Liz Savoy has no plans to date anyone — least of all the dark handsome mystery man who sometimes inhabits the corner table at the coffee shop where she’s working to get through school. But plans change, sometimes in ways no one expected.
Jake McCoy is the next mega-millionaire author, or at least he would be if he could get the stories in his head down on the ether. With no good place to write, … to write, he resorts to dark corners in Wi-Fi hotspots, knowing no one in the world cares about him or his comings and goings one way or the other.
However, there is one waitress at The Grind coffee shop with a cute smile and kind eyes who doesn’t seem to think he is as invisible as he likes to think he is. Can reality with her ever hope to match the fantasy world where his imagination has him living?

I liked that the author incorporated hope for a group of people who are often without hope. Well written.
So this is not the next Jane Austen author but the book is good nonetheless. I enjoy a good, clean romance with compelling characters. The book has just enough unique traits to keep it from being like all the other romantic novels.
I’m not going to provide a summary because chances are you’ve already read the back of the book jacket. I will say that I predicted both of the characters “issues” but it could be because I’m a teacher and administrator. I’ve dealt with a plethora of issues over the years. I still enjoyed the book even if at times the “scientific” sections became a little boring. It’s not often readers learn from romance stories but if you’re unfamiliar with dyslexia this book will help you understand a person’s struggle.
For those who like clean romance, give this a read. There wasn’t a lot of scripture or preaching but there was some. It’s an easy and enjoyable read!
It was some time ago that I read this book, but I remember that I really enjoy ed it and also learned a few thing about the male characters’ disorder. Very sweet.highly recommend.
Stallings is one of my favorite authors. The only complaint I had was the book could have been shortened between chapters 1-11. Too much backstory. I almost put it down, but I was glad I didn’t.
I really liked how the author handled two very difficult subjects to write about, the trauma of post- abortion that many ladies go through, and living with a disability that no one can see. She wrote with sensitivity and deep understanding. As a parent and teacher of children who struggle with reading, I appreciated her careful weaving of the story.
Not since I read Flowers for Algernon have I been as moved by the plight of those with “disabilities” but this story had a much happier ending. Pointed out the problems of dyslexia. But more, how we judge people that do not meet our expectations. I would highly recommend this as reading for teenager through senior citizen.
This book shows the power of forgiveness and how God is always there.
I haven’t finished reading the book yet; I’m about half-way through. So appreciate that there is not cursing, swearing, dirty language, illicit sex, violence. It is possible to have a deeply enjoyable book without those negative things that so many books are filled with. Thanks for this good one!
A good read. I enjoyed.
