I was not engaged or pulled in. I wanted it to be over.
This is Christian Romance or Inspirational Romance. I did not know that. There was nothing on the cover or inside to tell me that. It’s not a genre for me.
The story is too cloying/sweet. An incompetent new boss arrives and fires Paige. She makes a list of her goals and dreams: move into a house, plant a garden, get a pet, etc. She then thinks “God will start moving beside me to help me make this transition.” Within a few minutes her father a ...more

An absolute joy to read! I have actually read it twice! Romance can be so much fun!!
This is a book about endings and beginnings. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series! Highly recommend!

She suffers a hard blow when she is let go from her position because while it is her job she is so invested it is way more to her. On that same day she literall

This contemporary romantic fiction combines the story of job loss with personal rediscovery for the heroine, Paige. The author touches on some issues of programs and services for people with developmental disabilities as a backdrop for a family secret that Paige uncovers and must unravel. The handsome Joshua has great softer side qualities as well as making the important business decisions that need to be dealt with before the lives of the people he serves are in greater danger. Enjoyed it.
I loved the book. A quick read, but a great story. Working with special needs people is a challenge and this book reveals some of the challenges people go through in their lives. Paige is a true person who really believes in what she does. She deserved to find someone as caring as Josh to be part of her life. It is a real feel good story and I enjoyed reading it.

Paige has to figure out what to do next in her life because the job she loved is gone. What will she do when she learns that her rescuer is the new owner at her old workplace? And that he has put someone she cares about at risk? This is the first published in a series of three Starting Over books, but stands alone. As the author I don't think I am supposed to rate it, though.

Amazing book, I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series. It is very easy to relate to Paige as she navigates through her journey of set backs and blessings. Both inspiring and entertaining, very enjoyable story.

I was 14 when the editor of our church's publishing house taught a journalism class at church camp. My Dad took the photos, so it was easy to write and illustrate an article about an event that week. The editor added in excerpts from the other kids in the class and my first article was accepted for publication. Through the next four years, eleven more were published. I had encountered my dream - t

“I think we choose who we are and what we do about life events. Paige, isn't that what you've been doing since Kevin threw you out of the company? You've been stepping out in faith, trusting God to help you make your own life. Working at life is what matters most. What we do for a living is a component. Where we come from, who's in our lives, our families, our pets, and the people we decide we want to grow old with are all about life, but we make our own choices and build from the materials we've been given.”

“The cold bowl felt good. She'd been huddled up and crying for so long she was almost feverish. Paige took a spoonful, turned it into her mouth with the metal spoon against its roof so her tongue could capture every single drop of rich chocolate as it melted away. Good flavors and good feelings followed. She closed her eyes. Ah, comfort food. It really did its job. Paige spooned up another bite, slow and deliberate, making it last.”
