Kari Lynn Lyndell is all grown up at twenty-one but no one sees her as anything but Little Kari Lynn. Her mom keeps her at home and church. Her only outlet for her talented voice is leading worship for her mom the Reverend Tami Lynn Lyndell. She’s never had a date, never been kissed. The one person she’s ever wanted to do both of those things with is Don Bridges, the love of her life. One big problem, he’s fifteen years older than her and sees her as a little kid. Can she get him to see her for who she is; a vibrant and talented woman who is completely in love with him?
Don Bridges is thirty-six and wanting to settle down. But he can’t find that one woman created just for him. Then, Kari Lynn Lyndell walks into his life again. He ran to spare her feelings four years ago when, at sixteen, she told him he was the man she loved and the only one she ever would. Now she’s back with the voice of an angel and a body made for sin. But she’s still too young for him. So why can’t he get her out of his mind? Then comes the message from the Java Cupid. Is the matchmaker serious? Are Don and Kari Lynn a match? How can the Java Cupid be right? Can they overcome such a huge age difference to find their perfect JAVA HARMONY?
George McVey always wanted to be a Superhero, sadly no radioactive storms or animals have been a part of his life. One day while spinning a tall tale for his family, some suggested once again that with all his experiences in ministry and his imagination, he should be writing books. This time it was like lightning struck him and he decided why not?
Since then George has been hard at work using his creative imagination and writing several books. He's still adding to his bibliography to this day. You can find them all on his Amazon.com page.
George lives in the wonderful state of Almost Heaven, West Virginia. A few years ago he moved from a single family home to a deluxe apartment in the sky, well the fourth floor anyway. He lives with his wife of thirty years, and a service dog named Daisy Mae. He is visited often by his three children and two grandsons.
I used to think men could not write romance, until I read a George McVey book. Well, he has made me do my happy dance once again, with Java Harmony. I love this story! George, please bring Don and Kari back for another book. I think you just scratched the surface with them by introducing us readers to them in this book. Now there needs to be another book that delves deeper into their relationship.
I loved the chemistry the couple had, the conflict was real and relatable, and George seemed to bring just enough heat to let us know that this is what real couples experience. There were a couple of sections in the book I reread twice, and when I got to the end, I was sad that it was over. I want more of this couple!
Very enjoyable read. Young woman being severely restricted by her Minister mother wants nothing more than to share her musical talents. A man 15 years her senior has been in her life since she was a small child and can only see her as just that. When they meet again as adults, will he realize her love for him is real and not a young girls crush? Will he be able to get past their age differences? Will she be able to break away from the ties that bind her to her mother? The Java Cupid is on the loose once again leaving messages on coffee cups. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who likes a sweet quick read.
I have grown to expect a bit of a tall take to come out in George McVey's story and he didn't disappoint this time. Java Cupid is in the background for a bit of mystery within the story. I'm hoping the controlling Mom in this book that went way to far will repent and come around in a future book or be treated for a mental illness. I grew up with alcoholics in my family. Java Cupid sounds like a coffee bar with a twist. This is a short "get your mind off bourbon troubles" sort of novel.
I enjoyed Java Harmony. I really did. From the very first page to the last, I was intrigued, engrossed, involved. I was rooting for this couple since Kari was a little girl. I love the chemistry between an older man and younger woman. Plus, I love how McVey portrayed church people on a individual basis and didn't lump all church folk in the same category. It's a wonderful story
