Tea For Two by Trish Perry

Hi Readers,

Here is an easy reading, enjoyable book! This is the second book in a series, but it holds up very well on its own. One of the main attractions, and settings in this book is Milly's. She owns a tea shop, which has lots of teas of course, but also many baked goods or sandwiches to go with tea.

Tina is a councilor who meets with a group of ladies every week to help them, and they hold that meeting at Milly's. One day while having their meeting, Tina gets rather distracted by the handsome man delivering the berries and vegetables. She puts it out of her mind, but Milly didn't miss her noticing Zack.

Soon Zack is in trouble with his teenagers. Dylan and Sherry are getting into all kinds of trouble that could soon be super serious if he can't get through to them. Zack is a single parent, and so Milly gently sets it up for Tina to help council Zack and his children with out it being official counseling work in the office. Before very long the children decide that Tina is a perfect new girlfriend for their Dad, and even when Tina tells the children she is a counselor, they don't care! They want her to help their Dad, and so Tina is soon wondering if this man she is so drawn to is the next man God wants in her life! After all, dating is hard, complicated, and most of the time it is easier to run from it.

A very nice light romance, with good humor, and some adventure. I enjoyed it.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

A word from our Author: I started writing short stories—pretty bad ones. And I started taking creative writing courses to round out my degree. So I was in classes full of people just like me—lousy writers. But we were learning!

Then the Lord led me to a local writers' group, Capital Christian Writers, and the contacts and friends I made through CCW enriched my personal life and my writing life more than I can measure. Through CCW and through reading just about every book and magazine ever published by Writer's Digest, I started catching on. Now I'm writing full time and man oh man do I love it.

Before the writing began, I worked for attorneys in Washington, D. C. I worked for the Securities and Exchange Commission. And I was a stockbroker. A horrible stockbroker. How do people do that? Take responsibility for other people's financial futures? Yikes. I'm perfectly happy to take responsibility for the amount of time any one person wants to spend reading my books. If you enjoy the experience, then know that we both enjoyed it together. I love that about books.

In the midst of all that fretting over other people's money and writing about other people's lives, I racked up a few personal experiences myself. Some good, some bad, but all part of God's plan. Now I'm an empty nester living in Northern Virginia. My brilliantly funny son is in college. I have a savvy, gorgeous grown daughter, a charming son-in-law, and an amazing grandson.


ABOUT THE BOOK

Zack Cooper tries his best to raise his children, but he's losing his grip on them in their teen years. They've both had scrapes with the local law.

Tea Shop owner Milly Jewel has the perfect woman in mind to help Zack. Counselor Tina Milano meets weekly at the tea shop with her women's group. Milly encourages Zack and Tina to work together to draw the teens back before they get in even hotter water. Milly never thought things might heat up between Zack and Tina. Or did she?

Tina's connections with the Middleburg police department prove a mixed blessing for Zack and his kids. Both her best friend and old boyfriend are officers on the force.

And when Tina's women's group gets wind of her personal pursuits and clashes, they want to help. The group's meetings at the tea shop take on a slightly different flavor. Tina wonders who, exactly, is counseling whom.

Although heroine Tina Milano and her women's group are mentioned in The Perfect Blend (the first book in this series), Tea for Two is where we meet her and hero Zack Cooper. I knew I would write this book while I wrote the first, so it was fun to plant a passing mention of Zack and Tina while I wrote Steph's story in The Perfect Blend. By the time I was able to write Tina and Zack's story, I was eager to unfold their lives, conflicts, and love. I hope readers will be eager to experience what happens to them!
