A Match for Emma (Mitchell's Crossroads #3) by Pepper D. Basham Reviewed




About the book:

Title: A Match for Emma
Author: Pepper D. Basham
Series: Mitchell's Crossroads BK 3

Emma Mitchell may enjoy sprinkling romance into the lives of others, but her own plans involve a single first-class ticket to culinary school in Europe.

When her best friend, Jon Noble, suddenly moves back to Ransom, Emma’s fairly certain her life can’t get any better…until her matchmaking schemes nosedive, her culinary future falls flat, and a life-long friendship begins to teeter on the brink of something unexpected.

With a little inspiration from Jane Austen’s classic and a touch of Blue Ridge charm, will Jon and Emma discover that what they need the most may be the last thing they’re trying to find?

About Pepper Basham




I wrote my first story when I was a nine year- old, freckled-faced tomboy in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Coming from a long line of oral storytellers, weaving a good yarn seemed a typical part of my life.  It wasn’t until I finished college, had two children, and a full-time job before I began to study the ‘craft’ of writing (you know when I had plenty of time).
So…now I’m an older, freckled-faced mommy enjoying life, learning to write, and laughing often.  My mom says that I must have a small bit of insanity because I don’t realize how stressed I ought to be.
I’m also a speech-language pathologist who spends her time hanging out with kids who have Autism! It’s a challenge and a blessing – and constantly teaches me about the importance of thinking outside the box!
You can get to know me on my website, on my group blog, The Writer’s Alley, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, or Twitter.



My Thoughts:

I have loved every book that Pepper Basham has written, and A Match for Emma is Pepper Basham at her finest! Ms. Basham's tag line is Britallachian romance peppered with grace and humor and each book lives up to that! 

I have never been good at Scrabble but I now have an overwhelming urge to play Scrabble and visit Ransom. 

This is a sweet friends to romance story. Jon and Emma are adorable, their banter is one for the ages. They are both oblivious to what is truly happening between them and Ms. Basham creates captivating situations between them which is just endearing to watch. 

Liam . . . his name alone indicates swoony - yumminess . . . his physical description makes you stop and catch your breath. He is a fabulous secondary character and I hope that he finds his way into his own story . . . SOON!

I have loved each of the books in the Mitchell Crossroads series, but A Match for Emma is my favorite. There are so many fun elements that were woven into the story. Family dinners, the beauty of the Appalachian mountains, Narnia - Emma's cat, Jane Austen quotes, thoughtful advice from Mama Mitchell. All the things that make a family saga novel endearing and memorable.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. I was not required to write a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

ABOUT THE BOOK

An unexpected mother-to-be

A romance-leery composer

And a forgotten melody from the past that holds the keys to their futures.

When Julia Jenkins’ great aunt dies and leaves her a Victorian mansion with decades of secrets, Julia never expects to unearth a World War 2 espionage mystery. Struggling with her own past since an assault left her pregnant, her future as a solo parent leaves her dreams uncertain. The inheritance from her great aunt gives Julia the ability to take a step back into her future, but also sends her into the discovery of a love story she’d never anticipated. Following her aunt’s cryptic journal, Julia uncovers some oddly written piano music with a musical code she can’t decipher on her own. Not to worry, introverted Englishman and composer, Henry Wright, is thrust on the scene by a pair of homespun matchmakers who know the ‘right’ man for Julia’s wounded heart.

Henry arrives in Pleasant Gap with the task of composing the soundtrack for his best mate’s newest film. The Jenkins’ family’s southern welcome and gregarious personalities set his reticent nature on edge, but he’s inexplicably drawn to his gentle and music-loving hostess, Julia. Uncertain how to build a friendship with the wounded woman, and rather hopeless in communicating well through words, the bond of music becomes a bridge between her uncertainty and his awkwardness.

But her broken past and his families’ expectations build a wall much greater than the cultures that separate them. As they work together to solve a musical mystery from the grave, will an unlikely romance from the past inspire their hearts to trust in a God who’s written the perfect melody for their lives?
