Emma Mitchell may enjoy sprinkling romance into the lives of others, but her own plans involve a single first-class ticket to culinary school in Europe.

When her best friend, Jon Noble, suddenly moves back to Ransom, Emma’s fairly certain her life can’t get any better…until her matchmaking schemes nosedive, her culinary future falls flat, and a life-long friendship begins to teeter on the brink of something unexpected.

With a little inspiration from Jane Austen’s classic and a touch of Blue Ridge charm, will Jon and Emma discover that what they need the most may be the last thing they’re trying to find?

Pepper Basham is an award-winning author who writes romance peppered with grace and humor with a southern Appalachian flair. Her books have garnered recognition in the Grace Awards, Inpsys, and the ACFW Carol Awards, with The Thorn Healer selected as a 2018 finalist in the RT awards. Both her contemporary and historical romance novels consistently receive high ratings from Romantic Times, with Just the Way You Are as a Top Pick.

The second novel in The Pleasant Gap series, When You Look at Me, arrives in October and her contribution to Barbour's wonderful My Heart Belongs series hits the shelves in January 2019 with My Heart Belongs in the Blue Ridge. Her books are seasoned with her Appalachian heritage and love for family. She currently resides in the lovely mountains of Asheville, NC where she is the mom of five great kids, a speech-pathologist to about fifty more, and a lover of chocolate, jazz, hats, and Jesus.

MY THOUGHTS:
      The moment you pick up one of Pepper's books, you will be hooked. Her talent and love for writing books are so apparent in her books and life. Her newest book "A Match for Emma" is fun yet, its like you've arrived in a place you've been looking for all your life. You'll feel like family and friends with the towns people. You'll also feel like giving Emma a little shake, tell her to open her eyes, stop matchmaking for others and see whats right under her nose. When her heart becomes apparent, will she make her feelings known or will she keep quiet hoping not to ruin the comfort her life gives her. Will she stand up? Or will she run? One way to find out, READ THE BOOK!!!
Blessings,
