Plays by the Book

By Carolyn Miller
Plays by the Book by Carolyn Miller digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

When a secure and single librarian gives romance tips from fiction, nothing can go wrong, right?

 

Britta Johnson knows she's ordinary, and she's totally okay with that. She's secure in God, in her purposes on the planet, and romance is something she finds between the pages of a book. She doesn't need that in real life. So when a hockey player asks for advice on how to woo his long-distance girlfriend, she knows her heart is safe. Until it's not.

Mitchell Reilly might be feared on the ice-rink, but even he's intimidated by this little ninja librarian who can whip teenagers into line with a single look. She knows her books too, and seems the perfect candidate to help him find some romantic fictional heroes he can impress his girlfriend with. Until she's not.

As emotions start to blur and fiction gets real they realize that what's started with the best of intentions has changed what they always thought they wanted. And might just be what God wants for them after all.

Plays by the Book is the fifth book in the Northwest Ice series (but can be read as a standalone), perfect for fans of romance with hope, heart and humor.

Plays by the Book Reviews

“You know those books that you pick up and know you will love from the first page? I am yet to read a book from this author that has not had this affect on me. Thoroughly sweet, solid and rich, this story is a delight. I wondered halfway through why the story wasn’t nearly over because it seemed like there was a conclusion nigh, but there were other things to come which built the characters and my affection for them.”
