The Paper List
She needs her rent money. He’s a cynic with secrets.
Emma Redwood is in the exclusive wedding card business. When a called-off wedding threatens her rent money, she’s left with no choice: meddle or lose her home. She soon discovers that playing cupid has its challenges. She needs help, and she needs it fast. What better accomplice than the ex-best man? Benedict Holmes was reluctant to be his friend’s best man. He agreed to it, knowing that someone would need to be there when it all fell apart. Which it did, spectacularly. His relief is short-lived when the stubborn Ms. Redwood comes knocking on his door, insisting he help her reunite the two and get the wedding back on track. Her meddling pokes into his past and the real reason for his wedding doubts. In the mess of three-tier cakes, secrets and flying emotions, Emma soon finds that the rent money isn’t all that’s at stake.

Nice read
The reason for secrecy was too close to home. And it was evident from the start that they would get together. But a pleasant story.

The Paper List
I love the characters Dianne creates! And the humor, oh yes! Thank you for a beautiful story - on so many levels. I didn’t want it to end.

Opposites Attract
I chose this book after reading The Cake List, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The Paper List did not disappoint. Any age or interest group would be drawn into the drama of the on/off character relationships with a hint of mystery thrown in for good measure. Twists and turns of the story line kept me turning pages when I had promised myself only one more chapter.

So much fun!
I read lots of books but this particular book was so much fun! I kept reading just to see how things would develop and what would happen next. I enjoyed the dialogue and laughed at that mishaps of the characters, related in big ways to some of mains’ hangups… Well done, Mrs. Wilson!

great story
I loved all three books from this author but was often distracted by poor editing, word placement, and wrong words or no word. Great fun reading.

A good story
More of a romance novel than contemporary Christian fiction. Prayers were thrown in. Inner turmoil or struggle were present but not bone jarring.

Wonderful
Such a wonderful story in this amazing series. Though this was a fun read, it has depth with the main characters along with their faith development.

This was my favorite to date of Dianne J. Wilson's novels. Set in South Africa, they are engaging, clean stories with a Christian message.

This was a good read. It was interesting following the main characters life. It sounded like a true story or it could happen to someone.

I have read the Cake List, The Never List, and The Paper List. In that order. I’m an avid reader. I read everyday. Gods Word along with something else. These three books are magnificent. I wish there were another “list”. You must read these! Thank you Dianne J. Wilson.
