JustRead Tours Blog Tour: A Slight Change of Plans by Denise M. Colby

A Slight Change of Plans JustRead Blog Tour

Welcome to the Blog Tour for A Slight Change of Plans by Denise M. Colby, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!



A Slight Change of Plans

Title: A Slight Change of Plans
Series: Best-Laid Plans #2
Author:
Denise M. Colby
Publisher:
Scrivenings Press
Release Date:
May 27, 2025
Genre:
Christian Historical Romance

She believes she doesn’t matter. 

Jenny Millard’s hopes for security and stability as a schoolmarm out west are dashed when her schoolhouse closes, and no positions are available nearby. With only enough money for a one-way train fare, Jenny heads to her friend’s home uncertain of her next step.  

His scars have made him an unlovable outcast. 

Newcomer Ren Lyman prefers to keep to himself, hiding in the back of the blacksmith shop to avoid the stares at the scars left by a childhood accident. When he comes across a lost stranger, he’s surprised when she doesn’t recoil at his appearance, and even more so at his eagerness to assist her. 

As Jenny settles into the welcoming, but small, town of Washton, she can’t help but come across Ren, especially since his daily constitutional takes him along the same path. It doesn’t take long for them to form a connection that breaks down the walls erected by years of hurt. But when strange occurrences unsettle the townspeople, it seems their chance at happiness might be at risk.  

Will Jenny and Ren discover that they’re enough—for God, and each other?  



Christian Historical Romance is a favorite genre of mine. A Slight Change of Plans by Denise M. Colby is the latest in this genre that I have read. It is Book 2 in the Best Laid Plans series. 

I was captivated by the storyline from the very first pages. The main characters are Jenny Millard and Ren Lyman. Jenny's dreams of being a SchoolMarm changed on short notice. She pivots her plans and decides to go to Washton, a small, quaint town where her friends lives. Ren lives in Washton and loves his Blacksmith Shop, his hiding place from others. Ren is intrigued by the new girl who has arrived in town. I LOVE the unexpected connection that Jenny and Ren experience as they get to know one another. Ren discovers that "beauty" isn't on the outside, as he realizes that Jenny sees past his scars he has. Jenny and Ren both has struggles from their past, it was heartwarming to see them look to each other for support. More importantly the growth in their faith and relying on God was amazing. The book is one of Faith, Overcoming Obstalces, and God's plan is always better then our own. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Historical Romance. WONDERFUL BOOK!
