Review ~ Whatever Happens Next (Everyday Love Book 4) by Jaycee Weaver + Giveaway




Growing up in nowhere Oklahoma gave US Air Force vehicle maintainer TSgt Dyson what his momma calls itchy feet. His wanderlust has kept him from romantic entanglements for years, until the day an over-dramatic, strawberry-scented chatterbox slams into him and turns his world upside down.


Jenna Davis was a quintessential good girl, deeply rooted in her family and faith until one mistake three years ago changed everything. Unable to admit her failure, she goes through the motions watching everyone else live their dreams. But it’s hard to find her purpose when opening up to anyone—even God—feels impossible. Then she meets Dyson, who personifies the strong, silent type.

Dyson gets her to open up and begin dreaming again, rebuilding the trust she’s lost in men and especially in herself. But Dyson has something important to tell Jenna, and he knows it’ll be the end of everything they’ve built. After all, how can he ask her to leave everything and everyone behind when he can never stay?

The Everyday Love Series is a contemporary romance series set in Albuquerque, featuring ordinary people in lifelike stories that inspire, uplift, and share hope. Stories in which a very real God shows Himself in everyday ways to carry His people through any circumstance. 




My Review
4 STARS!!!

“Just his luck, the first girl to spark an interest in months and she had to be three beans shy of a burrito.”

Whatever Happens Next is a fast-paced contemporary filled with some of the most humorous lines I think I’ve read in CF in a long time! It’s a seriously quotable book.

“Was she still talking? Good gravy, did she ever stop?”

On the surface, that thought might come off as rather rude but Dyson (he’s not much of a talker) finally has his interest peaked in a woman and she turns out to be a chatter box. Ever met anyone like that? ;-)  

Weaver touches on a subject that not many broach and does it well. She also shows how we can have a tendency to beat ourselves up over sin when in fact, once we’ve confessed and repented it before our Lord, we don’t have to keep dwelling on it.

It’s a good thing I’m in quarantine because if I had taken this book with me out in public, people probably would have looked at me weird. I found myself questioning Jenna’s thought process and advising her out loud on occasion. That tells me I was I enjoying this novel for more than just the one-liners.

I was provided an electronic copy of the book from the author. All opinions are my own.

    1. I can totally relate to that, Sonnetta! I may not have made the healthiest eating choices the last few weeks. ;-)

  4. I ordered another book you recommended and loved it. It is rare to find something contemporary you can identify with. I've often thought of settings that we see every day and don't think much about, where men and women might meet, from Walmart and Winn-Dixie to Hobby Lobby---just places people feel comfortable in and love to go. And as for the chattering lady, yes, we have a friend who is like that and once we looked beyond it we found her to be genuine with a heart full of love and generosity. I hope she finds such a companion.

  5. I've learned that I'm quite content to putter around the house and stay home most of the time. My husband is more of an extrovert, so I send him on any of the errands we need done. LOL I've also learned that it's hard to be apart from my family. I haven't been able to see them much or hug them lately.

    I've heard a lot of good things about this book! Thanks for the chance to win! whthomas13 at yahoo dot com
