Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2000

Meredith Graham's job as a children's book acquisitions editor takes her to Glenbrooke, Oregon, where she meets the only man who has ever made her heart leap: Jacob Wilde. Trouble is, his heart doesn't seem to be leaping in response to hers. But then, Jake's a movie star. Out of her league. Still, she can't get him out of her mind. So when circumstances continue to throw the two of them together, Meri decides to pull out all the stops to win her "dream man" -- but all of her schemes can't prepare her for what happens when they meet again in this bestselling former Palisades release, now book six in the new Glenbrooke series by award-winning author Robin Jones Gunn.

Fun-loving Meri Graham has never met her match… until now?

Meredith’s trip to Glenbrooke , Oregon , takes a decidedly interesting turn when she finds herself sharing a picnic with a man who makes her heart beat in triple time. Pretty, spunky, Meri has never had a problem holding her own with attractive men. But when she discovers her picnic partner is movie star Jacob Wilde, she loses her characteristic cool, puts her foot in her mouth, and ruins everything!

The next time she meets Jacob, the tables are turned. He’s written some children’s books and wants her company to publish them. As acquisitions editor, Meri’s the woman he needs to impress. She’s more than willing to let him work at it.

When Meri lands an unexpected walk-on role in a film, Jacob finally begins to see her in a different light—and discovers what it feels like to be starstruck himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another good book by Robin Jones Gunn, February 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Waterfalls (Glenbrooke, Book 6) (Paperback)

I must say that I am quite impressed with all the books written by R.J.G. Waterfalls is another sweet romance with a lot of spiritual truths to bless the reader. One of the major themes in the book, involves the obsession we have with movie stars. We live in a world where Hollywood actors are our heroes and we fail to realize that they are no different us and have as many faults as we do. Instead, the characters in Waterfalls allow us to look beyond that, at the true character of a person's heart and whether God exists in them or not. I also loved the dialogue between the characters. The books by R.B.J are also entertaining and the very best of contemporary fiction that I have read. I have the whole Glenbrook series collection. I also have the Christy Miller and Sierra Jensen books. Although, these are recommended for younger readers, I still find them entertaining and worth a good read. These books teach you a lot about life.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXECELLENT!, January 19, 2000

This review is from: Waterfalls (Glenbrooke, Book 6) (Paperback)

This is the best book I have ever read! Robin's books just keep getting better and better! I love to laugh and when reading a book it doesn't happen to often. This book made me laugh right out loud! Even though I had people looking at me like I was crazy I was completly content to sit and keep reading this book. I couldn't put it down! I know I must have gotten negative hours of sleep due to not wanting to put this book down. As you can see I strongly advise each and every person to read this book. It has a soft romance but also includes and awesome God that you can come right out and talk to. Most books make God look like a far off figure but this book showed that God is right there waiting for you to talk to Him.

5.0 out of 5 stars The funniest and most amazing romance novel you'll ever read, June 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Waterfalls (Glenbrooke, Book 6) (Paperback)

Robin Jones Gunn is my favorite author and everything she writes is exceptional! I was extremely excited to find that each of her book's characters tie in with each other, they don't isolate themselves to a specific book.

Her characters never cease to amaze me with how real they seem and how intune their everyday lives are with ours. Her books give you hope, and when you read them you suddenly begin to realize, "Yeah, I've been in this situation." And "Hey, this is really what happens in life." She doesn't have false, perfect characters whose lives and standards can't be lived up to, no on the contrary, her characters face the same problems we face in everyday life and make the same mistakes we make. But, instead of hard-luck stories without hope of ever finding the way out of situations, Robin writes of the ultimate love and healing that God gives to His children when they seek Him and admit their mistakes. With this in mind, I can honestly tell you that all of her books are winners and none of them have ever had reason for disappointment. Waterfalls is by far on the top five list of books she wrote. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard while reading a book. Robin combines all the elements of humor, romance, and a personal relationship with God, the latter of which is so very important. You have to understand that romance is a wonderful gift from God and that trusting in Him and following His will will always have the best ending results.
