I downloaded the sample for later, but decided to check it out. By the time I got to the end of the sample I could not stop! I had to buy the rest of the book right away and pretty much left everything else aside and kept reading till I got to the end. It's that kind of story. It draws you in, and has enough depth and unexpected turns to keep you turning the pages.
A winner on my list

Angelica Dunn, baker extraordinaire, is weary of living from one pie season to another. When she slips on the floor under a bucket of custard creme, a handsome stranger comes to her rescue. Instantly, she's smitten.
CIA officer, Thaddeus Wright, is drawn to the dimple-cheeked beauty. He adores Angelica's spunk and the fact that she isn't pushy like other women. But, how can he tell her he's not the computer repairman that she assumes he is?
To complicate matters, Angelica mistakenly leaves a message on Thadd's home phone. To what lengths will she go to intercept the embarrassing evidence that's certain to squelch all hope of a future with Mr. Wright?
A comedy of errors and ending up in the wrong place at the wrong time, catapults Angelica into a battle between right and wrong. Will Angelica choose to do what's right, even when things get complicated?

Adoreable Story Line
​Fun story about impetuous Angela who puts her heart first and thinks of the consequences later. Faith based and filled with twists and turns that will make you smile. Enjoyed the bakery side and the dialogue was good between the roommates. Worthwhile read.
Fun, faith based story about a girl who jumps first and then thinks about her decisions.
A sweet inspirational romance between a strong-willed, impulsive Florida chef with big dreams and a DC man with a mystery job fall for each other at first sight. Ang’s roommate’s brother is a hunky dreamboat with a huge faith-filled personality, and Ang, known for not checking her messages or the number she’s calling, inserts foot in mouth…or old-fashioned answering machine in Thadd’s case.
Ang is also known for either jumping in where angels fear to tread or sitting and dithering, wondering what’s right. When lots of prayer and advice from her friends, helpful though pointed and character-building, points her in the right direction, how can she trust not only herself but Thadd to forgive her missteps and miscues? Thadd is dedicated to his work, but longing for a companion who’s not chasing him, trying to manage his life. Klutzy, adorable Angelica seems perfect.
Told in alternating viewpoints from Angelica and Thadd’s points of views, this sweet couple has only to fear Angelica’s tendency to jump to conclusions and hope they can un-complicate matters afterward.
Sweet short romance
To Complicate Matters
Karina Rubenski is forced to abandon her life in Miami to assume a new identity under the guise of Leah. Nestled in a small village in upstate NY, the US Marshal assured her she’d be safe. Still, she looks over her shoulder, fearful that one day her past and present may collide.
Phillip Zellmer didn’t expect a challenge when he hired Leah to work at his NY hangar. No one moved him like this in years. Yet Phillip has an identity secret of his own, and he fears the day Leah discovers the truth. When she does, will Phillip survive beneath the rubble?
A mother’s spiritual awakening catapults a stranger into the mix who bears an uncanny resemblance to the witness. Soon their lives intertwine like a threefold cord—with a match lit at both ends.
Will Leah survive long enough to find hope Through a Shattered Image?

Suspenseful excitement from the very first page leads you into the life of twenty-eight-year old Karina Rubenski--her completely new shell of a life, that is, in the witness protection program. Characters are well-developed, and the storyline is peeled back one layer at a time, at just the right speed. This is a superb crime novel with a strong blend of Christian values. Widrick includes several good twists of events, and answers all of your questions, leaving you with the satisfaction of a great read. I look forward to more from this author!
