Summary
Katie Dettinger didn’t expect to be a single mom。 Didn’t expect to have her husband cheat and leave。 Didn’t think she’d be alone raising her kids。
But she is。 And it’s harder than she thought。 There’s never enough time， never enough money and now she’s lost her job and might be losing her house。
When the Piece Makers come to her with a plan， she doesn’t have much choice but to go along with it， as much as she might not want to。
Flynn Powers is the quiet one。 Steady。 Never steps out of line。 Is completely dependable and never does anything on the spur of the moment。
Except get married。
Katie and he had been best friends back in the day。 How could he not help her out， even if it means a lifetime commitment？And， maybe， if she remembers that she can trust him and depend on him， what they have could grow into more。

A beautiful story。It looks like the Piece Makers are at it again。 In this tale it is a single mom Katie Lessing and a quiet cowboy Flynn Powers who are their intended target。 This heartwarming tale was full of real ups and downs for the couple who are entering into a marriage of convince。 Yet like all of Jessie’s work God has a plan for them。 Beautifully written with such heart this was a wonderful book to read and I am so glad I got the chance。 I did receive a free copy of this book and volunta A beautiful story。It looks like the Piece Makers are at it again。 In this tale it is a single mom Katie Lessing and a quiet cowboy Flynn Powers who are their intended target。 This heartwarming tale was full of real ups and downs for the couple who are entering into a marriage of convince。 Yet like all of Jessie’s work God has a plan for them。 Beautifully written with such heart this was a wonderful book to read and I am so glad I got the chance。 I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it。 。。。more

Really Great Christain Series I absolutely loved Katie and Flynn's story。 I had been waiting for Katie's story and Jessie Gussman didn't disappoint。 Flynn was such a good match for her。 I love how Jessie shows God's love and the couples faith when making decisions about their life and finding love。 These stories make me think and always leave me with a smile。 Really Great Christain Series I absolutely loved Katie and Flynn's story。 I had been waiting for Katie's story and Jessie Gussman didn't disappoint。 Flynn was such a good match for her。 I love how Jessie shows God's love and the couples faith when making decisions about their life and finding love。 These stories make me think and always leave me with a smile。 。。。more

Flynn and Katie’s story will resonate with many readers。 The pain of divorce is never easy to overcome and the questions left behind are not easily answered。 Some answers can be found through introspection and counselling while others may never be answered。 This book illustrates a need to seek God’s guidance and to allow faith to bring forgiveness and to show a way forward after divorce。 Flynn may not have been Katie’s first choice for a husband in what was supposed to be a marriage of convenien Flynn and Katie’s story will resonate with many readers。 The pain of divorce is never easy to overcome and the questions left behind are not easily answered。 Some answers can be found through introspection and counselling while others may never be answered。 This book illustrates a need to seek God’s guidance and to allow faith to bring forgiveness and to show a way forward after divorce。 Flynn may not have been Katie’s first choice for a husband in what was supposed to be a marriage of convenience， but he did turn out to be the best choice。 Even before they married he showed that he understood that even if love was not involved in their marriage at first， he was willing to put in the work needed to makes sure it would last and be of benefit to God as well as themselves。 He told her that couples who are friends before turning into lovers have an advantage over couples who were not。 They know each other better， they see the person before the lens of love may distort their view and friendship sets a solid foundation to build upon。 Marriage doesn’t necessarily start with love， but mutual respect and trust， putting the needs of the other before your own， and being willing to sacrifice， compromise and communicate are all part of a successful relationship。 Flynn showed by example that he was willing to work hard to be a good husband and a father figure to her three children。 The Piece Makers have another successful match to add to their list。 I must admit that Charlene’s kissing schedule is both funny and ingenious。 Katie and Flynn were certainly eager to follow it。 This story is both inspiring and heartwarming， another book to be read again and again。 I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review。 。。。more

