The Emma Special by Mandi Blake and Tasha Hackett

 



The Emma Special - Mandi Blake and Tasha Hackett
5 Stars
Book 1 in the Kiss & Tell Series

This is a Christian Rom-Com and I ATE THIS UP!!! I loved it so much. Emma and James were the best. What are my immediate feelings? How do I put this into words....I laughed, I cried....I found so much relatability in Emma's life with her mother and their home situation - it hit me unexpectedly and I felt so seen in James' response to her life in that moment.

I also loveeee Marriage of Convenience trope and James was the perfect cinnamon roll guy in this book for that situation, he stepped up and made sure to help Emma no matter what. They had history together and that made it better too when it came to the MOC trope.

Emma's mama was wildddd and her friend group really gave her the courage she needed and encouragement to not let her mama walk all over her. The friendships in this were chef's kiss and the text messages cracked me up! 

Loved the co-working bits too, of Emma and James working together at the beginning of the book, love a good workplace romance.

Obviously I am just gushing about this and have no cohesive review LOL But I just cannot recommend this enough, I loved the faith, romance, friendship, depth....just pick it up! My friend Melissa and I read this together so I recommend reading with others too!

This releases October 2nd on KU so be sure to check it out.

Thank you to Mandi and Tasha for sending me an early e-book copy to read for review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Book's Synopsis:

One hitchhiking fairy. One lawyer late for work. Enter: Confetti.

Emma Glass might pretend to be a princess for birthday parties, but her life is anything but a fairytale. Too bad princess gigs don’t pay into a 401K or provide health insurance—something she desperately needs for an old knee injury.

James Moore’s life changed the day he stopped to give a fairy a ride to book club. Now his high school crush is the new assistant at his law firm, and he’s falling for her all over again.

And when Emma won’t accept his money for knee surgery, he proposes another, totally reasonable solution—marriage.

They couldn’t be more different, and this marriage is supposed to be…convenient. Neither of them is prepared for when it starts to look less like a business agreement and more like happily ever after.

The Emma Special is a Christian, smalltown romance with depth and lots of laughs. The Kiss and Tell series centers around a hilarious group of women who stick by each other through thick and thin and should be read in order.
