"I need you," the tall, good-looking missionary had said . . . but he'd been speaking to Josey's entire church at the time. Had she taken it too literally? Because she was no longer in Gull Lake, Minnesota. She was a missionary. In Russia. For a year. True, Josey had wanted to skip town when her sis...
‘I need you,’ the tall, ridiculously good-looking missionary had declared, his words reverberating through the entire church. Wait—he wasn’t talking just to Josey? Oops, because suddenly she’s not in Gull Lake, Minnesota anymore. Instead, she’s found herself in Moscow, Russia, as a missionary for a whole year. Oy!
Really, she just wanted to escape her chaotic hometown, where her sister ran off and married her ex, and her heart still pines for Chase, ‘the one that got away.’ But life has a funny way of throwing snowballs, and now she’s in Russia, spreading the good word and navigating a land of vodka, fur hats, and passionate hearts.
As she immerses herself in the vibrant Russian culture, from haggling for fruit at the Moscow market to braving the icy weather, Chase’s memory lingers…and just when she starts to think she’s finally moving on, fate throws them back together. Will Josey take a chance on love and rekindle the flame with her hometown sweetheart, or will she embrace the allure of Russia, and a new love that sets her heart ablaze?
With Susan May Warren’s signature blend of humor and heart, “Everything’s Coming up Josey” is a vintage rom-com that will leave you laughing, swooning, and rooting for Josey’s happily ever after in this hilarious and heartwarming tale.