I had been waiting to read this story after she was introduced in Cowboy falling hard。 Katie to me is somewhat a saint， though I could see her struggle to be what God expected of her。 I saw what we ideally should do， but often aren't able to - show grace to an undeserving person - because we are hurt， or have hit the upper threshold of our ability to stomach toxicity。 I sometimes felt like jumping into the story to do some defending， but thank goodness it got done。 Ms。 Gussmans's books challenge I had been waiting to read this story after she was introduced in Cowboy falling hard。 Katie to me is somewhat a saint， though I could see her struggle to be what God expected of her。 I saw what we ideally should do， but often aren't able to - show grace to an undeserving person - because we are hurt， or have hit the upper threshold of our ability to stomach toxicity。 I sometimes felt like jumping into the story to do some defending， but thank goodness it got done。 Ms。 Gussmans's books challenges us to be better people， choosing the not easy， but ultimately best option when dealing with issues。It's a really good read especially for lovers of Christian fiction。I received an ARC and voluntarily leaving my honest review。 。。。more

I absolutely loved this book！ Another great book by master storyteller， Jessie Gussman， whose words have a way of making a story come to life。 A book that is faith filled， enjoyable， thought provoking and just makes you feel closer to God。 The characters are well developed and you get a good backstory on them。 The storyline holds your interest and keeps you turning pages throughout the whole book。 I cannot recommend this book and series enough。 I've loved every book in this fantastic series。 I r I absolutely loved this book！ Another great book by master storyteller， Jessie Gussman， whose words have a way of making a story come to life。 A book that is faith filled， enjoyable， thought provoking and just makes you feel closer to God。 The characters are well developed and you get a good backstory on them。 The storyline holds your interest and keeps you turning pages throughout the whole book。 I cannot recommend this book and series enough。 I've loved every book in this fantastic series。 I received an ARC for this book and was told I didn't have to leave a review， but I chose to anyway。 This review is my honest and unbiased opinion。 。。。more

I have been hoping that Katie would get her own story， and here it is。 Struggling single mom Katie accepts a marriage of convenience。 I think that the minister's short homily on marriage is one of the best explanations of true Christian marriage that I have ever read。 The book is worth buying just to read those words in Chapter 12。 And you will love the groom's gift to his bride！ I received an ARC of this book， but this review is my honest opinion。 I have been hoping that Katie would get her own story， and here it is。 Struggling single mom Katie accepts a marriage of convenience。 I think that the minister's short homily on marriage is one of the best explanations of true Christian marriage that I have ever read。 The book is worth buying just to read those words in Chapter 12。 And you will love the groom's gift to his bride！ I received an ARC of this book， but this review is my honest opinion。 。。。more

The piece makers are at it again。 To bring a single mom， behind on bills。 Sorry ex husband， doesn’t pay child support except when h gets around to it。 Kate and Flynn are set up by the piece makers。 Flynn is very organized whereas Kate is the opposite。 Flynn is very OCD with everything in his life。 Kate is trying just to raise 3 young children， just trying to survive。 Yes I recommend this book。

The Piece Makers have pushed the boundaries again by arranging a marriage of convenience complete with a kissing schedule。 If you need instructions please contact Miss Charlene！ This is such a great book with marriage tips that are relevant to any relationship。 This was so well written， I found it difficult to put down。

I love this story。 Throughout the rest of the series， I have felt so bad for Katie。 Her cheating husband left her with three children and no way to support herself except waitressing at the local diner。 When the Piece Makers invite Katie to the church， she is stunned when they have Maverick and Flynn there and want her to choose one of them for a marriage of convenience that will eventually become a lifelong marriage。 I love the characters in this book。 Flynn is an amazing Christian and he and K I love this story。 Throughout the rest of the series， I have felt so bad for Katie。 Her cheating husband left her with three children and no way to support herself except waitressing at the local diner。 When the Piece Makers invite Katie to the church， she is stunned when they have Maverick and Flynn there and want her to choose one of them for a marriage of convenience that will eventually become a lifelong marriage。 I love the characters in this book。 Flynn is an amazing Christian and he and Katie work together to put the past behind them and begin a new chapter together。 Jessie Gussman is so great at preaching a sermon through her characters conversations。 。。。more

