Eighteen months. That's how long 30-year-old Josh Wilson has to get married. He's been widowed less than a week, but Bo Jamison, Josh's late father-in-law, tied his inheritance to his marital status. Josh would be fine without Bo's money, but failing to meet the stipulations means Bo's wife and Josh's daughter get nothing. And Josh can't live with that.
Stephanie Jamison is only twenty, but her blog on purity is extremely popular. She'd planned to move in with her best friend in Serenity Landing, but the friend eloped, leaving Stephanie with no place to go. The nanny job offered by her great-uncle right before his death seemed to be the perfect solution.
Until she found out she'd be living two rooms down from the boy she used to have a crush on.
Josh barely remembers the girl who fell off the stage at drama camp. Though he's fairly sure Bo was trying to set him up with Stephanie, he has no choice but to accept her help. Despite his late father-in-law's interference, it's too soon to move on - and Stephanie is much too young. Or he's much too old. Or both. Besides, he has the Serenity Landing Comedy Club to save.
When circumstances spiral out of control, they have two choices - get married or lose everything. On the line are Stephanie's blogging job she loves and the inheritance Josh needs for his mother-in-law. It's the only way he can keep the club going and his employees paid. They grow closer, but will they ever believe he's Finally Mr. Write?
When she's not writing about her imaginary friends, Carol Moncado is hanging out with her husband, four kids, and a dog who weighs less than most hard cover books. She prefers watching NCIS to just about anything, except maybe watching Castle. She believes peanut butter M&Ms are the perfect food and Dr. Pepper should come in an IV. When not watching her kids - and the dog - race around her big backyard in Southwest Missouri, she's teaching American Government at a local community college. She's a founding member and President of MozArks ACFW, category coordinator for First Impressions, blogger at InspyRomance, and represented by Tamela Hancock Murray of The Steve Laube Agency.
I'm a guy; an old guy. I mean more than old enough to be Josh's father. My son is over fifty and my daughters fourty-ish. I have six grandchildren. But I love these Christian Romance stories; realistic people with plausible problems and conflicts many of us have gone through; working out salvation with fear and trembling. The days of our lives as the world turns are meaningless without unselfish love submitted to each other under God.
I may have started reading these Serenity Landing books out of sequence, but I’m trying to rectify that. Enjoyed Josh and Stephanie’s, although sometimes I wanted to strangle Josh. For all his clueless mistakes, he finished well. Loved little Alyssa. They all did better when they sought God through prayer and His Word.
I’m happy that they keep Christ at the center like we do (43 years going strong). The she in this is a blogger and columnist with 2 fiction manuscripts finished and being shopped around. What I liked most was when they were approached to do an inspirational guide for teens.
This was good. I liked how she tied in the purity blog and real life circumstances as well as how the church and Christians often react to these types of situations. It was a good book!
"Finally Mr. Write" kept me interested from page one. This is a story that speaks of real life problems, misunderstandings, hurt feelings and coming through all that and discovering true love. The writing was wonderful, the story was wonderful. I can't wait for the 3rd book in the series. Another fabulous job Carol Moncado.
As usual, Carol Moncado has given us a fantastic book." Finding Mr Write is the story of Josh and Stephanie and their journey to finding love. "I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine;he browses among the lilies". Song of Solomon 6:3 NIV is the verse that called to me in this book. Thanks, again Carol. A copy of this book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.
Absolute lovely read. A book that grabs your interest from page one. Christian, humorous romance. This was my first read of this author and diffently will not be the last. This marriage of convenience/inconvenience between the hero and heroine is used by the author to bring in Bibical marriage, but in a humorous way. I was given this book for an honest review.
