Love at first sight. It’s every girl’s dream. But Tara Simpkins is finding out it’s not as easy as it seems. Is this truly the man God sent to be her husband, or is she just desperate to escape her loneliness?

The recent loss of both parents has left her reeling, and close friends don’t think she’s in any position to make major life decisions. She and her new-found love are convinced they can live happily ever after in the home of their dreams.

His family thinks he’s moving way too fast and might disappoint the kind-hearted woman he’s fallen head over heels for. And then there’s Leah. Leah is supposed to be part of his past, but what if she decides she’s his future?

Tara’s match made in Heaven may be over before it truly begins.

excerpt

The doorbell chimed what she termed his signature ring: one long peal, followed by two shorter ones. Saying goodbye might ruin her. Hair patted into place, she opened the door with an unsteady hand.

Andy leaned on the rail, watching the door fling open. The six men who worked with him stood at his side. Silence reigned. They stood there, grinning at her.

Tara couldn’t resist returning the smiles. Their noisy camaraderie while they worked would be missed.

“We’re finished.” Andy watched her closely, as if hoping she’d take the fiftieth chance to make it personal.

A lump formed inside Tara’s throat. “Ahem. Ahem.” No reply croaked out.

The workers’ gazes switched from her to Andy.

Their eyes showed laughter. Their lips were silent.

Tara wanted to sink through the porch.

  1. Excerpt is great, thank you and yes, I believe in love at first sight. That happened with my and my now ex wife.

  2. I believe in love at first site. Sometimes there is just that spark and that chemistry between two people. But a relationship takes hard work and commitment to work. It is a choice to love someone day in and day out.

  3. Love at first sight may happen but I believe it is much better to get to know a person first and pray for God’s will in your relationship and commit it all to him.
