What fun it is to ride and sing…and interview award-winning (& bestselling!) novelist, Pepper Basham, on The Book Club Life podcast! : ) It was truly a joy to get to know the author who brought ME so much joy through her books. I found Pepper to be just like her rom-coms: full of humor, heart, gentle wisdom, and tons of fun. You can’t help but love her!

Using themes and quotes from Loyally Luke (and a few of her other novels)…

WE DISCUSSED:

• Lessons learned the hard way
• When friendships die & how/if to repair them
• How she met her husband <3
• Writing advice
• Grief & Joy
• Finding your identity in Christ
• What her parents got right
• Lord of the Rings (which character would you be?)
• Loyally Luke <3
• And more!

Won’t you come join us and listen in? You can listen to the podcast or watch on YouTube. Then scroll down to ENTER THE GIVEAWAY!

Wasn’t she the best?! I told you that you can’t help but love her! And I think you’re going to love her novels just as much. Here’s a little more about Loyally Luke (book 3 in the series)  before I tell you how to enter the Winner’s Choice Giveaway. <3

Description:

Sometimes love means embracing the good, the bad . . . and even the impossible.

Dear Reader,

My name is Luke Edgewood, and there are few things in life that I require. Mainly black coffee. And flannel. And lots of solitude. And my dogs, Chewy and Indie. What I don’t need is romance, so I have no plans to change my thirty-year-old-bachelor status anytime soon.

But my youngest sister thinks that by accepting a short-term construction job in the small European country of Skymar, I’m going to follow along in her footsteps and discover my own romantic adventure. Nope. Bah humbug. The End. This time, her rom-com-movie senses are totally wrong.

Or maybe not. Because I’ve met a Grace Kelly look-alike who is annoying . . . until she isn’t. But she is impossible. As in, nothing can happen between us because she is a literal princess. Even though that’s easy to forget when we’re working together to restore a castle-like orphanage in a secluded mountain town and “forced proximity” includes a small closet, a secret one-hundred-year-old journal, and the tactile memory of an off-limits royal in my arms.

Basically, the whole situation has turned into an ooey gooey magical snow globe of romantic tropes complete with cute kids and an actual ball. Even my sentences are starting to sound like mush. Ugh. Send high levels of testosterone my way–I’m going to need it.

Loyally,

Luke
