Waterfalls: Book 6 in the Glenbrooke Series

By Robin Jones Gunn

Meredith Graham's job as a children's book acquisitions editor takes her to Glenbrooke, Oregon, where she meets the only man who has ever made her heart leap: Jacob Wilde. Trouble is, his heart doesn't seem to be leaping in response to hers. But then, Jake's a movie star. Out of her league. Still, she can't get him out of her mind. So when circumstances continue to throw the two of them together, Meri decides to pull out all the stops to win her "dream man" -- but all of her schemes can't prepare her for what happens when they meet again in this bestselling former Palisades release, now book six in the new Glenbrooke series by award-winning author Robin Jones Gunn.

Fun-loving Meri Graham has never met her match… until now?

Meredith’s trip to Glenbrooke , Oregon , takes a decidedly interesting turn when she finds herself sharing a picnic with a man who makes her heart beat in triple time. Pretty, spunky, Meri has never had a problem holding her own with attractive men. But when she discovers her picnic partner is movie star Jacob Wilde, she loses her characteristic cool, puts her foot in her mouth, and ruins everything!

The next time she meets Jacob, the tables are turned. He’s written some children’s books and wants her company to publish them. As acquisitions editor, Meri’s the woman he needs to impress. She’s more than willing to let him work at it.

When Meri lands an unexpected walk-on role in a film, Jacob finally begins to see her in a different light—and discovers what it feels like to be starstruck himself.

Found a cool prayer within this fiction book.

Blond and bubbly Meredith Graham has one weakness: movie stars. When she meets mysterious "Jay" at a friend's home, she's struck by how much he resembles one of her favorite celebrity crushes, Jacob Wilde. When she inadvertently discovers that Jay and Jacob and one and the same, she can't help exclaiming -- and drawing a crowd of his fans -- before she realizes that he was attempting to enjoy a bit of anonymity. Meredith fears that she has alienated Jacob for good, but circumstances continue to throw the two together in a variety of wacky scenarios. When Meredith gets the chance to dip her toe into the world of film making and collaborate with Jacob on a project, she struggles with learning to control her emotions, while wondering if he will ever open up and express his.This cute, funny inspirational romance is a welcome addition to the Glenbrooke series, drawing together two characters who have appeared in previous volumes. While it's not necessary for readers to have read the earlier books, prior knowledge of the series can only add to the reader's enjoyment. Gunn's writing is a cut above other inspirational romances, though this is not her strongest work.

Waterfalls (Glenbrooke Series #6)Robin Jones GunnBook Summary: Pretty, spunky Meri has never had a problem holding her own with attractive men. But her trip to Glenbrooke, Oregon, takes a decidedly interesting turn when she finds herself sharing a picnic with a man who makes her heart beat in triple time. When she discovers her picnic partner is none other than movie star Jacob Wilde, she loses her characteristic cool and ruins everything! The next time their paths cross, the tables are turned. Jacob is eager to publish his children’s books, and Meri, as an acquisitions editor, is the woman he needs to impress. She’s more than willing to let him work at it. Partnering on a project, Meri and Jake begin to spend a lot of time together. As Meri learns to distinguish the real Jake from his Hollywood persona, she can’t help but be drawn to him. But what will it take for him to see her in a different light—and realize she has more to offer than her editorial expertise?Review: This is a book I have read more than once. The entire series was a favorite! I really liked the characters in this story. I found Meri to be a character I can identify with and thought that the other characters who were reoccurring to blend nicely with this book. You can read as a standalone or the entire series. I have read them out of order. The fact that this is a 2nd or 3rd reprint is what makes this series one that stands the test of times in Christian Fiction. I can honestly say this series had a huge impact on me the first time I read them and the second time was like reminiscing with old friends.
