Author: Jessica Kate

There’s a fine line between love and hate . . . And for the last seven years, Natalie Groves has hated Jeremy Walters.

Natalie Groves was meant for great things. But soon after her fiancé left, Natalie’s father was diagnosed with cancer. Suddenly her grand plans evaporated . . . and God felt very far away.

Fast-forward seven years, and an internship presents Natalie a chance at her destiny—but she needs a job to work around it. And the only offer available is worse than a life sentence. Her ex Jeremy, now back in town, is desperate for help with his infant son and troubled teenage niece, Lili. And Natalie may be just the one to help Jeremy . . . provided they don’t kill each other in the process.

When Jeremy and Natalie join forces, sparks fly. But will either of them get burned along the way?

To be quite honest, I had a hard time really getting into the book. I wanted to put the book on the shelf 1/3 of the way into it, but I continued on. I am glad I did, because for me the storyline changed and it became more interesting.

Love and Other Mistakes is Christian Romance/Fiction and at first I wasn't getting that from the book, but the story between Natalie and Jem gets quite interesting. Jem and Natalie were engaged to be married, but the relationship came to an end. Natalie has a hard time recovering from the break up, even 7 yrs later. Jem returns to town, as a Single Dad, and asks Natalie to be his Nanny. She thought he was kidding at first. Well, it turns out he wasn't and she accepts the job, as it is something she has always wanted to do. Jem is also taking care of his Lili. Lili has quite a few issues to overcome and relies on her faith and the church greatly.

Will Natalie and Jem rekindle their relationship? Will Lili get the help she needs to overcome some issues from the past? Grab a copy of the book and find out!! Though the book started out slow for me, it was a GREAT Read. Jessica Kate is a Debut Author and she really does a GREAT job on her first book! I hope there are more books to follow!

Australian author Jessica Kate writes inspirational romances with wit, sass, and grit. Jessica is a screenwriting groupie, cohost of the StoryNerds vlog and podcasts, and her favorite place to be—apart from Mum and Dad’s back deck—is a theme park. She has traveled North America and Australia, and samples her favorite pasta wherever she goes—but the best (so far) is still the place around the corner from her corporate day job as a training developer. She loves watching sitcoms with her housemates and being a leader in a new church plant.

Jessica Kate brings rom-com fans a reminder that love has its own timing in her breakout novel, Love and Other Mistakes. Kate is best known in the book world as the cohost of StoryNerds, a vlog and podcast about all things books and pop culture, recorded from her home city of Toowoomba, Australia. Now, she’s carving her own place in the Christian fiction arena and helping to fill the rom-com genre gap with a novel full wit, sass, and grit.

More from Jessica

A romance that makes me laugh and snort my strawberry milkshake across the keyboard when I sneak in chapter at work – that’s just the best. My loftiest career aspiration is to create that experience for someone else. There can never be enough of those books in the universe, especially novels that include deep faith and emotion, as well. I adore love-hate romantic comedies like The Hating Game by Sally Thorne, and I spend my days dreaming up plotlines that force characters who hate each other to work together as a team. But, Natalie’s journey came from a real place for me—that feeling you’re missing out on your purpose and you don’t know how to fix it.
