NOT SO VERY SENSIBLE by Carolyn Miller, Reviewed by Rebecca Maney #NewRelease


The Silver Teapot Series #3


REBECCA'S REVIEW:
" ... he figured death would be easier than facing the woman many people thought of as his girlfriend."

Life was complicated. And it was about to become even more complicated, but before it did, Ethan Ferris met a lovely woman at an art deco murder mystery weekend in the Blue Mountains who caught his attention and captured his heart. But there was a problem, actually two or three problems if he was going to be completely honest with himself; his family expected (even demanded) that he tie his future to a family friend, that same family friend was dangerously delusional about their relationship, and somewhere in the process Ethan lost his phone along with the only way he knew how to contact the one person he really wanted to spend time with, Ellie Bennett.

Ellie Bennett could not believe her good fortune. Meeting Ethan Ferris was like a dream come true, they had so much in common, their conversations were rigorous and fun, he thought she was beautiful, and he promised to visit their family tea room on the following weekend. And then . . . nothing. Nothing at all. Heartbroken, Ellie tries to imagine what could have happened, until what happened became abundantly clear . . . or so she thought.

What an entertaining conglomerate of misunderstanding! Learning to trust God in the big things as well as the small, acknowledging the value of honest communication, nurturing a heart that gracefully forgives, and realizing what a precious gift the love of another truly is, all in a surrounding that serves the best tea! (and coffee!)

BackCover Blurb:
Two Sisters Navigate the Minefield of Modern Dating

Elinor and Katie Bennett are as opposite as sisters can be: Elinor loves structure, planning and design, while Katie’s head is in the clouds as she chases fanciful, romantic dreams. A college graduation trip to the Blue Mountains sees them staying at the Hydro Grand hotel for a murder mystery weekend. There, they end up meeting two men who just might hold the keys to their hearts—taking the sensible Elinor Bennett by surprise while crushing the romantic Katie’s hopes. . .and proving that the path of love doesn’t always follow one's plans or dreams.
