Whatever It Takes

Rate this book
Boy meets girl.
Boy loses girl.
Man does whatever it takes to win woman back.

During a pivotal period in their 20’s, Ta'Mara (a driven introvert) and Jared (an easy-going, kind soul) surprisingly found kindred spirits in one another.

Now years later, as older adults who have bad decisions, rash decisions and over a decade of separation between them, can the possibility of the second chance they’ve been handed overcome the mistrust that puts their Happily Ever After in question?

"Whatever It Takes: a Bonfire Circle Story" is a spicy Interracial Christian romance with a sprinkling of mature content that may not be suitable for all audiences.. Themes include second-chances, nerd-love, cinnamon roll men and the curvy cinnamon roll ladies they're smart enough to fall in love with.

About the author

Quint Emm Ellis

14 books84 followers
Quint Emm Ellis is inspired by Toni Morrison's quote: "If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."

Quint enjoys penning stories that feel a bit grounded and center around heroines who are unabashedly nerdy and/or introverted, cinnamon roll romantic, passionate, fallible women who happen to be black, who happen to be Christian and who likely love an uplifting and, possibly, inspirational story.

Her favorite things are audio books, watching movies, finding great deals and spoiling her cat and dog rotten in the city where her books typically take place.

God’s got this

I decided that during Lent , I would read more God honoring romance stories. Wow, this did not disappoint. This was a beautiful unveiling of the process God centered relationships have the potential to go through. It incorporates scripture and scenarios without sounding preachy or like a sermon with a bit of romance thrown in. It shows that unmarried couples in Christ struggle with physical temptation and it doesn’t make them less of a Christian but a human who needs God’s grace & the Holy Spirit’s guidance. This book spoke from the woman & man’s point of view, as well as from the believer & non-believer perspective,while being respectful to all. Highly recommend this read.

Great book!

I love the fact that this book was Christian based. The characters felt real and the story line was great. If you are looking for a clean, Christian romance that addresses real relationship issues, forgiveness and second chances..... I definitely recommend this book. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

I’m glad Tay took her time before she gave Jared a second chance. This was an enjoyable story though I think it could’ve been shorter and still had a good impact
