The Perfect Blend by Trish Perry ~ 5 stars

The Perfect Blend
Trish Perry
The Tea Shop series #1
Harvest House
About the book:
Steph Vandergrift is in need of a job. She left everything behind to elope with Middleburg attorney Rick Manfred, never imagining he would stand her up at the altar. Now, hoping just to get by until she can decide what to do next, Steph thinks she’s found the perfect position at the local tea shop.

Kendall James, one of the kindest and most eligible bachelors in the area, meets Steph and proceeds to pursue her. But by the time Steph feels able to consider dating again, her runaway fiancĂ© returns and tries to win her back. Steph is wary, but she and Rick always seemed to blend so well. Are they truly meant to be together? Maybe God has something else in mind…

My review:
This is such a sweet, heart-warming read! And I loved the witty humor, too! That was a pleasant surprise. However, just because it is sweet doesn’t mean it is fluff. I loved the messages woven into the story about acceptance, relationships, and boundaries. It was all so well done! I can’t wait for the next book in this series!

I won a copy of Trish's book and it was so much fun to read! It's been awhile since I was as young as the heroine in the story but it definitely brought back memories, and gave me a renewed perspective on how my daughter feels at 25. My favorite character was Milly, and I wish I was more like her!

Anne Payne~ Trish DOES have a very fun-to-read style, doesn't she? Milly was awesome, wasn't she? I liked her too. Thanks for commenting!
