Mark Lyon was a beast in the boardroom. Building websites and branding corporations for success was his specialty, and he was good at it. Mark worked hard to earn his place at the top of his field. He let nothing stand in his way, not even Christmas.
Charity Clarke captured Mark's attention with her dirty mouth at first meeting, but her giving spirit stole his heart without notice. When she goes missing, will finding Charity be the gift with enough love and hope to save them both?

My Review
This book was a fun quick read. Mark Lyon is a man obsessed with his work. He doesn't really do anything else. Charity Clarke is a mystery woman he meets while attending a work Christmas function. He didn't want to go to the function but he does because he is expected to attend. He is taken by how beautiful she is right away. Then he is pleasantly surprised when she shows interest in him and quickly leave together. When Mark wakes up the next morning and she is already gone he is slightly disappointed. He gets up and decides to go for a run. While on his way to his favorite coffee shop he spots Charity on the steps. He goes to her and finds out she is doing charity work for the church. Mark stays to help as he wants to spend more time with Charity. Once again she is gone when he wakes up but this time she leaves a note saying she will be working at the church again. Mark gets ready and goes there. But, when he gets there he finds that Charity maybe in danger. Mark begins looking for her. How has one woman he barely knows gotten under his skin so quickly? Will Mark be able to find Charity? Has something horrible happened to her or has she just not shown up at the church? This book was good for how short it is. I would love to read more about these characters. Mark is quickly taken by Charity and is surprised by this. Mark finds himself doing things he wouldn't normally do after meeting Charity. She manages to bring out this whole other side in him. While he is looking for her he finds himself reaching out to people he normally wouldn't even think of. This book was wonderfully written and has great characters.

ReplyDeleteyet, it verily bears repeating, dear.
Looky:
I’d looove for you to peruse our 25 blogs;
however, lemme first explain something:
my solemn duty, dear, is to serve and honor you…
I’d also love to giveth unto thee ideas
simply because I love Trump’s humanity:
thots you never thot of,
the picturesque protagonist, par excellence,
the non-perishables, the luxurious ditzy-glitz:
the generous, undiluted expansion of d’bizarre;
the epic endoorphins – an open door to an
onomatopoeia Vernacular,
from the high-flying, barnstorming,
toxic firewurKS from yeee-haw KS
taking you in a completely new direction
than where you originally planned!!
O! the mind doth boggle, girly-whirly!!
Why else does a moth fly FROM the night
than to a bold, attractive candle Light??
Don’t let His extravagant Brilliance be extinguished.
You’re creative, yes?
Then, fly-away with U.S. to the antidote…
Whether you obtain morality4mortality to wiseabove
or just glean tantalizing specimens for thy next best seller,
you shall find in our blogs a lotta (subliminal) moxie
which has taken this sinfull mortal yeeeeers to compile:
I lay it ALL out for you, dear, with All-Star-Oxygems:
Wouldn’t ya love an endless eternity
of aplomBombs falling on thy indelible cranium?
An XtraXcitinXpose with no zooillogical-expiration-date?
An IQ much higher than K2?
An extraordinarily, anti-establishment-victory
with both sardonic, satirical wit Who’s savvy
and avant-guarde-humility??
Here’s what the exquisite, prolific GODy sed
(with a most-excellent-detector of bull§ht):
“Faith, hope, and love,
the greatest of these is love –
jump into faith…
and you’ll VitSee with love”
Doesn’t matter if you don’t believe (what I write);
God believes in you.
Meet me Upstairs, girl, where the Son never goes down
from a super-passionate, lucrative iconoclasm where you’ll find
nonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsX…
of deluxe-HTTP [<- pi] opportunities for excitement BTW.
