What’s Better Than the Heroine Rescuing the Hero?

by Chautona Havig · Leave a Comment

No Matter How Far by Sara Beth Williams is the seventh book in the Trinity Lakes Series. Listen in to learn more about this series! via @chautonahavig

It’s always a lot of fun to chat with Sara Beth Williams, so I was glad to have a bit of time with her to learn about her new book, No Matter How Far.  Part of the Trinity Lakes Series, this book promises to be a lot of fun. Listen in to see why.

What’s Better Than the Heroine Rescuing the Hero?

Not much in my opinion!  I love the premise for this series, and I can’t wait to check them out. I’ll probably start with Sara Beth’s book, because the idea of a Theology and Biblical Studies professor sounds like a lot of fun.  Add to that students and ethics, and search and rescue… what’s not to love?

The series is supposed to have fun, quirky characters, and we all know how much I love those. With seven books out and three available for preorder, this series is perfect for binge readers, and I hope lovers of contemporary, small-town Christian romance will give them a look-see!

No Matter How Far Sara Beth WilliamsNo Matter How Far by Sara Beth Williams

He ran away to escape his fear. She faces her fear every day.

After the death of his late wife, associate professor Dylan Mackay never thought he’d fall for another woman, until the stubborn and beautiful Jocelyn rescues him from a ski slope—though he needed no such rescuing. The blissful whirlwind week spent together at Trinity Lakes Ski Resort is one of the happiest in recent memory.

After a messy breakup followed by her parents’ sudden divorce, local Trinity Lakes paramedic Jocelyn Monroe had sworn off dating, until she is forced to rescue an injured Australian against his will while volunteering for the mountain ski patrol. Dylan is stubborn, handsome, intelligent, and honorable, with a swoony Aussie accent to boot and she finds herself falling head over heels before the week is out.

Once down the mountain, the spontaneity and carelessness of their rushed relationship comes full circle in devastating blows. Each one grapples with life-altering decisions that would result in moving out of Trinity Lakes—her a short distance away, him across the world. Neither one wants to leave the other, nor do they want to leave the charming town itself. Can they lean on God and trust that He will hold onto them no matter how far they go?

A second chance, opposites attract, small-town Contemporary Christian romance.

Visit Trinity Lakes and meet the fun and quirky characters who value family, faith, and happily ever after.

Episode 514: A Chat with Deborah Clack
byChautona Havig

Oh, my. When I learned about the awkward heroine in Even After This, I knew that I needed to chat more with Deborah Clack and get the scoop on what’s coming in this book. Listen in to learn why she had me cracking up through the interview.

Don’t miss out on this second chance (in life) romance as well as Deborah’s Love Inspired marriage of convenience romance as well!

Even After This by Deborah Clack

When you’re ready to live again, love often has a way of finding you. Four years after tragedy, Meredith Harper is tired of hiding in her corner of Texas and living life like a game of dodgeball. She packs up her grief, awkward social graces, and sizable life insurance in search of a vacation and investment property in Colorado Springs. A botched dinner reservation throws her into the path of a bona fide movie star, and Meredith pushes through her comical celebrity neurosis to discover he is charming but a terrible dancer. A viral video of a daring rescue makes Harlan Holcombe’s celebrity star stronger, with millions of his fans deeming him a real-life Hercules. But a minute of heroism doesn’t absolve his past mistakes. As Harlan and Meredith spend more time together, he helps her believe there might be more for her not just in life but in love. And she might be part of the solution to restore the legacy he fears is tarnished. But what happens when the path to redeem his mistakes collides with the path to redeem her loss? A poignant and humorous contemporary romance of second chances with swoon but no spice, grief and healing, celebrity meets reluctant widow, love after loss, and new beginnings. This clean and wholesome love story will delight fans of Abby Jimenez, Katherine Center, Annabel Monaghan, and Cara Bastone.
