A Bouquet of Love: An Arrangement of Four Beautiful Novellas about Friendship and Love

"The Wrong Man" by Ginny Aiken finds Brad and Carrie in a comical relationship based on mistaken identity. Carrie is fighting her attraction because Brad has made it clear that he's not looking for a serious relationship. But as they get to know each other, Brad realizes that his plans and God's plans may be slightly different. This is a neat story with good romantic build-up, but the end comes too abruptly. In Renee McCollum's "His Secret Heart," Gwen and Adam have worked next door to each other for years. Adam has a crush on Gwen, but she's only seen him as a "computer geek". Now, that she is developing a relationship with a mystery man from church, she is beginning to see Adam in a different light. Will Gwen choose the man she's never seen? Or the man she is now seeing with new eyes? This is a terrific story about not judging a book by its cover! It inspires me to take a deeper look at the people in my life instead of relying on superficial impressions. Jeri Odell's "Come To My Love" chronicles the tale of Harrison and Korby, childhood friends who are reunited when Harrison is widowed. Korby still sees Harrison with innocent eyes, but Harrison only sees his mistakes and how unworthy he is of Korby's love. Will they overcome the obstacles that face them, or say "goodbye" for good? This is a truly sweet story of how God's plan for our lives doesn't cease to exist because of our detours. It also does a really good job of encouraging the reader in the fact that God still uses broken people. "Cherish" by Deborah White Smith tells the story of Belle and Joe, a married couple in a rut. Belle feels less than cherished, and decides to leave the relationship the same day that she learns they are expecting a child. This is a beautifully told story about forgiveness and making an effort to enhance your relationships beyond flowers and gifts.

This book was great for on the run readers. The novels are short and to the point, but are still genuine and portray a message. I finished the book in two days while traveling. Check this one out!! =)
