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.

Episode 564: A Chat with Sheri A. Bradley
byChautona Havig

If you love fantasy and allegory as much as I do, The Chosen One might just be the book for you. Listen in as I chat with Sheri Bradley about her novel and all that went into it.

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

I had a lovely time chatting about the world Sheri has created. I haven’t read the book yet but that will be rectified posthaste.

The Chosen One by Sheri Bradley

Before Bara was born, a royal decree sealed her destiny: she would one day marry the prince and reign as queen. But as years pass without a word from the palace, doubt creeps in. When betrayal strikes and Bara is torn from her home in a violent abduction, her world spirals into chaos.

Amid shadowed forests, whispered secrets, and a priceless sapphire that holds the promise of a future, Bara faces the ultimate question-does she truly have a choice, or has her path been written all along?

The Chosen One is a sweeping allegory of love, sacrifice, and redemption, inviting readers to wrestle with the tension between free will and destiny. Will Bara embrace the role she was created for, or forge her own way in defiance of the king’s plan?
