Miss Main Street #1-3
Miss Main Street The Complete Series
The town of Wimber is full of stories, and three young women are out to discover their own.
Clean, Christian fiction with a hint of romance.
Includes all three books in the Miss Main Street series:
Secondhand Secrets:
Every small town has its secrets. Darcy’s have been locked up inside her since that last summer when she left Wimber, Texas, and the boy she loved, for a glitzy life in Los Angeles.
Seven years later, her gran’s passed away. Darcy’s been named as the sole owner of the Tangled in Time antique store. Darcy can’t wait to get back to the place where she’s always felt she belonged. But owning a business isn’t as easy as it seems. And sometimes the past is better left alone.
But Darcy is determined to push forward, despite the obstacles that cross her path. And maybe even have another chance for love with the man who stayed behind.
Blessed Arrangements
Lila's Flower shop and wedding business keep her plenty busy. Add in a handsome firefighter and crazy hits the fan.
When Lila's sister and nephew move back in and a terrible disaster threatens her tiny Texas town, Lila realizes she might not be able to fix everything on her own. Will God send the miracle she needs to help her out of this mess?
Inn Dependence
For two years, Sammi Morretti has cared for her home-bound grandfather. Now he's gone, and she's left with no place to go.
Then a mysterious aunt invites her to work at a tiny bed and breakfast in the town of Wimber. Can the Main Street women and a kind youth pastor with a dangerous history pull Sammi out of the darkness she's lived in for so long?

Books 1 to 3 of this series in one book, and I loved them all. A story, even with romance thrown in, doesn't need to have lots of steamy sex scenes to be a good read.
In "Secondhand Secrets", Darcy comes back from a life of glitter in the big city, as she has inherited her grandmother's small antique shop. She decides to continue with the shop, but when her ex-fiancé turns up, the new budding romance with the friend of her youth, Ramsey, seems to be in jeopardy.
"Blessed Arrangements" tells the story of Lila, owner of the flower shop, who relies heavily on wedding to keep her shop afloat. When her egoistic sister moves in with her with her little son, and a competitor opens in town, she has to learn how to fight. And if that wasn't enough, there's this really nice firefighter who only saw her in her more clumsy moments.
"Inn Dependence" shows us Sammi, who has completely shut herself in her little shell after caring for her sick grandfather for two years, and has nowhere to go. When her aunt, the owner of the bed and breakfast, invites her to come and stay, she takes her up on her offer. The budding romance between her and a youth pastor is threatened by his dangerous past.
Simple stories, perhaps, but very well told, and passing on the message that with the help of God, you can overcome most obstacles, or become strong enough to accept them.
Very likeable protagonists, a sense of humour throughout all the narration and the dialogues, good plots make these books a very enjoyable read - like snuggling up in a warm blanket on a cold evening.

Wish I could find this wonderful town and move there! Yes things are bigger and better in Texas, she got the weather right too! The characters are awesome, entertaining, exciting, and Christian! The details make you feel right at home! There are wacky and wonderful adventures in all three books! You feel like you have stepped right into their world! I loved the animals especially the Potbelly pig, (not but a Humongous hog) that thinks she is a person, the baby goats, the deaf Dalmatian, all real to life pets and their wonderful owners. Each book relates to each couple with different problems who don’t let tragedies in their life hold them back! They let go and let God! Very refreshing and enjoyable I can't wait to spend more time in Wimble, Texas! Loved it !!

Sweet, Clean Romances
When I picked this out, I wasn't sure if I'd read more than the first book. I'm happy to say each book was connected to the others but in such a way none of the MCs was a brother or sister. Each of the heroines was so different from the others, as were the heroes. I also appreciated getting to know the Main Street Business Ladies better in each successive book. They're a sweet bunch, but strong and feisty. Also, the faith element was well done. These characters were either learning about faith in God, going to church, and/or praying. When characters live their faith, I love reading those kinds of stories.
So if faith-filled, sweet, clean romances are your thing, you'll probably enjoy this set.

Beautiful stories
What a great series. So full of God’s love and grace. The characters will draw you in and make you want to set on the porch and drink lemonade out of a mason jar with them.

Clean Romance
I enjoyed these three stories very much. The need for editing and formatting is the reason for the four stars. The characters are well written, and the setting is easy to visualize. The romances are sweet, and Christian values are woven through the stories.

GOD’S GRACE
This story kept me enthralled the entire time. Sammi and Grayson are so supportive of each other and compliment each other’s weakness in such a beautiful loving way. So many reminders that His Plan for each of us will happen inHis time.

Such a sweet set of stories
This book set is great for tweens to fifty somethings! All of the stories are very touching with characters that are relatable. I am glad I took the time to give them a chance.

These stories were lovely about small town business women. I would have given them 4 stars but felt the endings were a bit weak.. may look at more books by this author.

Interesting concept of small business owners. I definitely enjoyed the history 'mystery'.

Youth
Sweet and touching. The author handled the gang issues in a small town very well. I enjoyed the growing romance between Sammi and Greyson.

Good stories, but uses a corrupt Bible version and doesn’t reconcile with the doctrine of repentance. Typical girl and boy meet go out together, get married stories. Good character depth.
