Don't Tell Anyone I Read Romance

By Annilee Nelson

Description:

Edmund Bennett loves books and literature. Words and stories are his thing. They're his place to be an expert. That being said, there are some stories, such as romances, which he deems to be drivel. To him, romances are fanciful pieces of fluff that aren't worth his time to read, and happily ever afters are the stuff of fairytales, not the real world.

Ava Johnston has always loved romances. Over the course of her life, she has spent countless hours envisioning romantic settings and scenes. Now that she's all grown up, she gets paid to write down those daydreams in book form. To her, a happily ever after is as delicious as chocolate and a life goal to be achieved.

Unfortunately, creating her own happily ever after is not as easy as writing them. Romantic heroes do not always behave as expected, and secrets can complicate things, leaving Ava to wonder if her real-life love story will reach it's desired ending or if Eddie is right after all and happily ever afters are just the work of make-believe.

Book Takeaway:

Ephesians 2:10 says "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (NIV) We have each been uniquely designed by God for the purpose of showing His love and goodness to others. We each have to learn how to fill that place in which God has put us to the full. And sometimes, we need the help of those who love us to do it.

Why the author wrote this book:

This book is part of a series of books about people attempting to live their lives in a way that pleases God as they find love. The main characters in this book are young and still really discovering who they are and learning to boldly stand out as that person. That's not easy to do - especially when you know you'll face criticism and/or you tend to be reserved and hate to be wrong.
