Book two of the Perfect Blend series doesn’t disappoint. I want to wander into Millicent’s tea shop. That appears to be the place where the magic starts for Perry’s characters. The tea shop is a character on it’s on, making you desperately want to hit the back of the book and hit the kitchen. The recipes sound amazing and if I weren’t allergic to gluten I’d be trying out a few of these. I may still try with some gluten free flour. The one I really want to try would be impossible, but it sounds amazing. Malted Chocolate Mousse Cake. Dreaming….. okay I’m back. No, malt for me I’m afraid.

Whether single or married, career girl or stay-at-home mom, today’s Christian woman is faced with daily obstacles. Delight Yourself in the Lord…Even on Bad Hair Days is a devotional filled with upbeat reminders about infusing hope and joy in the Lord as the first step toward conquering life’s problems and chasing down the desires of your heart. Through 100 funny and thought-provoking devotions, the authors remind women to go back to the basics with God. And they even share a few private “bad hair confessions” along the way!
Rachel Stanhope tries to see the good in everyone. But even her good graces are challenged when she meets cocky, hard-news journalist Josh Reegan outside her Arlington, Virginia dance studio on a brisk fall morning in 1951. Their paths intertwine with very little effort on their parts. Between Arlington and New York, between the melodrama of ballroom antics and the real drama of political corruption, between family involvement and romantic entanglement, Rachel and Josh have their hands full. The last thing either of them expects is mutual need and support. But once they stop dancing around the truth, the results are unforgettable.
Sunset Beach has a cabin that Sonny Miller can’t wait to
rent. Her mom has promised her a week anywhere she chooses for her graduation
gift. Sonny has plans for more than relaxing though. What Sonny’s mother
doesn’t know is Sonny is determined to use her new psychology degree to get
answers she’s wanted for years, like who is Sonny’s father?
Sonny has few plans to throw her mom off balance. She’s invited her mom’s
sister, Melanie, to spend the week too--a sister Sonny didn’t know her mom had
until she hired a private investigator. Melanie has a few secrets of her own
about Sonny’s mom and the identity of her father.
Sonny’s mom is on to her though. She knows Sonny is going to want something
from her this week and she’s not going to give her the chance to uncover
secrets. She’s brought along a surprise guest of her own, the charming Irina,
her protégé. She’ll have to spend most of her time working with Irina which
should protect her from Sonny’s prying into her past.
And if that’s not enough, there is a hunk of gorgeous that shows up from
Sonny’s past.
Perry brings this delightfully light, yet serious, book full circle by the end.
I’d recommend it for a beach read or airplane ride. It has enough of a relaxing
setting that you can feel the sand in your toes and yet has plenty of intrigue
to make you turn the pages.
