Ready Or Not

by Linnhe McCarron

When Amanda Maxwell and Anna Sherman arrive in Paris for the Olympics, they discover they've been scammed, and their lodging doesn't exist; there's only an alley where the address should be. And every hotel, pensione, hostel, Airbnb, every room in the city had been booked for months. It's only the kindness of strangers, Whit McLaughlin and his goodhearted sister, that saves the day.
But Dr. Whitney McLaughlin doesn't remain a stranger for long. The only problem is that he lives in Seattle—and Mandy doesn't. Overcoming the distance is just the first of the problems they face.

Love, love, love the final chapter.

The entire story is great, but the last page is perfect. I have been a fan of this author for years, but this might be her best book yet. Characters that jump out of the pages and grab your heart while the story winds through their lives. Great Job!
