      I'm getting old. Last week I wrote that I was being interviewed on Penelope's Book Chat and forgot to give you the link. Well, the interview went well.

    • Book Review – Doing Max Vinyl by Frederick Lee Brooke
      When I started reading this book I had a hard time knowing who the main characters were. We’re introduced to a group of them in just about every chapter. Too many characters, introduced too quickly is a no-no in writing, unless you can break the rules and get away with it. Brooke does break the rules and it works in this case. The situations we find them in […]

The Sunday Book Review – Destiny’s Dream by Delia Latham

Posted by Lisa Lickel on January 16, 2011

NOTE: Delia is our Tuesday Promotion in Motion Guest. Come back then for contest information.

Destiny’s Dream

By Delia Latham

White Rose Publishing

c. 2010

e-book and print ISBN: 978-1-61116-054-1

♦♦♦♦♦Reflections

Delia Latham serves up another sweet romantic winner in book one of the Solomon’s Gate series. From the first time Destiny May meets her hero you won’t want to set this story down. Destiny gives up career and social life to care for her dying mother. At age 31 she finds herself orphaned and single and jobless, except for an independent business idea and the extremely lukewarm support of her brother and sister and community.

Destiny meets her…destiny at her mother’s funeral. When investment broker Clay Gallagher crashes the service, he doesn’t realize he’s in the wrong place until he’s made several disparaging remarks. Destiny has had enough mourning and uses Clay as her means of escape to a much-needed cup of coffee and conversation. From then on it’s a giggle fest in all the wrong places. How Clay and his handsome brother have managed to escape marriage in a small town is a wonder, even after you get to know their delightfully kooky mother.

Destiny’s dream? Oh, just your average run-of-the-mill Christian dating service, named Solomon’s Gate. The customers? You’ll have to read the book to meet them. There’s danger, romance and general mayhem throughout this charming book. Just how much trouble could there be in a small town Christian dating service, anyway? Thank heavens for angels, laughter, and good fun. The next two books in the series are already scheduled for release. The line starts behind me.

I received a copy of this book from the author for review.
