Book Description
For fans of Becky Albertalli and Ali Novak comes a fun, flirty romance about navigating first love, and the challenge of letting go of perfection. Classic Hollywood and high school collide in this charming teen romance about finding love where you least expect it. Maddie Brooks has always dreamed of a romance straight out of a classic Hollywood film, complete with her very own silver screen heartthrob. But she never expected to find that in her new neighbor. Jesse Morales is a lot of things-star pitcher for the baseball team, a member of the popular crowd, her friend's gorgeous older brother-but he's not the kind of boy Maddie pictured herself falling for. She's always had her heart set on someone who is as into theatre as she is-and jocks are so not her style. Then Maddie discovers that Jesse was raised as a dancer, and that he might just be what she's been looking for after all-as long as she can convince him to take the stage again. But when it becomes clear that baseball, not dance, is Jesse's passion, Maddie is faced with a choice: should she hold out for the romance of her dreams, or let herself fall for the boy who's unexpectedly taken her heart?

Pages : 241
Book Description
Hubba, Hubba! Check Out Your Hubby He’s predictable, proverbial, and prone to leaving his dirty clothes in a pile beside the laundry basket. He’s the big lug lying next to you every night–and believe it or not, he is your Prince Charming! But what happens when a man other than your husband begins looking and sounding more appealing? Transform your marriage with the realization that the man you always wanted is the one you already have. Striking biblical insights, combined with Paula Friedrichsen ’s candid revelations about the inappropriate relationship that nearly destroyed her marriage, will help you see that no man compares to the one you already have. Discover how to: - embrace the differences between you and your spouse, - revel in the freedom of forgiveness, and - draw near to the only Source of lasting fulfillment. Story Behind the Book “Twelve years ago, I became romantically, though thankfully not sexually, involved with my then-pastor. This resulted in the church’s devastation and a great deal of harm to both of our marriages. But God used the difficult lessons I learned during that arduous time to reshape my thinking about marriage and to plainly show me that the man I always wanted was the one I already had. By using my own story of failure and forgiveness as a backdrop, this book illustrates how our heart’s desire is often found no further then the big lug lying next to us in bed each night!” –Paula Friedrichsen
