Sonya Weiss | Living in a Small Town Rocks

goodreadstwitterfacebookbookbubamazonblog
Living in a small town rocks. Living in a small town set in the South really rocks. I donโ€™t live in one now, but I used to and it was awesome. There were some pretty quirky characters and a lot of friendly people.

These people that you may have known all your life can sometimes be a little
hard to put up with when the tell-a-friend chain gets going and nothing you do
is kept on the down low. You canโ€™t get away with anything because you know
someoneโ€™s going to tell your mom or one of your other relatives.

Of course, every town has that one person who hates change because โ€œthis is the
way itโ€™s always been doneโ€ and theyโ€™re resistant to anything that might shake up
tradition. Yet, when one of their own suffers any kind of adversity, the
townspeople rush to help, settling around you like a warm, comforting blanket of
love and support. And you remember that theyโ€™re always there for you when it counts.

Thatโ€™s why I like setting stories in small towns which is what I did for my newest book WEDDING DATE RESCUE.

I wanted to write a series about firefighters and the issues that can sometimes
affect them. I learned that the majority of their calls can be EMT related and
seeing people hurt in accidents or worse can take a toll on these brave heroes.

In this first book in the series, the hero, Kent, has faced some adversity of
his own and the town is not feeling the love toward the person who hurt him.

More than overcoming his physical injury, he has to overcome the emotional wound
so that heโ€™s free to love Casey, the woman whoโ€™s always been there for him.

I hope you all enjoy this friends-to-lovers book.

WEDDING DATE RESCUE by Sonya Weiss

Fire and Sparks #1

Wedding
Date Rescue

As a Firefighter, Kent Wakefield has been burned before, and not just by fire. So when Casey Bradford, his best friend's off-limits, gorgeous little sister, asks him to be her fake boyfriend, he flat out refuses. He doesn't do relationships, real or otherwise. But when his well-meaning, marriage-pushing mother corners him about his cousin's wedding, he panics and tells her he has a date. After being left at the altar, Casey is out of options. She needs a boyfriend ASAP or she can kiss her dreams good-bye. Who better than her brother's emotionally-unavailable best friend, Kent. She may have nursed a childhood crush, but this arrangement will be purely platonic...that is until he kisses her and suddenly it gets a lot harder to remember it's all pretend.

About Sonya Weiss

From the time she was a child, Sonya knew she was destined to be a writer. If she didnโ€™t like the ending of a book or movie, she would write her own ending. When her children were young, she often wrote stories to entertain them. At the urging of one of her daughters, she submitted a short story and to her surprise and delight, it sold. Sonya loves writing all things romance whether itโ€™s writing contemporary adult or teen fiction and still hasnโ€™t lost the wonder that she gets to do what she loves. She enjoys reading, movies, chocolate, and laughter and credits her daughters as being the sweetest blessings in her life.
