Love By Delivery
Senior Accounts Manager Dominique Hayes has it all—money, a car and a condo. Well, almost. She’s starting to believe love has passed her by.
One thing for sure, she can’t hurry God, so she continues to wait while losing hope that a special Godly man will ever make his appearance.
Package Courier Ashton Taylor knows a man who finds a wife finds a good thing. The only thing standing in his way of finding the right woman is his long work hours. Or maybe not.
A chance meeting changes everything. When love finally comes knocking, will Dominique open the door and accept Ashton’s special delivery?

I recommend Love By Delivery.
This book makes you believe in love at first sight. Beautifully written story about two saved friends longing to get married to a saved man. They attend their weekly singles church meeting with no one in sight. As God intended love blooms via a special delivery delivered by a Godly for one of the friends. It deals with trusting and believing God. All things work together for those who love the Lord. I love this story.

This was a very fast read. It started out kind of slow and boring but then as I continued reading it became of interest. Dominique was one difficult to please woman and Ashton was really catching it trying to hook up with her. After being late he still would show up. Paige was such a good friend she always told Dominique what she needed to hear. I was glad Dominique and Ashton finally got it together and he proposed to her. Two thumbs up!!!

This was a great read !
I absolutely loved this book, as always Pat Simmons definitely deliver a great one here. The book club and I just got back into reading again. I love how it’s entertaining but yet spiritual.There’s a lot of romance authors out there, but when you find a saved one who writings speaks to the soul and has a good story line; wow that’s a recipe for greatness.

Inspirational!
What a creative and intelligent way to encourage dating of all ages. The characters, " Dominique and Aston" had dated people that did not share their beliefs. This dating left them empty unfulfilled and single. Prayer and scriptures kept the individuals maintaining their desires for a believer in Jesus Christ.
What a sensational guide!

Love By Delivery
I love a good romance story and Ashton and Dominque have just that. Pat can put a good spin to any story. Dominique’s Mom and Dad were a strong spiritual base example of real love. Ladies don’t judge a man by his occupation. You could be missing out on a Godly husband.

I enjoyed reading Love by Delivery. Reading about Dominique's relationship struggles to find a godly man felt very familiar. I recommend this book for singles looking for their forever mate.

Perfect Delivery
I am never disappointed reading anything by Pat Simmons. Reading. "Love by Delivery" is a story of patiently waiting and listening for directions from God. Ashton & Dominique were looking for lasting love. Their story is sweet and refreshing.

Love by Delivery by Pat Simmons
Dominique Hayes is praying for a Godly husband, as is her best friend, Paige. She had actually strayed into dating men outside of her faith but quickly found they were not what God wanted for her. So, she'd wait.
Ashton Taylor is praying for a Godly wife. There are plenty of women at his church who were more than willing to fill that role—but he wanted love. And then...he delivered a package on his delivery route.
A wonderful story of waiting on God and trusting Him to bring your soul mate in His time—not yours. And even when He does...the road to love is not always a smooth one. Loved this story and looking forward to reading Paige's story, Dominique's best friend.

My Review for LOVE BY DELIVERY by Pat Simmons:
OMG! This was such a cute, fun-loving romance. This story will surely encourage those who are single and ready-to-mingle. The characters, Dominque and Ashton are successful and strong in their faith. Each have the same desires but as always road bumps, twists and turns interfere. Download this book to see the wonderful way that author Pat Simmons delivers yet another amazing Christian romance! Five stars!!!!!

This was a pretty good read Dominique was so ready for a husband she had been praying for the perfect man. Her perfect man showed up at her doorstep & the romance started from there she tried to fight it and find excuses because she thought Ashton was not the one. He was everything and more she was looking for a god fearing man the perfect soul mate & im glad she accepted him and said yes.

Dominique, a senior accounts manager get's a delivery by Ashton Taylor, and they begin a whirlwind romance. The characters were a little too judgmental at the beginning, but they both learned a lesson.

That was different
This book was very heavy on the scripture application. That was a bit of a turn off for me personally. It was more like a bible study rather than a novella story. It was cute though and I am glad these 2 found each other. Love always is a win in my opinion.
