is introducing
The Perfect Match
(Tyndale House January 1, 2009)
by
Susan May Warren
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Susan grew up in Wayzata, a suburb of Minneapolis, and became an avid camper from an early age. Her favorite fir-lined spot is the north shore of Minnesota is where she met her husband, honeymooned and dreamed of living.
The north woods easily became the foundation for her first series, The Deep Haven series, based on a little tourist town along the shores of Lake Superior. Her first full-length book, Happily Ever After, became a Christy Award Finalist published in 2004 with Tyndale/Heartquest.
As an award winning author, Susan returned home in 2004, to her native Minnesota after serving for eight years with her husband and four children as missionaries with SEND International in Far East Russia. She now writes full time from Minnesota’s north woods and the beautiful town that she always dreamed of living in.
You can sample a chapter of each and every one of Susan’s novels, on her website, HERE.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Ellie Karlson is new to Deep Haven. As the town’s interim fire chief, she is determined to lead the local macho fire crew in spite of their misconceptions about her. But when someone begins setting deadly fires, Ellie faces the biggest challenge of her life. Especially when sparks fly with one of the volunteers on her crew: Pastor Dan Matthews. As Ellie battles to do her job and win the respect of her crew, she finds that there is one fire she can’t fight—the one Dan has set in her heart.
(This book is the repackaged edition published in 2004)

Romantic Times Magazine:
Vibrant characters and vivid language zoom this action-packed romance to the top of the charts. This is a one-sitting read –once you pick it up, you won’t want to put it down.
MY REVIEW:
I just received this book and have not had a chance to finish reading it. I read it several years ago but don’t recall enough to review it properly. I will say that I have never met a book by Susan May Warren that I didn’t enjoy and I have read nearly all of them. So far The Perfect Match has just the right amount of romantic tension and suspense to hold the reader’s interest. I would recommend The Perfect Match and all of Susan’s other books.
GIVEAWAY:
