About this ebook

My blunder puts the local pastor at risk of losing his job. The least I can do is help clean up the mess . . . by marrying him.

Still single at 50, I’m in shock that a dropped batch of lemon bars leads to a marriage proposal. Which is great and all except for the fact that it’s for show.

I’m a plump, middle-aged woman with a talent for cooking and baking, not anyone’s idea of a wife. But Mad Dog needs me to marry him to suppress a scandal.

Maybe now I can figure out how he got that nickname.

My life won’t change much. He’ll live in my guest room, and I’ll feed him delicious food and yummy desserts. And maybe do his laundry.

But then shortly after the wedding, he asks me out on a date. What have I gotten myself into?

Helped by Ava was a lot of fun to read. Ava gets into hilarious situations, some all on her own and some with her single pastor, Mad Dog. There's a great reason for his nickname, but I bet that you'll never guess it. Remi Carrington develops both characters well throughout their backwards relationship. There's clever banter between Ava and Mad Dog. His pursuit of her is incredibly thoughtful. The only reservation that I had about the book was a decision that Mad Dog made at the end. It did not concern the romance. There's a great HEA for this couple. I recommend this book to readers that enjoy clean romantic comedies, clean romance, and Christian romance. I definitely plan to read more from this author. I received a complimentary copy. I am sharing my opinion of this well-written book.

This is book 3 in Carrington's Stargazer Springs Ranch series. A sweet, clean, funny romance that is well written and sure to please. I love that these main characters being of an age! Ava blunders around MadDog who's been a widow for awhile - both are attracted to the other but Ava feels undesirable and well MadDog's been out of the dating scene for awhile. Great characters who are relatable and funny situations make this a laugh out loud read that's sure to warm your heart! Loved it! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Building On Their Love - Madog and Ava had feelings for each other, but kept it hidden because of their insecurities. However, the decision to marry for the sake of convenience, put them on a fast track to acknowledging what most people could see. This is a slow-burn and moving story, about how two people with pain-filled pasts, were able to come together and find their happily ever after. It was such an excellent read, that had everything I always look for, when I want to indulge in a book. I highly recommend this book. I received an advanced copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
