"Someone Like You"

Are you a fan of Christian Fiction? A fan of second-chance romance, contemporary fiction, a love story sprinkled with fun, problems, and a delightful cast of characters? Then you will enjoy "Someone Like You", an easy to read, relaxing novel.
We are introduced to the two main characters, Zeke and Julia, who were in love back in their college days. Zeke falls short of perfection, misunderstandings, and they went their separate ways.
Zeke is the manager of a failing resort Caliente Springs and he needs something big to happen to draw back the crowds. He loves Caliente Springs and he loves all it's employees. He feels the weight of the resort and the need to keep it going oh his shoulders.
Julia is a single mother, starting a new event planning business, Dare to Dream, she needs this business to work to support her son and herself. She has decided not to marry the father of her son as he is not a nice person or a good example for their son.
Back in college Zeke was an energetic and active christian, Julia not so. After their parting, Zeke has lost his faith, while apart Julia has found faith.
Caliente Springs is owned by a brother and sister, once a star singing duo. One is ready to sell, the other is holding on. Enter their 'adopted' daughter who is getting married, but must get married in 30 days - before her husband is away in the service.
Can a huge, beautiful wedding be put together in 30 days? Can Zeke find a qualified wedding planner that can do it? Can this event save Caliente Springs?
A whole lot of work, a few problems, a little fun, sprinkled with love and faith! And a little bit of Daniel!
A great story!

"Someone Like You"
by Victoria Bylin
Single mom Julia Dare has a lot on her plate. A brand new Christian, she's busy trying to run her own business, spend time with her widowed mother, and raise her young son, Max, despite his father's less-than-ideal influence on him. When a big account from her event-planning business sends her to the Caliente Springs resort, she's shocked to come face-to-face with Zeke Monroe, the resort's general manager and her college sweetheart.
With his faith in tatters, Zeke Monroe is determined to keep the historic Caliente Springs resort running despite financial difficulties. But when Julia walks back into his life, he can't ignore the feelings she stirs up. As they work together on an important client's dream wedding, the fate of the resort soon depends on their success. When Zeke and Julia are pushed to their limits both personally and professionally, will their history put up walls between them or bring them together?
