Romance for Those Who Avoid Reading It… And Some For Those Who Love It

A number of my indie author friends and I are offering romance books for free or 99 cents today. Don’t miss these treats. I’ve read almost all of them and can testify that they are sweet and satisfying and have excellent messages.

Among them is my book Romance’s Rest. I call it a romance novel for people who avoid romance novels. It’s truly a romance novel with various twists on the genre, as, while it does follow the path of two people heading towards a relationship with each other, its primary theme is pursuing a relationship with God – or, rather, the way that He lovingly and perfectly pursues that covenant relationship with us. If you’d like to be encouraged, challenged, and inspired in your walk with God – and reminded just how stunningly He loves you – this book will be a very worthwhile investment of your time.

And don’t worry if you haven’t read the rest of the series – it works as a standalone!

FROM REVIEWS

“This was beautiful. This is what I want my love story to look like.”


“I found the concept of a romance story for non-romance readers both intriguing and well done! Kethin’s struggles are real, relatable, and encouraging. The theme of covenant love and understanding more about true love, starting with God, was absolutely incredible. Every page was filled with rich, convicting truths.”

“What I enjoyed most of all with this book, though, was how it portrayed what a Christ-Centred, God-honouring relationship should look like. Unlike most Christian romance books that put emphasis on the flesh and emotions, Erika Mathews reminds her readers of the part that prayer, purity and patience play in seeking God’s will for a life partner.”

TOMORROW ISN’T PROMISED

For another book to grab, I highly recommend Chelsea Burden’s Tomorrow Isn’t Promised.

This is another non-typical romance with a twist but the messages and life lessons and takeaways are just SO GOOD. I had the privilege of editing it and it blew me away.
