Why Am I Excited to See This Wonderful Romance Series End?

by Chautona Havig · Leave a Comment

Summer in the Spotlight is available and Liz puts the spotlight on another great summer occupation in this interview. via @chautonahavig

Liz Johnson defies my “romance isn’t really my thing” assertion, and Summer in the Spotlight promises to continue the tradition.  But Summer in the Spotlight has more going for it than just a great story with all the feels.  It’s also the end of the series. It’s a series I actually don’t want to end but… I’m excited. Listen in to see why.

Why Am I Excited to See This Wonderful Romance Series End?

The answer is simple. Because it kind of isn’t ending.  While we were chatting, we got a hint of what’s coming after Summer in the Spotlight, and Liz isn’t leaving PEI or her characters. We’re going to head back over to The Red Door Inn and all our friends there.  And all after a satisfying ending to the wonderful Ross brothers’ series.

Look, I’d just as soon have a bunch more Rosses show up and continue with this series, but since we got a peek at what’s coming up, and since Liz admitted that she has more plans for more Prince Edward Island, well… I’m excited to see it end so we can get those things.

And then if she wants to bring it back, I’ll be even more excited.

Okay, so basically, if Liz writes it, I’m excited to read it.  Sometimes someone’s work just resonates with you. Liz Johnson is one of those people for me.

We had a lovely chat about Proverbs, speaking life into people, and how our immersion in the Word comes out in our writing and in our reading.  Basically, it was a wonderful chat and, I found out that she’s got a group trip planned for next year.

Prince Edward Island here I come! Squeeeeeeee!

Liz Johnson Summer in the SpotlightSummer in the Spotlight by Liz Johnson

A hurricane may have destroyed her livelihood on Prince Edward Island, but she’s determined to save her community.

Kelsey Ahern has performed at the Victoria Playhouse on Prince Edward Island every summer since she was seven. But when a hurricane destroys the building, it’s not just her memories that are in jeopardy. Her future as a teacher and drama coach are too. She teams up with Levi Ross, the facilities director at the high school, to produce a benefit show to raise money to rebuild the theater. He has a reputation for being able to fix anything, and Kelsey is sure there’s more to the quiet man than meets the eye.

For his part, Levi has admired Kelsey for years, but he can’t seem to find the words to tell her. When a popular weatherman arrives in town to cover the aftermath of the hurricane and takes an interest in Kelsey and her show, Levi realizes that the time has come to speak up–or lose the heart of the woman he longs for.

Join New York Times bestselling author Liz Johnson for a season of rebuilding, restoration, and romance with this final book in the Prince Edward Island Shores series.

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 502: A Chat with Kelli Galyean
byChautona Havig

I’m a sucker for a Christmas play novel, and second chances? Listen in to see why I’m eager for Kelli Galyean’s I Know the Feeling. #BecauseChristmas!

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

Don’t we all know someone who doesn’t know when to quit? The shock that comes the one time they could keep pushing… and don’t? Yeah that! OY!

I Know the Feeling by Kelli Galyean

They say timing is everything.

ER Nurse Maddie Reed is barely keeping her head above water at work. She certainly doesn’t have time to take over directing the children’s Christmas play at church. But when the director is put on bedrest at the last minute, Maddie can’t say no. The children are counting on her!

Maddie agrees to step up, prepared for the worst. Turns out “the worst” is worse than she thought. Her new assistant director is Chris Calvert, the most obnoxious man on the planet. To say they have history is an understatement.

Maddie braces for a disastrous month of pranks and shenanigans, but something about Chris is different. Working with him wasn’t supposed to be good, much less great. And when Maddie’s painful past shows up, Chris’ friendship proves steady again and again.

Maddie wrote Chris off a long time ago, but now she wonders. Is it possible to leave behind the old and let something new grow?
