Give Me A Reason
Successful real estate agent Vaughn Holiday is reluctant to accept an early birthday gift from her ex-boyfriend, Trace. Why would the man who still loves her give her tickets to the Mix and Mingle, an event where she’s sure to have her pick from a pool of eligible Atlanta bachelors? But despite her initial hesitation, Vaughn decides to give it a try. When she arrives with her cousin and best friend, Kiysha, by her side, she’s informed that the rules have she’ll be going on 12 blind dates!
Vaughn throws all inhibitions aside for a chance at love, or at least to get interesting content for the relationships blog she’s decided to resurrect. But Vaughn quickly finds out that just because there are tons of fish in the sea, it doesn’t mean they’re all a great catch!
With each blind date, Vaughn realizes her love for Trace is still in her heart, but is disheartened that he may have moved on to another woman. But as fate, faith, and love would have it, Trace returns with reasons why their lives would be better together than they are apart.

Give Me A Reason was a beautiful love story true to Tia McCollors style. I love all her characters, Vaughn and Trace included. Vaughn is a real estate agent who has moved up the ladder in her career, which put her love life on hold. She agrees to attend an even for singles in her area forcing her to go on multiple dates. Trace is hoping that one day Vaughn will see him as more than a friend, and is biding his time while she explores these dates. The characters were entertaining and relatable. I wanted to know more of them by the end of the book. I can't wait for what's next from Tia McCollors.

My sister text me this morning and recommended I read this author. I immediately looked her up and downloaded this book to my Kindle. So glad I did! Ms. McCollors kept her novel totally clean and kept the hero and heroine sanctified. This was a lovers to friends, friends, friends to lovers novel. Ms. Vaughn Holiday had deeply put her friend Trace in the Friend’s Zone. He wanted out so bad, but Ms. Vaughn would not budge. I enjoyed her blog about her dating adventures. Huggy Bear was my favorite of the dates she endured. Some of the other dates, I’m know some girls have experienced some of dating disasters that Vaughn blogged about. I never did like going out with a cheap skate, and always had my own money to cover myself on a date. Sometimes, you instantly know it’s one and done. All her blogged dates were one and done, and she knew they would be. But it was fun and enlightening to experience what dating is like for many of our daughters.

I absolutely loved this book! When the right man for you finds you and know that you are the one for him, nothing will stop him! You will laugh, cry and shake your head at this cast of characters. Waiting for a follow-up book. Please and thank you!

Do you believe in love?
First off, I have been waiting on this book since it was announced. It didn't disappoint. Vaughn is young real estate professional who wants love but is afraid if committing due to being hurt in the past. Her ex trace gives her 2 tickets to a mix and mingle event where she goes on 12 dates and from there hilarity ensues. I don't want to give away too much but true love always wins out. This is a Christian Romance but I liked the fact that it was not preachy. Another 5 star read from Tia Mccollors.

I love this book!
This is truly one of the best romance books I have ever read! Vaugh and Trace were truly a match made in heaven. This is one of those books that you want to know how it ends, but you don't want it to end.
