About the Book

Allegra Spencer has been living a careful life. Her safe job as an accountant is bookended by going to church and the gym. Okay, sometimes the gym. Fine. She goes to church. And the coffee shop. She avoids risk at all cost, preferring to stay safe in her cozy condo. Until her accounting firm goes belly up and she's out of a job. 

Tyler Hawk had a glorious career as a star NFL tight end. He retired on a high note and now lives a second dream of owning his own business and leading others on extreme outdoor adventures. But he needs help with his books—and his heart. When Allegra takes the job, sparks fly. 

It’s a case of safety zone versus danger zone, and in their minds, never the two shall meet.

My Thoughts

What a FUN and LIGHT book! This was exactly what I needed after reading a couple of really heavy books recently. An EXCELLENT story filled with humour, romance, and FAITH! This book is definitely an adventure worth taking.

Mikal Dawn's debut novel has everything that you could want in an Inspirational Romantic Comedy! Easy banter between our characters that left me snort-laughing out loud. A swoony hero that allows God to shape his heart. But most importantly (to me) a heroine that is easy to relate to with her coffee addiction, her "imperfections", a fear of risk, and scars from the past. I loved watching the Lord work in both Allegra and Tyler's hearts. I think it was significant that we go to see the difference in how God speaks to us and leads in a way that is unique to our personality. 

Allegra and Tyler are very special characters and I hope they make an appearance in book 2...(fingers crossed it is about Story and Bo...because those two need their own book!)...Between the references to places I actually knew and have been to, the coffee (did I say that already?), the hurts and the struggles, the fear, the hope, the faith, the trust...You don't want to let this ride pass you by! (Also the cover...SWOON)

About the Author

Mikal Dawn is an inspirational romance author, wedding enthusiast and proud military wife. She also blogs for a local ministry and volunteers as a Key Spouse for her husband’s squadron. When she isn’t writing about faith, fun, and forever, she is obsessively scouring Pinterest (with coffee in hand, of course!) for wedding ideas for her characters.

Mikal holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and an associate’s degree in Accounting (both from Liberty University), and has worked in accounting, as an assistant to a best-selling author, and currently works as a Social Media Assistant for a Christian fiction author and a Publicity Assistant for a Christian nonfiction author. (They keep her on her toes!)

Her first love is Jesus Christ, her second love is her husband, third her kids, fourth is writing, and fifth is coffee. Or reading.

Nah, it’s coffee.

Born and raised just outside of Vancouver, Canada, Mikal has lived throughout the southern United States, currently residing in Nebraska (and loving it!) with her husband, three kids, and one lazy ferocious feline.
