The Perfect Blend (Larger Print Love Inspired #405) [Mass Market Paperback]

Allie Pleiter (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2007

Opening a Christian coffeehouse in Seattle— that was my dream. I wanted to call it Maggie Black's Higher Grounds.

So when banker William Grey III denied my loan, I was crushed. But then Mr. Grey (who's a tea drinker—figures!) explained that if I took his small-business course, the bank might reconsider my application. It would take the help of some of my fab coffee, but I was sure I could stay awake long enough to learn something. Besides, despite Grey's stuffy facade, his velvety British accent could make even financial analysis sound interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite books!, June 29, 2009

This review is from: The Perfect Blend (Love Inspired #405) (Mass Market Paperback)

It is fitting that I would love this book, because I love all things coffee. I love reading Christian romance novels because I know I won't have to endure unnecessary, inappropriate content. And I know there will be a good message. The Perfect Blend had all of it - ambitions, discovery, love, and a positive message. And coffee of course! I admire Maggie's dream of opening a Christian coffeehouse...and I found it funny because we used to have a place called Higher Grounds where I live. I thought Maggie and Will made a great connection and were absolutely perfect for each other. The book is inspiring and encouraging. I've read it three times and will be sure to read it on several more occasions.

Fantastic book! I love the characters, the sparring yet stimulating kind of conversations they get into; the introduction to Rugby was excellent, and quite a kick! I really, really love these two. And though I am not particularly actively a christian, if a 'love inspired' sounds good enough, I give them a try. I especially enjoy catching the passion the heroine has for sharing her message, and how she wants to do it. I love the book!
The serious banker guy is really cute. There's something very hot about him.

I liked this book so much I couldn't put it down. The plot is very good where Maggie is trying to get a loan to open a coffeehouse. She has to take a course so she can get the loan and ends up falling for her loan officer. I think it was the cover that got me to buy this book. I reccommend it to anyone who likes coffee.
