About this ebook
A meddling horse, paper bag floors and a flying saucer on the town square. The little town of Mars has it all—including a brand new resident who might spell heartache for one of its own. Twenty-something Penn Davenport yearns for an exciting life in the big city and wants to shed the label of orphan that she's worn for years. To achieve that dream, she must pass the CPA exam then move away from the two aunts who reared her after her parents died in a plane crash. When John Townsend—full of life and the joy of living—moves to town, he rattles Penn's view of herself, her life, and her dreams... which isn't such a bad thing until she falls for him and discovers he's a pilot.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Does our past define our present and future? That’s what Hope Toler Dougherty explores in her breezy contemporary romance, Mars . . . with Venus Rising. Quirky characters, a small town vibe and a hunky motorcycle-riding hero combine for a quick read perfect for your weekend getaway. But don’t let this humor-filled book fool you, it will also make you think about what past experiences and fears may keep you from living your life.Penn Davenport has her life planned, if she can just pass her CPA exam. But until then, her life revolves around teaching, youth group chaperoning and chasing her crazy aunts. Enter a slightly dangerous man who challenges her comfort zone and the way she perceives herself. Is she cautious, or paralyzed by a childhood tragedy?Penn is a great character — determined and independent, yet isolated by loss and grief, fear and doubts. Except for the aunts that raised her, she has walled off her heart. She has let perceptions and imagined reactions from others define who she is. Isn’t that a lie many of us let dominate our lives? Other supporting characters are instrumental in opening Penn’s eyes to her present and the future she can have if she overcomes her fears. Mars . . . with Venus Rising has a strong message of God’s sovereignty over the circumstances we are faced with.While not matchmaking, Penn’s aunts cook up treats to make you mouth water. This book really did make me hungry! I tried one of the recipes that can be found at the end of the book — Celebration Cookies. They were as delicious as they looked! Six dozen cookies gone in two days!All in all, Mars . . . with Venus Rising is a fun romance. You won’t regret tucking it into your beach bag or weekender.Recommended.Audience: adults.(Thanks to LitFuse for a review copy. All opinions expressed are mine alone.)
