Miranda, Randi, Woodruff star of her own home improvement show "From the Ground Up" is in trouble. Randi has felt abandoned all her life. Her missionary parents sent her back to the U.S. to be raised by her grandparents. Her fiancee left her and she is stuck hoping that he might return someday. Her show is in jeapordy of being cancelled, so her manager comes up with a couple of publicity stunts to save the show and her career.Matthew Knox is a political reporter that has taken chances with his career and lost. Matt continues to take chances on "lead stories" but continues to lose. Matt is offered a "fluff" job as a blogger who follows the life of celebrity, Miranda Woodruff. This isn't his style of writing, but he takes the job to help pay for cochlear implant surgery for his niece. Miranda Woodruff also happens to be his niece's favorite celebrity. So he figures he can't mess up on this story, or can he?
Tagg builds beautiful characters with real life issues. The story was built with a satisfying conclusion. There were some knots along the way. Randi works on the issues in her life while keeping up a fake marriage and hoping to keep the personal shadow, Matt Knox, in the dark. Find out how a relationship can be "Made to Last" in Melissa Tagg's debut novel. I loved this simple story. The life issues gave a sense of reality. Sometimes things in life take on a life of their own before we know think about consequences. I look forward to hearing more from this talented writer.
My thanks to Bethany House publishers and Netgalley for providing me with a free e-copy of the book to review.
