Starlight, Texas #2
Counting on Starlight
Star light, star bright. . . A canceled wedding, an insistent ex-fiancé, a tempting job offer, and California girl Liann Rivers unexpectedly finds her dreams tied up in tiny Starlight, Texas. Except when she arrives, the job isn't what was promised, the move doesn't get rid of the pesky ex-fiancé, and her car won't even run. What's a girl to do?
Jake Tucker is tired of being responsible, tired of being the strong tower for his family, and ready to escape Starlight, once and for all. The chance of a lifetime—coaching football at the college level—is finally within reach. Except there’s this new girl in town, and somehow he can’t see himself anywhere without her.
When choices threaten Liann’s job and reputation, Jake must choose between his career and the woman he loves, even if that means staying in Starlight. Forever.

Oh man, you couldn't pay me enough to go back to high school.
Liann goes back as staff but still has to deal with all that drama, plus a growing crush on Jake. That doesn't matter, though, because he's leaving.
Jake is guardian to his high school-aged sister and is overwhelmed. There are too many things that need too much of his attention. He *finally* asks his dad, who reminds him to pray.

I appreciate that the book is a standalone even though part of a series. This is a pleasant Christian romance--I would have preferred that the hero make a choice

This is a very good book about direction in our lives. It was a quick read which I enjoyed and the love story between Liann and Jake was inspiring. It is so refreshing to read about young people praying for their needs. This book made me happy...

Sweet Read
A nice, delightful read for a few hours! I could picture Jake and Liann starting off their relationship like they did... Innocent, yet flirty! I can't wait to read the third book in this series!

Sweet story
I enjoyed this story of sweet romance and learning to trust Papa God. Liann was a bit stubborn and Jake seemed a bit prideful, yet they both sought the wisdom of our Father. A down to earth story with believable characters with real issues.
