Book Club Questions for Carry Her Heart




As requested, here are book club questions for my award winning, Carry Her Heart.  Thank you for picking it as a selection!




Carry Her Heart

Book Club Questions

1.  What did you think when you first saw the title, Carry Her Heart?  Did your thoughts about the title change after you’d finished the book? 

2.  Pip and Ned's relationship grew slowly throughout the course of the book.  They moved from neighbors, to friends and finally to lovers.  Do you have relationships in your life that have shifted from one thing to another over time?


3.  For Pip, her garden becomes a place of refuge.  Do you have someplace you like to go to think, or just take a break from the real world? 



4.  The idea of change is woven through Pip and Ned's book. Have you ever had an event in your life that changed your perspective about something?

5.  At what moment/event did you feel that Ned and Pip's relationship truly changed from friendship to something more?

6.  Pip has built her life around the daughter she only held for moments.  Is there someone in your life who's influenced it for the better?

7.  Ned said that loving Pip was as clear as the nose on his face.  Have you ever had something that was so obvious that you almost missed seeing it for what it was?

8.  What is your takeaway from Carry Her Heart?

Hot off the press...Siobhan has a cameo in These Three Words and she will have her own story coming out later this year.  Yes, of course, Ned and Pip will be there.  Watch Hold Onto Her Heart!

A Day Late and a Bride Short!!

I am so utterly excited that A Day Late and a Bride Short is finally available for your Kindle!!  This was the second book I wrote for Silhouette Romance.   I'm using "Holly Jacobs'Classic" just to let you know this is one of my earliest stories. Thank you everyone who's asked to have it available for their devices.

Thirteen years ago, when I sent this proposal to my editor, she sent me back a note from the Senior Editor saying that with that title, she'd expected a marriage of convenience story.  My original idea wasn't that at all, but as a very newish author,I said, "That's exactly what it will be."  My editor bought the proposal. 

It wasn't quite the story I intended to tell and to be honest, I wasn't sure how to write a contemporary marriage of convenience.  As someone who's been married for many years--someone who is still wildly in love with her husband--I have to confess, marriage isn't always convenient!  

Sarah and Donovan's story is available for preorder now!! Thanks so much and happy reading!

RT Bookclub 4 1/2 stars TOP PICK!
More Than Magic WINNER!!!!!

A Holly Jacobs' Classic Romance...
First Time as an eBook.


Donovan is an attorney on the rise. He's next in line for a partnership at his law firm. There's just one item missing from his resume...a wife.

Sarah is trying to get her fledgling business off the ground. She's looking for an attorney to help recoup the money she's owed. Money that could mean the difference between a successful business and scrapping her dream. She is absolutely NOT looking for a fiance, much less a husband. But when Donovan offers Sarah an engagement-of-convenience, she lets herself get persuaded it's just business.

Donovan and Sarah both discover when love enters the picture, their engagement isn't convenient in the least!

Reviews:


"... a beautiful, and sweet, love story. ...I can highly recommend this one it will stay with you long after you close the back cover." ~Romantic Times Bookclub, 4 1/2 Stars, TOP PICK!!

"My favorite Holly Jacobs book yet! What starts out as an engagement of convenience turns into a charming and delightful love story. Elias Donovan and Sarah Madison seems like extreme opposites until core values and heart's desires are revealed in this tale of awakening love. Ms. Jacob allows her energetic writing and talent for pairing entertaining characters to shine in A DAY LATE AND A BRIDE SHORT." ~Cheryl St.John, Author of MARRY ME…AGAIN, SSE, 8/03

"Ms. Jacobs has done it again! She has penned a delightful tale, full of her trademark humor and pure, sweet emotion. She has taken what could be a tired storyline – a marriage of convenience – and worked her own brand of magic on it, making it different and new. Of course, as said before, humor abounds, and there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments to be found." (4 1/2 stars) ~Kelley Hartsell, Love Romances

 "...you will love this one." ~Helen Slifer, Writers Unlimited Reviewer  "A Day Late and a Bride Short is sure to put a smile on your face..." ~Sharon Wren, Women on Writing Reviews
