Book Review: A Great Catch by Lorna Seilstad

From the back cover: 


She wants to change the world.
He wants to change her mind.

It's the beginning of a new century at Lake Manawa resort in Iowa, but some things never change. When Emily Graham's meddlesome aunts and grandmother take it upon themselves to find her a husband among the resort guests, the spunky suffragist is determined to politely decline each and every suitor. She has neither the time nor the need for a man in her busy life.

Carter Stockton, a recent college graduate and a pitcher for the Manawa Owls baseball team, intends to enjoy every minute of the summer before he is forced into the straitlaced business world of his father.

When their worlds collide, neither Emily nor Carter could have guessed what would come next. Will Carter strike out? Or will Emily cast her vote for a love that might cost her dreams?


My Review:
I had tried reading this book once before and I couldn't get into reading it.  I seen it at the library and I just knew I had to try reading it again because the cover was so intriguing.  I am so glad I did.  I really got into the story this time and enjoyed it immensely. 


I didn't realize that this book is the second in a series called "Lake Manawa Summers." It reads like a stand alone novel so you don't have to worry about reading the first book, but I will be requesting it from the library.  


"A Great Catch" has a sweet romance, humor, history, and a great spiritual lesson of learning to put God first in your life.  


This is Lorna Seilstad's second novel.
