Love Finds You in Snowball, Arkansas So what if she can't hook a fish? This city girl has a plan to snag something else...and his name is Justin. Lucy Binoche is reasonably attractive, intelligent, and fit. She has French lineage and better-than-average hair. So why is she nearly 30 and still single? Justin Gerard is the rugged hottie new to her churchs singles group. When he signs up for a camping trip in the Ozarks, Lucy loses no time writing her name on the line beneath his. Theres only one problem: Lucys idea of "roughing it" is suffering through a long line at Starbucks. She assumes she can rely on the grace of God and the assistance of her friend to get through. But at the campsite in Snowball, Arkansas, Lucy bungles everything she attempts as she tries to impress Justin. She cant fish, hike, or ride a horse; caves make her hyperventilate; and hot-air balloons make her ill. Soon, events are snowballing out of control. Will Lucy pretend to be someone shes not just to snag a boyfriend? Or will she discover someone who loves her just as she is? Love Finds You is a series of full-length romance novels that give readers a peek into the flavor of local life across the United States. The novels are uniquely named after actual American towns with quirky, interesting names that inspire romance and are just plain fun This means that each fictional story draws on the compelling history or unique character of a real place. Our fresh, original love stories will feature everything from romance kindled in small towns, to old loves lost and found on the high plains, to new loves discovered at exciting vacation getaways.
This book was a fun read for me. I like the way the writer cleverly weaves the plot using journal entries and recipes, along with the hilarious voice of Lucy, the heroine. Lucy is sort of an every-girl figure--instantly easy to relate to. I like the way Bricker makes her vulnerable along with being smart and spunky. Lucy seems very real. I usually read a lot of classics, and in my personality sometimes tends toward a too serious view of life. This book helped me escape and relax while still providing spiritual nourishment. It's healthy--good for you--but a treat like chocolate. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a heartwarming story!
As good as chocolate

Love Finds you in Snowball, Arkansas by Sandra Bricker is a great inspirational and a must read. It is easy to laugh when Lucy thinks she finally has the perfect man in her sights, an answer from God. But most of us have made this mistake at some time in our lives. Who can blame Lucy for thinking if only she can share his interests, he will realize they belong together. No matter that she isn't an outdoor girl. No matter outdoor animals have never been her friend. No matter any reality, Lucy is sure he is for her. Even, no matter she can't see the gift of the perfect man who has been there all along. The nonstop Lucille Ball antics will leave you breathless with laughter, even as your heart wants Lucy to realize her mistakes and find her true love. A great Christmas gift for your best friends.

I read this book because I have read other books by this author ( I highly recommend UnWanted Husband also!). This book is delightfully funny. The main character is very easy to relate to and her mishaps keep you wanting more. The author keeps the story moving easily and I love her sense of humor. I'm looking forward to more books from her!

"This book is an excellent read for anyone who wants a little romance with their comedy - or a little comedy with their romance. The comedic flare of the main character makes it easy to relate to her and keeps you guessing about what's going to happen next. I picked up this book and COULD NOT put it down. Finished it in two days. This author has a way of describing things and making you feel like you're right there in the pages of the book. I highly recommend this book."
What a fun read!

I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful romance about a woman who thinks she has to change and become something she isn't to win a guy's affection. This creates one mishap after another - some zany and others that'll make you cringe. Sandra's characters are people we know, people we'd like to know, and...sometimes us. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a fun escape and likes that deep sigh at the end.
