The drought has ended. It may turn out to be a sprinkle rather than a downpour but we will take it.

BookBub has a FREE suggestion with an author we’ve not had the pleasure of experiencing. Reading the first few pages, it is engaging and makes me want to read on to see what comes next.

Many excellent authors use FREE as a incentive to hook you into reading more of their stories and I’m happy to take advantage of the offer. This one has an extremely short effective period, one day, if I read it right. I’m going for it.

Outside of Grace 

Ava Sanford longs to be known as more than the pastor’s kid. When the opportunity arises to study abroad in Scotland, she jumps at the chance to leave the Texas coast and the pressures of Grace Church behind. But she never meant to leave God, too.

Her roommate’s partying lifestyle promises the fun Ava has been missing out on—until a traumatic assault leaves her faith and pride in ruins. As her life in Scotland begins to crumble, rumors race back home, threatening her relationships with her family and friends, including Jack Shields.

A former athlete, Jack keeps his head down, working through college and coasting through life. After losing both his mother and his scholarships, he knows the things you love can disappear at any moment. But when his best friend seems to be next, the nonchalance and security he carefully guards are broken. Fighting for Ava will mean risking it all, and he can’t do it alone. Only God can show them both how far grace can go.

Definitely a sprinkle. We have just one book this time and I don’t know about you but that is enough for me. I’m still working on the deluge we had a week ago.

Currently I’m half way through book 6 in a 10 book box set.

200+ pages each so it takes a good chunk of enjoyable time. The ratings are excellent too for this easy read.

The common thread seems to be a letter advising of the recipient of an inheritance of a billion dollars. The great pressure is the requirement of marriage within six months. Not an easy hurdle to cross for all of them. The pressure is on too because most of them have deep financial needs and this money would be the perfect solution to a precarious situation.
