The Best-Laid Plans

When injury ended her dance career, Jessica Holiday became a landscape designer. A society wedding offered her the chance to make a name for herself, and she vowed to get the job done without help from anyone -- especially handsome newcomer Captain Andrew Keegan.

His neighbor might be beautiful, even up to her elbows in dirt, but Drew Keegan had to keep God's plan in sight -- marriage to the socialite of his father's choosing would enable him to help those who needed it most. But when Jessica's designs were jeopardized, Drew began to see his goal -- and Jessica -- in a new light . . .

More About the Author

Mae Nunn grew up in Houston and completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Texas in Austin. She was content to spend her life in the Lone Star State, but God had other plans. In 1989 Mae met Michael, a transplanted Englishman living in Atlanta and Mae hung up her spurs to become a southern belle.

When she began working on her first novel a dozen years ago Mae promised her mother not to write anything that would be offensive. Once again, God interceded because He wanted Mae's stories to be much more than simply acceptable. He wanted them to be pleasing in His sight. Surrendering to the call on her writing, Mae's promise to her mother evolved into a much larger mission to glorify God with her work.

Since 2003 Mae has been contracted for eight Love Inspired novels and in September of 2008 she was blessed to be able to retire after thirty years in the air express industry and is now a full time writer! When asked how Mae feels about being a published author in the Christian fiction market she summed it up by simply saying "Yeeeee Ha!"

I cannot tell you enough how much I enjoyed Mrs. Nunn's book. I have already bought her second one SEALED WITH A KISS and plan on starting it tomorrow! (I read HEARTS IN BLOOM in two days!) What fun to have a flawed hero and heroine who learn more about themselves, each other, their Faith, and their dreams in life in one book which keeps your attention throughout! Pick it up and you won't want to put it down! Loved it! One of my all time favorites!

This book was my first by Mae Nunn and I must say I was really impressed. I really liked the way the author portrayed the characters like "real" people. They were human in the way they acted and they weren't perfect in their looks or anything. I liked that a lot. It was so romantic and definitely left you smiling at the end, wishing for more. I wasn't ready to put it down when I got to the end, but I was certainly satisfied with the story overall. I completely suggest this book to anyone looking for a good inspirational romance. You'll love it!
