Table for One by Georgiana Daniels

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you know that I don’t usually feature book reviews/promos—but I’m making an exception for a fabulous book by one of my very dear friends, Georgiana Daniels.

TABLE FOR ONE
Successful stockbroker Lucy Brocklehurst hasn’t had a date in four years. In a town where the ratio of single women to men is 7:1, she’s determined to wait on God for the perfect mate–as long as it’s the hot new youth pastor at her church.

Lucy will do anything to get his attention, including volunteering for the youth group. Through a series of misadventures on the teen outings, Lucy finds herself falling in love with a kindhearted chaperone named Edgar Flowers. But when their relationship grows serious, Lucy discovers the lengths his recently widowed mother will go to in order to keep them apart. What starts out as harmless interference turns into an all out tug of war, with Edgar as the prize!

Will Lucy crumble under the scrutiny of her would-be mother-in-law? Or can Lucy and Edgar’s budding romance survive the schemes of his meddling mom?

———-

Georgiana Daniels is the wife of a super-generous husband, and the mother of a teen and two tots. After graduating with a degree in public relations, she spent several years in the business world, but now has the privilege of staying home and working on the stories she loves. Table for One is her first book. When not writing, she spends her time burning up miles on the treadmill, blogging, and participating in ACFW and RWA. Georgiana participated in an online “radio” interview on Monday about her writing and Table for One, which you can listen to here.

Georgiana is one of the most fearless authors I know. Now, I don’t mean that she’s going out and cliff diving or bungee jumping off the Eiffel Tower. What I mean is that she has no qualms about putting her characters in one sticky situation after another, always with hilarious and often eye-opening consequences. She doesn’t pull punches with the conflicts, nor with the lessons that the main character must learn, even when that lesson comes in the midst of crisis.

As a single woman, I am right there, struggling along with Lucy, who’s the kind of woman who can be completely confident and mature in her business dealings and revert to an insecure, socially inept twelve-year-old when it comes to romance (or am I projecting?).

You owe it to yourself to read this debut novel from an up-and-coming bestselling author. Oh, and while you’re at it—if you’re going to be attending the ACFW conference in Minneapolis, help me convince Georgiana to participate in the book signing!

Table for One is available from Amazon.com and directly from the publisher at TheWildRosePress.com.
