Rival Hearts

GIVEAWAY

RANDEL, TARA
RIVAL HEARTS

They both want the promotion. But will they find out that it is worth the cost?

Molly Henderson and Ben Weaver have been rival magazine writers for the same publishing group for years. When both come up for the same promotion, they find themselves in an unexpected competition to win the spot. Molly, editor of Quilter's Heart, and Ben, editor of Outdoor Adventures, must switch roles, each working for the other for one month, then submit an article at the end of their quests.

Can girly-girl Molly survive the outdoor adventures that Ben has planned? Can Ben navigate the perils of the social dynamics of quilting events without destroying a valuable quilt in one short month? More importantly, in this he-said, she-said situation, will Molly and Ben give in to their attraction and fall in love, no matter who wins?

My Review:

published in 2014

An impeccably paced romantic comedy that was a joy to read (well, listen to.) I can't believe I haven't read anything by Tara Randel before but you can bet I will rectify that asap! 

Enemies to more love trope pans out in both humorous and touching ways. And the whole out-of-their-comfort-zone challenge that dangles a promotion as the reward brings a kinda urban 'Survivor' vibe to the story. Soooo much fun! And along the way both Ben and Molly discover so much about themselves, their faith...and each other. Really, too good to pass up. I can't believe it took me nearly a decade to 'discover' this book!
