Synopsis:
Desperate for extra income after her mother’s passing, Adanne accepts a last-minute job as a makeup artist for a movie filming in her small Alabama hometown. She’s working to save her parents’ legacy and help her brother, but the money hardly seems worth having to face the actor who got her fired from her last job in Hollywood.
John Pope has made his share of mistakes over the years. But after turning his life over to God and enduring a messy breakup, he’s ready to start rebuilding his career. Imagine his surprise when the woman called in to cover for his usual makeup artist is a quiet but feisty newcomer on the set–and definitely not a fan.
Sparks of tension–and could that be attraction–fly between them, but Adanne hates the spotlight, and John’s scheming manager has bigger plans for him than to end up with the humble makeup girl from the small-town South. Can these star-crossed lovers find their way to happiness? Or will the bright lights of Hollywood blind their eyes to what’s right in front of them?
Debut author Jenny Erlingsson’s diverse cast comes alive with faith, romance, and a touch of humor to create a story worthy of the big screen.
Rating: 5-stars
Review:
Her Part to Play by Jenny Erlingsson is a beautiful novel featured in a small-town in Alabama. It displays faith in God’s plan for us, trusting in God, finding ourselves, and finally finding our happily-ever-after. The characters pop to life in this book. It feels three-dimensional. Their thoughts, emotions, and actions feel like my own. I enjoyed following this cast of characters as their journey deepened in the most important and sweet ways ever. This is the first novel I have read by Jenny Erlingsson, and I look forward to reading more of her books in the future. If you love a good Christain fiction read with a romance to cheer for-this, is it!
