From Heartsong Presents website:
When twenty-four-year-old Mitchell Farris signed up for an evening cooking class he wasn’t expecting to meet the woman of his dreams. Now, if he can just convince the teacher he’s the man of her dreams and that age doesn’t matter, he’ll be fine. Carolyn Rutherford is quickly approaching her thirty-third birthday and knows that the time to settle down is fast approaching, but with whom? She has a mental image of her ideal mate – and it’s not Mitchell Farris. Would the Lord call her to marry someone nine years her junior? Or will everyone just wonder what’s cooking? Fall in love with this inspiring love story and our entire collection of Christian romance novels from Heartsong Presents! <\/strong><\/em>===============
This book was different because it had a conflict that I normally don\u2019t see in many romance novels. The heroine is nine years older than the hero. Since Carolyn is nine years older than Mitch, and Mitch\u2019s parents were teenagers when they had him, Carolyn ends up being closer to the age of Mitch\u2019s parents than to Mitch.
Carolyn is 33 and Mitch is 24. Since she\u2019s the high-school Home Ec teacher, some of Mitch\u2019s friends are acquainted with Carolyn through their former high school years, which causes some conflict in the story.
Mitch meets Carolyn when he signs up for a cooking class. He\u2019s desperate to learn adequate cooking skills because he wants to make food for the rehearsal dinner for his sister, who is going to wed Mitch\u2019s best friend.
Mitch is immediately attracted to Carolyn, but their age difference makes them hesitant about pursuing a relationship. Carolyn is already involved with somebody who meets her criteria of a future mate. However, it takes her some time to admit that she\u2019s in the wrong relationship.
I also love that the author talked about cooking and food, two of my favorite subjects!<\/p>\n
