Reviews for Dreaming of Her Secret Santa's Kiss: ★★★★★ "This book may be the best book Jessie Gussman has ever written. She perfectly describes the pain, guilt, and shame that so many people have from mistakes they have made in the past. But Jessie also beautifully demonstrates how wonderful and big God is and how nothing is too big or ugly for Him. This book will bring you to tears; both happy and sad. It will remind you that everyone has something in their life to overcome. It also reminds you that everyone is a sinner, but that God can use anyone and everyone for His good." - KKRG ★★★★★ "These are not your typical romance heroes, but their story overflows with God’s love and grace.

Book Description

Ruby Barclay knows she isn’t marrying for love. Love was never the plan. After losing her parents at the age of sixteen and fighting the state for guardianship of her siblings, Ruby is a pragmatist, not a romantic. And Wesley Landry, a fellow surgeon, is her best option for a safe and stable future. That is until she catches him with the florist’s assistant moments before their wedding ceremony. For five years now, Ethan Shuff has watched the love of his life plan her future with another man, a man not even close to worthy of her. Ethan had helped Ruby fight for her siblings. He’d driven her back and forth to med school, then to her residency. He’d only held off on telling her his feelings because she was so determined to have the perfect life, a life he wasn’t sure he could give her as a cowboy working with underprivileged kids on the side. He’d only come to her wedding to close that unrequited chapter of his life for good. But perhaps it wasn’t as unrequited as he thought. Because when Ruby falls into his arms for comfort at the church after Wesley’s betrayal, they both feel something. He can see it in her eyes. So, when she begs him to whisk her away from the wedding on his motorcycle, Ethan is more than happy to oblige. And even as Ruby tries to convince herself she feels nothing for Ethan but friendship, her repeated dreams of him kissing her say otherwise.

Reviews for Dreaming of Her Cowboy's Kiss: ★★★★★ "Ruby was at the church getting married and Ethan was there too, his heart was about to fall out of his chest because the woman he had secretly loved all his life was marrying somebody else. Would something happen before the wedding to change her mind and if so, how would she escape the pain that it caused and who would be right there to take her away and keep her safe?" - KRP ★★★★★ "A person's love for another person can never be as great as God's love for each and every person. But stories about how two people of good character love one another, give me a glimpse of how God loves me, and of how God loves each of us. Ruby's love for Ethan, and Ethan's love for Ruby are that type of a love story." - Old Dog ★★★★★ "Once again, Jessie helps the word of God collide with the real world, and the hopes and dreams we have in our hearts. Ruby has plans to marry Wesley, while a man who loves her watches the woman he's loved since they met prepare to walk to the altar. He stands back because circumstances are insurmountable. Well, they are insurmountable to anyone but God. With God, all things are possible. Truly." - L.Gross ★★★★★ "God's hand was very definitely upon Ethan and Ruby's life. I laughed; cringed; sighed and cried throughout this book. Your amazing storytelling wrapped up so many emotions and happenings together that completely captivated me. Thanks for another fascinating book." - Judi T ★★★★★ "This book is another example of why I love Jessie Gussman and her books. This story had heart and soul as it showed how God works in our life if we let him. That doesn’t mean that everything is sunshine, but you can be sure that God will not give you more than you can bear. He brings peace and joy. Jessie shows this and doesn’t preach. She will enrich you with her stories showing how character can develop along the way." - HiDesert Granny Books in the Cowboy Mountain Christmas series: Dreaming of Her Cowboy's Kiss Dreaming of His Convenient Kiss Dreaming of Her Secret Santa's Kiss Dreaming of His Snowed In Kiss Dreaming of Her Best Friend's Kiss Dreaming of His Pen Pal's Kiss

Book Description

A classic he-said-she-said romantic comedy! This updated anniversary edition offers story-behind-the-story revelations from author Wendelin Van Draanen. The first time she saw him, she flipped. The first time he saw her, he ran. That was the second grade, but not much has changed by the seventh. Juli says: “My Bryce. Still walking around with my first kiss.” He says: “It’s been six years of strategic avoidance and social discomfort.” But in the eighth grade everything gets turned upside down: just as Bryce is thinking that there’s maybe more to Juli than meets the eye, she’s thinking that he’s not quite all he seemed. This is a classic romantic comedy of errors told in alternating chapters by two fresh, funny voices. The updated anniversary edition contains 32 pages of extra backmatter: essays from Wendelin Van Draanen on her sources of inspiration, on the making of the movie of Flipped, on why she’ll never write a sequel, and a selection of the amazing fan mail she’s received. Awards and accolades for Flipped: SLJ Top 100 Children’s Novels of all time IRA-CBC Children’s Choice IRA Teacher’s Choice Honor winner, Judy Lopez Memorial Award/WNBA Winner of the California Young Reader Medal “We flipped over this fantastic book, its gutsy girl Juli and its wise, wonderful ending.” — The Chicago Tribune “Van Draanen has another winner in this eighth-grade ‘he-said, she-said’ romance. A fast, funny, egg-cellent winner.” — SLJ, Starred review “With a charismatic leading lady kids will flip over, a compelling dynamic between the two narrators and a resonant ending, this novel is a great deal larger than the sum of its parts.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred review

Book Description

Meet the Penryns… The Penryn family have always been eccentric—living in a dilapidated castle in the wilds of Cumbria with an orchid-mad father and a classicist mother who likes to re-enact Greek myths, who wouldn’t be? Penniless and proud, Walter Penryn refuses to give up his birthright—until taxes, bills, and the need for a new roof force him to reconsider. Now the family is restoring the castle, and Olivia Penryn is in charge of reviving the once-profitable garden. Nursing a broken heart and a guilty conscience, Olivia longs to lose herself in roses and lavender, but she’s filled with doubt. She’s never handled a project this massive. When Olivia hires the gorgeous Will Turner to help with landscaping, her bruised heart begins to heal—and hope. A widower and father of two, Will has plenty of his own problems. Is he strong enough to take on Olivia’s? As his children become attached to this loving, ethereal beauty, he wonders if their wounded hearts can blossom like the flowers surrounding them—or will hidden secrets and old mistakes cost them a second chance at happiness?

Book Description

A classic work of American literature that has not stopped changing minds and lives since it burst onto the literary scene, The Things They Carried is a ground-breaking meditation on war, memory, imagination, and the redemptive power of storytelling. The Things They Carried depicts the men of Alpha Company: Jimmy Cross, Henry Dobbins, Rat Kiley, Mitchell Sanders, Norman Bowker, Kiowa, and the character Tim O’Brien, who has survived his tour in Vietnam to become a father and writer at the age of forty-three. Taught everywhere—from high school classrooms to graduate seminars in creative writing—it has become required reading for any American and continues to challenge readers in their perceptions of fact and fiction, war and peace, courage and fear and longing. The Things They Carried won France's prestigious Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger and the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize; it was also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
