Making Waves at Hampton Beach High by David Smith
133 pages, 4 of 4 reviews are 5-star, Lending Enabled, Young Adult
Just one thing keeps Bucky Stone from being the most popular guy at Hampton Beach High. He excels in sports – hoops and baseball both. He’s tall, well-built, drop-dead hot-looking, with a cute girlfriend and straight A’s. He likes to tease and has a great sense of humor.
The one challenge? Bucky is a new born-again Christian, trying to live for Jesus on a very secular high school campus. He’s got his eye on Lisa, who doesn’t know a thing about his “rules of the road” for following Jesus. He’d like to get into JV baseball, a rough-and-tumble atmosphere for sure. And his enthusiasm for the kingdom of God has fellow students and teachers saying: “What is it with that guy, anyway?”
Angel in the Saloon by Jeanne Marie Leach
242 pages, 2 of 2 reviews are 5-star, Lending Enabled
Upon her mother’s death, twenty-year-old Amelia Jackson must go live with an aunt she didn’t know existed, who owns a saloon in the raucous lumber town of Glory Gulch, Colorado. Amelia, a Christian who is blind, faces the prospect of living in a saloon with doubt and trepidation, and must rely on all her faith to make the new arrangement work.
As her time in Glory Gulch stretches on, old family secrets surface, and Amelia and her aunt are forced to become the family they always were but never knew.
When two lumber men vie for her attentions, her young, inexperienced heart is frayed, and she must rely on her aunt’s advice to try to make sense of it all. As Amelia faces danger, betrayal, and accusations, the only thing she can do is remain strong in her faith in God and trust him to work everything out. Can relationships be healed, hurts forgiven, and anger controlled because of the unwavering beliefs of one Christian refusing to yield under pressure? Or does this rough place get the better of Amelia and send her packing back to an empty life in which she no longer fits? Could she possibly find love the most unlikely place—a saloon?
More Shabby Than Chic by Heather Hunt
208 pages, 1 of 1 reviews are 5-star
Lily Bridgewater has always been just a hair on the wrong side of acceptable. Living in the small, southern town of Manhattan, Georgia, hasn’t helped things, either. But Lily, an interior designer and bargain shopper extraordinaire, is bent on improving her lot in life. When the opportunity arises to bid on the renovation of the city’s Arts Center, she finds herself in the unenviable position of working with the city’s notoriously autocratic mayor, A.C. Anderson.
With his booming voice and relentless work ethic, A.C. is a force to be reckoned with…and a man who has never imagined that a pair of leopard-print T-strap pumps…or the pint-sized woman wearing them with such adorable grace…would bowl him over.
When the two begin to tangle in a series of newspaper editorials, it is clearly more than a battle of the sexes. The question is: Who will survive?
