"I have become the biggest Rachel Hauck fan! Not only from working with her in writing my books, but just reading her stand-alone novels! She is truly so smart, witty and seems to have a direct insight to human nature and our emotions. She knows the right things to say that always confirm what I'm feeling, and I'm sure many many others too!"

Rachel lives in central Florida with her husband and pets, and writes from her two-story tower in an exceedingly more comfy chair. She is a huge Buckeyes football fan. Here's my review of this enjoyable novella:
First, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank
you” to Rachel Hauck and her publisher for sending me a copy of "A Brush With Love"
to review for them. I am truly grateful for this generosity. I really
appreciate the time, effort and expense it takes to make a reviewer copy
available to me.
In 'A Brush with Love' by Rachel Hauck, a first date that never
happened 12 years ago is still not part of the past for Ginger and Tom. In fact, there is a lot of past between them:
scandal, physical and emotional scars, old feelings. It seems that they might have a second chance
at love. But before Tom can woo Ginger
to himself, he must let her fall in love with Jesus.
For such a short novella, this books packs in a lot of plot! Rachel Hauck paints a beautiful picture of
redemption with well molded characters and sweet words. By the time you turn the last page, you will
see true beauty through changed eyes.
This is a great read!
