Lavishing Love is a beautiful love letter posing as short stories that tug at heartstrings. It is filled with light-hearted love stories, including true stories of love, that celebrate marriage from proposals to stunning celebrations; remind us of the joys of meeting a new love; and unfold the nuances of online dating. In Missed Kisses, Lorraine can't get over her husband's decision to spend time away from her on a business trip on Valentine's Day. What's really going on? You'll have fun as a wedding guest in Mixed Marriage. Dexter and Grace operate an uber successful event planning agency, but working so closely works their nerves and strains their marriage-and there's nowhere to hide the baggage each brought into the relationship. They also contend with an unknown saboteur. The Lavishing Love family invites you to peek into their lives as they meet, marry, manage myriad mishaps, and learn to trust and forgive. In Mall Walkers, you will find out whether the Randolphs made the right decision to conceal their personal tragedy from everyone, including their adopted daughter. Love Tribe celebrates people who help us thrive, support us wholeheartedly, and are proof of God's unyielding love. Readers will smile and laugh a lot, cry a little, and cheer for characters who struggle with loneliness, loss, and confront jealousy and self-doubt. Commentaries about love and marriage unite with testimonials and love letters, as the author shares intimate details of personal entanglements, which along with the other Lavishing Love stories, prove love conquers all. Lavishing Love is a feel-good anytime read and a fun beach read. It's a perfect holiday read, and explores Christmas, Kwanzaa and Valentine's Day. It's uplifting, fun, and captivating as you witness how ordinary people navigate extraordinary and common issues. Lavishing Love is thought provoking and encourages readers to consider how they would respond to the characters' dilemmas. Bonus: Perfect Imperfection Events bridal guide, event planning tips, real weddings, and book club discussion prompts.
