An Informal Date (Informal Romance) (Volume 4)

By Heather Gray

Description:

Could two people be more different?

Kimi Fairchild is pursuing an Art Therapy degree while working as a barista at a local hospital. She takes life as it comes and has a smile for everyone who crosses her path. She’s never much cared for schedules, either…until a mysterious man starts showing up at her coffee kiosk every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at exactly 7:05 a.m.

Owen Pratt is a research scientist on the verge of obtaining FDA approval for a new cancer-fighting drug. He has limited people skills, a fondness for caffeine, and a love of strictly kept routines. He’s the antithesis of Kimi in almost every way. Something about her smile, though, keeps bringing him back for more.

How can two such different people go from a shared interest in coffee to a shared future? By getting out of God’s way and letting Him handle the details. Ha! Easier said than done.

Book Takeaway:

Life doesn't always travel in a straight path. Sometimes it takes unexpected turns. When God is the one putting the curves in the road, we need to be brave enough to step out in faith and see where it takes us.

Why the author wrote this book:

For starters, I love coffee. But I also know that people whose actions don't seem dictated by emotion feel things more deeply than most of the rest of us realize. I wanted to explore what would happen if I took someone who is a bit of a free spirit - someone who sees the world in color - and paired her with a man who takes everything literally - who sees the world in black and white.