“Marriage of convenience” may be my favorite romance trope， and nobody does it better than Jessie Gussman—this being a prime example！ Five reasons why I loved this book:1） Though the idea is strange to them at first， Katie and Flynn exhibit their Godly character by how they approach the situation—with a desire to follow God’s leading and Biblical principles。 2） The pastor’s marriage counseling session was spot on。3） Miss Charlene’s “Kissing Schedule” was a wonderful， fun addition。4） Flynn gives “Marriage of convenience” may be my favorite romance trope， and nobody does it better than Jessie Gussman—this being a prime example！ Five reasons why I loved this book:1） Though the idea is strange to them at first， Katie and Flynn exhibit their Godly character by how they approach the situation—with a desire to follow God’s leading and Biblical principles。 2） The pastor’s marriage counseling session was spot on。3） Miss Charlene’s “Kissing Schedule” was a wonderful， fun addition。4） Flynn gives Katie unique but perfect wedding presents。5） As always， it is a clean， fun， and heartwarming read that challenges and inspires！ I received an advance reader copy of this book。 The opinions expressed in this voluntary review are my own。 。。。more

This was such a sweet story。 I love reading Jessie's books。 We have heard about Katie in several other books in this series。 She has had a rough road with a cheating husband。 Her divorce is finally final and she has reached the end of her rope。 Once again the Piece Makers come to the rescue。 They do a great job of helping Katie in her problems。 Not only is this a great story with a clean， sweet romance but I also think it has a lot of guidance for life。 Great Christian message too。 This was such a sweet story。 I love reading Jessie's books。 We have heard about Katie in several other books in this series。 She has had a rough road with a cheating husband。 Her divorce is finally final and she has reached the end of her rope。 Once again the Piece Makers come to the rescue。 They do a great job of helping Katie in her problems。 Not only is this a great story with a clean， sweet romance but I also think it has a lot of guidance for life。 Great Christian message too。 。。。more

Another wonderfully inspirational story。 I just love how Jessie brings so many biblical teachings in currently applicable situations that are just wrapped up in a gorgeous romance。 Katie and Flynn’s story is so enjoyable and is a must read。 There is so much love displayed with many reminders for us of God’s eternal love given to us。 Absolutely loved it。I received a free copy of this book and this is my voluntary， honest review。

This book is a stand-alone， but we met Katie in an earlier story。 Knowing what she’s been through， she really deserved someone special and a genuine HEA！ The author wove together a delightful story that kept the pages turning。 Flynn and Katie are a wonderful pair。 You’ll love reading about the melding of their lives！

This is such a sweet story as the Piece Makers step in again to rescue Katie Dettinger as she is on the verge of losing her home。 She's been through a lot in the last year- she found out her husband was cheating on her and she's filed for a divorce。 She had no skills to get a job except as a waitress which didn't pay enough to cover all her expenses。 Her ex-husband had convinced the judge that she wasn't letting him see his kids so the judge awarded her minimal child support。 Now she's raising h This is such a sweet story as the Piece Makers step in again to rescue Katie Dettinger as she is on the verge of losing her home。 She's been through a lot in the last year- she found out her husband was cheating on her and she's filed for a divorce。 She had no skills to get a job except as a waitress which didn't pay enough to cover all her expenses。 Her ex-husband had convinced the judge that she wasn't letting him see his kids so the judge awarded her minimal child support。 Now she's raising her children as a single mom and her daughter is acting out in school。 She feels like a failure and that everyone thinks it was her fault her husband cheated on her。 She really needs some help but doesn't want anyone's pity。 So when the Piece Makers ask her to stop in to see them， she had no idea they wanted to set her up with a new husband。 The were giving Katie a choice between two single guys in town。 Flynn Powers can be depended on but he is quiet and sometimes invisible。 When the Piece Makers ask him to stop by he has no idea they want to set him up to marry Katie。 They had been good friends back in school with both of them playing in the school band。 Flynn really would like to get married and have a family of his own since all of his siblings have now found their match。 His dating record is not good as girls think he is boring。 When Katie is given the choice between him and another guy， she says some things that actually hurt him。 She said marrying him would be like marrying her brother。 When Katie has some time to really think about the two guys that she could choose， she realizes that Flynn's dependability and integrity makes him the best choice for her。 Now she has to go and apologize to him for the remarks she made。This story has some very tender parts- I loved how Katie was able to actually build up Flynn by the way she treated him。 She was thankful and supportive of him and he didn't feel invisible。 Flynn went out of his way to make Katie feel treasured。 His wedding gifts to her were things that really touched her heart。 I also loved the Kissing list that the Piece Makers gave Katie and Flynn。Jessie gives some awesome marriage instructions through the marriage counseling that the pastor gives Flynn and Katie before the wedding。I received a copy of this book from the author and this is my honest unbiased review。 。。。more
