Micah completely won me over. His patience, kindness, and steady support of Harper as she worked through her faith journey and her feelings made him such an easy character to love. I especially appreciated the way he gave her the space she needed while still encouraging her along the way.

One of my favorite parts of this story was watching Harper grow in her faith and confidence throughout the book.

While the pacing felt a little slower at times, the heartfelt character development and meaningful themes made it well worth the journey.

And that ending? So sweet
I immediately wanted to pick up A Season to Fall as soon as I finished.

BLURB: My friends just dared me to ask the most annoyingly decent man I know to be my fake date to the gala.
One night. Show up, smile, make my ex jealous. Go home.
The plan is simple. He plays the part, I get closure, and we both walk away like nothing happened.
Except nothing about him has ever been simple.
He’s steady. Faithful. All dimples and thick-framed glasses, the kind of man who shows up when it matters—and somehow sees more than I ever say out loud.
And the longer we pretend, the harder it is to remember what’s real.
I’m so busy trying to make the wrong man jealous, I almost miss what’s happening right in front of me.
When I thank him for this favor, he answers like he’s teasing. “You’ve found my weakness.”
“And that is?” I ask, but I can hear the truth behind it.
“You.”
It was supposed to last one night—a fake date, a favor, a friend I was never supposed to fall for.
It doesn’t.

Because some dares remain forever.

Dare to Fall is a clean, slow-burn Christian romance filled with fake-dating tension, friends-to-lovers longing, achingly honest faith questions, and swoon-worthy almost-moments. Perfect for readers who love protective heroes with terrible dad jokes, heroines learning the difference between striving and remaining, and love stories that lead you straight back to grace.

BLURB: My friends just dared me to hold a stranger’s hand.
Dark hair, just messy enough. Inked arms. Relaxed and completely unbothered—like the kind of guy who doesn’t second-guess a single thing he does.
Before I can overthink it, I close my eyes, take a breath…
And grab his hand.
The moment my fingers touch his, everything changes. His hand is warm, and for a beat, he doesn’t move.
I look up—and everything else fades.
His gaze is intense. Like he sees right through me. Then his fingers tighten around mine.
My heart stutters.
“Um… are you gonna let go?”
He tilts his head, just a little.
“Do you want me to?”
It’s supposed to end there—on a crowded street, with a stranger I’ll never see again.
It doesn’t.
Because some dares lead to forever.

Dare to Hold is a clean, slow-burn Christian romance filled with strangers-to-lovers tension, second chances, and swoon-worthy moments. Perfect for readers who love a broody tattooed worship leader, a sunshine heroine learning what grace really means, and a love story where redemption leads straight to Jesus.
