TAILOR MADE

This week, the



Christian Fiction Blog Alliance



is introducing



A Tailor-Made Bride



Bethany House (June 1, 2010)



by



Karen Witemeyer






ABOUT THE AUTHOR:




Karen Witemeyer is a deacon's wife and mother of three who believes the world needs more happily-ever-afters. To that end, she combines her love of bygone eras with her passion for helping women mature in Christ to craft historical romance novels that lift the spirit and nurture the soul.



After growing up in California, Karen moved to Texas to attend Abilene Christian University where she earned bachelor and master's degrees in Psychology. It was also there that she met and married her own Texas hero. He roped her in good, for she has lived in Texas ever since. In fact, she fell so in love with this rugged land of sweeping sunsets and enduring pioneer spirit, that she incorporates it into the pages of her novels, setting her stories in the small towns of a state that burgeoned into greatness in the mid-to-late 1800s.



In January, 2009, Karen signed a contract with Bethany House Publishers for three inspirational historical romance novels, and she is thrilled to announce that her first book, A TAILOR-MADE BRIDE has released this month.

ABOUT THE BOOK








When a dressmaker who values beauty tangles with a liveryman who condemns vanity, the sparks begin to fly!



Jericho "J.T." Tucker wants nothing to do with the new dressmaker in Coventry, Texas. He's all too familiar with her kind--shallow women more devoted to fashion than true beauty. Yet, except for her well-tailored clothes, this seamstress is not at all what he expected.



Hannah Richards is confounded by the man who runs the livery. The unsmiling fellow riles her with his arrogant assumptions and gruff manner, while at the same time stirring her heart with unexpected acts of kindness. Which side of Jericho Tucker reflects the real man?



When Hannah decides to help Jericho's sister catch a beau--leading to consequences neither could have foreseen--will Jericho and Hannah find a way to bridge the gap between them?

My Review: Take a livery man who wants a piece of property in the town he has lived in, enter a dressmaker who inherits the property from her former employer. Add to it that he thinks all dress finery is nothing but a way for people to try and be better than each other in church. The sparks, and humor fly as Hannah begins her business in Coventry, especially when J.T.'s sister comes to Hannah for a dress. Don't miss this one it is a perfect summer read! I highly recommend it! I also give this book a lighthouse and shine a light on it for pointing a path to God
