The Mother's Day Bargain

De: Martha Fouts

Narrado por: Lisa Lynn Sandlin

Their moms only asked for one thing for Mother's Day . . .

"Sounds like our moms are cooking up a scheme for Mother's Day. Did Evelyn tell you to bring a date and if you didn't, she could set you up?"
"What? Yes, did Lois give you the same challenge?" The two old birds must've come up with the idea over a pot of their chamomile tea.
"Yep, of course she offered it up with a big dollop of guilt on top so I couldn't refuse."
"Lois resorted to guilt? That's not usually her style. I think maybe my mother has been a bad influence on your mother. Maybe we should treat them like two kids who can't get along and separate them?"
She put her hands together and wiggled her fingers deviously. "I say we turn the challenge back around on them."
She spoke as if she had a plan, and for a minute, Gabriel thought she was going to propose they go together. He almost wished she would. What if they could pretend like the past never happened, that they'd just met each other and could go on a date like normal people who had feelings for each other?

If you love small town romances that point people to Jesus, then you will love The Mother's Day Bargain, and you'll also love The Mother's Day Tea and The Mother's Day Letter.

Loved this sweet story!💕

Martha Fouts has done it again with a beautiful story of family, love, and the precious grace found in Christ. Her characters embody what the family of God should be and reminds me of so many of my church family who have helped shape my own story. Loved this book!

A sweet romance

This is my first story by this author and I believe by this narrator! I enjoyed getting to know Rae. She is very relatable. it was easy to understand why she carried around her identity from her youth. When you come from a small town like she did, or makes an impact.

Gabriel was a bit harder to warm up to. He's also from the same the same small and he seems like he still sees himself as the popular high school kid, not a grown up man, which doesn't do him any favors. As we learn more about him and the story, you know that it's intentional from the author.

Like both of their families, there were moments when I wanted to shake them both and tell them to figure it out! ha ha ha It was definitely a complicated relationship, which we're given insights to their past along the way.

The meddling moms were great! I loved their sweet friendship. The extended families were fun overall.

The faith interspersed throughout the story added the right touch as the characters worked through their emotions and life decisions!

I enjoyed the narrator. She did a good job with all of the different characters... and there were a lot. I could easily tell the difference with the moms and with Rae & Charlie. Because there were a good number of side women a couple of times I wasn't sure who was talking, but figured it out really quick!

*Thanks to the narrator for sending me the book!
