Ready for a Fun, Funky, Romance-Filled Road Trip This Summer?

by Chautona Havig · Leave a Comment

Author, Amy Anguish, joins me on today's episode to talk about her Roadtrip Romance series, beginning with Destination Romance. I can't wait to read it! via @chautonahavig

In today’s episode, Christian Romance author, Amy Anguish and I talk about her latest release, the first book in her Road Trip Romance series… Destination Romance.

Learn about the three friends who make up this series, the fun stories for each, and what kind of road trip they all go on. You’ll love the fun Anguish has for us (doesn’t that sound fun?  I love her name!)

Ready for a Fun, Funky, Romance-Filled Road Trip This Summer?

I had a delightful chat with Amy about her fun new series, and I was determined to read them all the moment they released. I mean, come on. A “girls only” road trip for a bachelorette party ends up picking up tagalongs and everything goes wonky. We even got a small bit of information about the upcoming books as well.

And the book releases TODAY!

The only thing that concerns me is that it includes my least favorite sport as explained HERE.

But then Amy Anguish lived up to her name…

She mentioned another book… an epistolary novel. I had to read Writing Home.  I just had to.

If you wanted a recipe for a perfect romance, it would include a slow-burn, a friends-to-more element, and deep, rich faith woven into every moment without becoming preachy. And Amy R. Anguish did it. Beautifully.

One of the best parts was that even what should have felt “obvious” didn’t. We know who would do what and how or why in certain places… but we still hold our breaths until it happens, not completely certain. Lovely.

This new-to-me author just landed herself on my insta-buy list with great characters, fun dialogue, and just a host of fun scenarios tied together with the best get-to-know-you letters.

I went into this book knowing I’d like it. I just had no idea that I’d love it as much as I do.

Onto the next!

And yes… I’m going to binge all the books.

Destination Romance Amy AngusihDestination Romance by Amy Anguish

It’s not every day you bring a boyfriend back as a souvenir.

Katie Wilhite is ready to settle into her new job as a librarian now that college is through, but friends Bree and Skye want one more girls’ trip, and when Bree insists this is her bachelorette fling, Katie agrees. What she didn’t agree to was allowing fun and flighty Skye to dictate the itinerary or for her anxiety to kick in harder than ever … right in front of a cute guy.

Camden Malone had no idea when he agreed to be the voice of reason on his cousin Ryan’s vacation that the trip wouldn’t stay in New Orleans as planned. But when Ryan plots with Skye so that the guys can tag along with the girls all week, he isn’t nearly as upset as he should be. Not with Katie’s fiery temper and flashing eyes intriguing him more by the minute.

Can Katie relax enough to trust Camden and a possible future, or will she continue to push him away as only a vacation fling? And can Camden move past a rocky history of his own to be able to jump into a better future? For a trip that was supposed to be all about fun, there’s a lot of romance going around.

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 580: A Chat with R. T. Ward
byChautona Havig

One thing good fantasy often has is the whole “prophecy” angle–and how it affects the folks involved. But what if, in addition to that, you also find out that who you thought you ARE… is all wrong? Listen in as R. T. Ward and I chat about her book, Prophecy Changer.

note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.

The creativity of God’s people never ceaces to astound me, and this conversation was further proof of that.

Prophecy Changer by R. T. Ward

Trauma has taken root in Thea’s soul, leaving behind questions she can no longer silence. When long-buried memories begin to surface, the truth presses in demanding to be seen, felt, and faced.

Adopted by the Mirascan people, Thea has always believed herself to be human. But as fragments of her past return, doubt follows. Drawn by questions she can’t answer and a pull she can’t explain, she steps beyond the only world she has ever known, hoping to uncover who she truly is.

Her search leads her into the unknown and into the path of Ilan. Through him, Thea begins to unravel the lies that shaped her life, awakening a deep ache of anger, betrayal, and grief. What she uncovers changes everything.

Caught in the center of a living prophecy, Thea learns of Creashu, the world of her origin, and the calling placed upon her life. As new gifts awaken within her, she must decide whether she will allow her pain to define her…or refine her.

Determined to pursue truth, forgiveness, and the path set before her, Thea faces a choice that will alter more than her own destiny. The future of two worlds hangs in the balance, and the role she was born to fulfill can no longer be ignored. But becoming a Prophecy Changer was never meant to be easy.

A family legacy so deeply rooted in the soil of Ca A family legacy so deeply rooted in the soil of California's Napa Valley that it stretches back a hundred years.
Avelino Carrillo is home from the Pacific Theater and wounded in more ways than one. Determined to earn back his family's vineyard, despite the underhanded machinations of a local "land baron," his new life home is everything he could've hoped for and nothing like he expected. It's heartache and joy, love and acceptance, and rejection and disdain. As he shares his family's stories with the people living in his family home, he's even more determined to succeed than ever. If not for himself and his family, then for the young woman who has stolen his heart.
Deepest Roots of the Heart is available on Kindle, "free" through Kindle Unlimited, and also as an audiobook narrated by the fabulous Thom Rivera @thomriveraofficial. His ability to flip between accents is astounding.
When Reid decided on "no girlfriends" for his firs When Reid decided on "no girlfriends" for his first year out of prison, he hadn't counted on prayer-singing, guitar-playing nurse Kelsey. Oh, and he hadn't counted on a matchmaking florist (not to mention said florist's obsession with daisies!). When a floral fiasco says all the right things to the right woman at the wrong time, Reid has to decide if his decision was God-directed or if romance was part of His plans all along.
