal post for Revell’s 2015 Summer lineup, included Irene’s contemporary romance novel, Hope Harbor: A Novel, and I made this comment about the cover:

“While I like the simplicity and calm of Irene’s, I’m bothered by the angle of the shot of the model – I assume it is meant to be a woman but it looks like she could equally be a young girl.”

A book character that sticks in my mind is…Scout Finch. I think that other than the Hardy Boys, Scout was one of the first stories I read that felt real to me. The people came alive on the page.

I do most of my reading late at night after I’ve hopped into bed. There’s nothing like ending my day getting lost in the pages of novel.

How about you? When is your optimal time …

A book character that sticks in my mind is…Sister Luke, from THE NUN’S STORY, my favourite book. I discovered that novel as a teenager, and loved it because it was so foreign to my world.

The last book that made me cry was… ONE LIGHT STILL SHINES, by Marie Monville

The last book that made me laugh out loud was… a cookbook. When I realized I’d had the chutzpah to think I could actually make marzipan!

Match Made by Erynn Mangum

Synopsis:~

Annie McKay is a perpetual loner who moves to town for a job and expects for life to pretty much stay the same as it’s always been – until she meets Lauren Holbrook Palmer and her group of crazy, fun friends. Being alone has always been Annie’s way of life, but with Jesus and Lauren at the helm, things are likely going to change.

This is the fourth novel in the popular Lauren Holbrook series – Miss Match, Rematch and Match Point.

My take:~

I have always adored Erynn Mangum’s voice and Match Made is no exception, despite the …
