All Mel wants is to run the business of her dreams.
Melody Carmichael’s mobile pet grooming business might sink before it can sail when a favorite pet escapes her care. Doggie escape-artist, Daphne, got a taste of freedom, and the Afghan hound refuses to be found.
Enter Zeke Solomon. Desperate to bring the dog home for his grandmother, Zeke steps in to save the day.
And working together with Zeke would be a snap—if he would just stop blaming Mel for Daphne making a break for it.
Zeke is desperate to prove himself worthy of the Solomon name and step out from his father’s shadow. With his father breathing down his neck and demanding he return to the company business, Zeke must decide whether confronting the man he admires most is worth the risk of alienation.
Everything’s falling apart, and Mel’s dream transforms into a nightmare. She thought this was what God wanted for her life, but can you blame her for second-guessing everything?
Was it all just a mistake?
Mishaps off the Mainland is the fifth “Merriweather book” in a new series featuring five islands, six authors, and a boatload of happily-ever-afters.
The Independence Island Series: beach reads aren’t just for summer anymore.
MY THOUGHTS
Add one matchmaking lady + one matchmaking mut + a matchmaking truck and you've got Mel's day in a nutshell.
Between Mel's mobile business, run away clients, and personal relationships, Mel has got some challenges. Can she find her home: in Christ, in the business world, in relationships?
Where is Mel's identity? I see identity throughout the story: Mel & her business, Mel & her brother, Zeke's father & grandmother, Zeke & his father, Mel & God.
I also see home throughout the book as Mel, Zeke, Gimli, among other characters, come home.
I appreciate the gentle approach to lessons on idleness and fear. Like others in the Independence Islands series, trust plays into Mishaps off the Mainland and we can easily relate to the struggles of the characters & the lessons learned.
If you've enjoyed other books from the Independence Islands series, you won't want to miss Mishaps off the Mainland.
Disclaimer: I requested a copy of this book and am sharing my personal opinion.
