Dating, Dining, and Desperation: A Dear Daphne Novel

Dating, Dining, and Desperation: A Dear Daphne Novel

Melody Carlson. Nashville: B&H Publishing, 2014. 271 pp. (Kindle Version).

If you have read Christian fiction, you are certainly familiar with Melody Carlson. If you like light Christian romance, you are probably a fan, like me. This is the second of four books in the Dear Daphne series. 

Daphne Ballinger is writing a syndicated advice column, working on a book and living in her late Aunt Dee’s house — for now. 

Life as she knows it will soon change markedly, though, if she is not able (or willing) to meet the terms of Aunt Dee’s will in the next six months. It doesn’t look good for Daphne, especially after the latest complication. 

Light, breezy and filled with engaging characters, this is the kind of book you sit down and read through, then wait impatiently for the next one — which shouldn’t be long in coming. I’m pretty sure I know how it will all turn out (Daphne absolutely has to stay in Aunt Dee’s house), but I am eager to see how Carlson pulls it off. 

Interestingly the first two were published in print versions, but the remaining books are expected to release soon in ebook format only. 

If you don’t have a Kindle, you might want to download a free Kindle app for your computer so you can read them.
