Book Title: A Match for Emma
Book Author: Pepper Basham
What do you like about this book:
"Did someone order a sidekick?"
Best friends; that's what they had been and that's what they were; but was that what they would remain? Emma Mitchell and Jonathan Noble had been inseparable for years; her two older brothers were Jon's friends, and their adjoining properties made mutual escapades easier than easy. After loss hits both families hard, Jon retreats to New York with his widower father to begin a counseling career and Emma remains behind in Ransom, Virginia; working furiously toward her dream of attending culinary school, while faithfully exercising her favorite past time; looking out for lonely hearts. Will the matchmaker finally meet her match when the Noble-man returns to town?
"I mean, he's a man of course, but he looks like one now, and I didn't think about him being a man when we were arm wrestling over the last piece of pizza. . . . . " Evidently, things have changed a bit since the last time Emma saw Jon Noble. Of course phone calls, texts, Skype visits and digital Scrabble games held a decent dose of allure, but seeing him in Ransom again invokes a rather unexpected visceral reaction. According to Jon, he's only staying until he gets his father re-settled in his childhood home, so Emma determines not to let her heart get involved in a recipe of love.
This witty, clever, engaging story between the best of friends merges the author's abiding fondness for simmering romance, and her deep knowledge of a God who showers grace upon grace; for who among us hasn't committed a multitude of mistakes? It takes Mama Mitchell to remind us that "God's been in the mending business for an awful long time".
And . . . . . . . did someone mention "kissing friends"?
