My two munchkins who provide me with first hand experience of how two very different people who drive each other crazy can still be the best of friends.
My hubby for listening to me during all the moments I stressed out over this story and for being everything I’m not—because that’s exactly what I need.
If you enjoyed spending time with these characters, be sure to read about Ashlynn’s story in Straight to You, the first book in the Taking Chances series (available on Amazon.com):
Wanted: A modern knight in shining armor
(white horse optional)
Young, sweet and naive, Ashlynn Peters is ever the optimist when it comes to love, but even she is surprised when she crosses paths with a real life Prince Charming. Jeremy Adams, her childhood crush, is back in town. He is even more sweet and handsome than she remembers, and also much more intriguing than any man she’s dated before.
Ashlynn finds herself falling hard for Jeremy, only to discover that he may not be the perfect guy she thinks he is. Will she make the choice to look past Jeremy’s tarnished armor or will she give up her chances of ever reaching happily ever after?
Inspired by the author’s own love story, this romantic novella will have you laughing, dreaming, and wondering if fairy tales really do come true.
Also, read about Melanie’s story in True To You, the second book in the Taking Chances series (available on Amazon.com):
Wanted: A man with the four C’s (Chinese, Christian, Cash and Career).
Ability to cure hives a definite plus.
Melanie Koo may be a physician skilled in helping others, but the one thing she can’t fix is her own love life. That’s why her mother comes up with the perfect remedy—an arranged marriage. Being the dutiful daughter that she is, she agrees to this loveless match … until a chance meeting leads her straight to the cure for her hopeless heart.
Ben Peters is everything Melanie was not looking for in a guy, but she can’t help but be drawn to his passionate and kind nature and, not to mention, those adorable dimples. For once in her life, she considers breaking parental expectations to go after what she wants. The only thing standing in her way is a five foot one traditional Chinese mother and her scheming ways.
Now Melanie has to make the biggest decision of her life. Will she stay true to her family or will she choose to believe that true love can be colorblind?
