Love on a Deadline by Kathryn Springer

★★★★★
MacKenzie “Mac” Davis left her hometown of Red Leaf, Wisconsin, to pursue a degree in journalism. But when her dad, the town’s beloved Coach Davis, suffers a mild heart attack, Mac returns home to help out. She takes a job at the weekly newspaper but instead of covering serious topics, her editor wants her to write about social events – like the garden club’s flower show and the historical society’s afternoon tea. Mac knows it’s no way to earn her father’s respect – or the attention of one of the newspapers she hopes will hire her when she leaves Red Leaf.

When Hollis Channing, Mac’s high school nemesis, returns to Red Leaf to marry her celebrity fiancé, the editor asks Mac to cover the big event – and all the festivities leading up to – for the newspaper.

The last thing Mac wants to do is reconnect with the person who made her life miserable when she was a teenager… unless it’s spending time with Ethan Channing, the bride’s older brother – and Mac’s first crush.

Mac is no longer the awkward girl who wore the school mascot costume to the Homecoming dance but she realizes something hasn’t changed: her feelings for Ethan.

Another great addition to A Year of Weddings from Kathryn Springer, “Love on a Deadline” returns to the Red Leaf, Wisconsin of “A September Bride” and tells the story of another second-chance romance. MacKenzie Davis and Ethan Channing reconnect when he returns home to plan his sister’s wedding. Their story is cute and sweet, as they seek to distinguish themselves from their high-school selves and discover their potential for love. Fans of Zondervan’s novella collection will certainly enjoyed this romance from Kathryn Springer. It’s a great, quick summer read.

Thanks to Zondervan and NetGalley, I received a copy of “Love on a Deadline” and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.
