January Sanders grew up believing karma was more reliable than an imaginary higher power. But after suffering her worst heartbreak in 29 years, she’s open to just about anything, including taking a temporary position at her aunt’s church. Keeping her lack of faith a secret, January’s determination to use her photographic memory to help Grace Community’s overworked staff, all while scraping herself off rock bottom.
What she doesn’t count on is meeting the church’s handsome and charming guitarist, who not only is a strong believer but has also dedicated his life to Christian music. It’s a match set for disaster, and yet January has no ability to stay away, even if it means pretending to have faith in a God she doesn’t believe in.
Only this time, keeping secrets isn’t as easy as she thought it would be. Especially when she’s constantly running into her aunt’s landscape architect, who seems to know everything about her past and present sins and makes no apologies about pushing her to deal with feelings she’d rather keep buried.
Torn between two worlds incapable of coexisting, can January find the healing that’s eluded her or will her resistance to the truth ruin any chance of happiness?

Love and a Little White Lie Review:
Reading this book was like tasting cotton candy at the carnival. It just makes you feel good all over.
The author hooked me to the story from its unique setting from the first page itself. Jan is running away from her past and her storyline immediately intrigued me. Initially, the author introduces a lot of characters Cameron, Brent, Nate, Eric, Thomas, Dillon, and Ralph that took time to adjust with. But as the story progresses, you get to know all of them. More than Jan, I loved Dillon in the story. He has a realistic, no-nonsense attitude but immediately captures the reader’s heart.
There are so many instances that stood out for me. I loved the scenes where Jan goes to read for Ms. Cox, and how she tries to save Ralph and Victoria’s marriage. Jan is a sweet character who is trying to find her way in life. And let’s not forget the main highlight of the story, Jan and Dillon. In fact, I felt conflicted between Dillon and Cameron because I loved Jan with both of them initially. What’s really interesting about this book is that there are no negative characters as such. All the characters you meet are very charming and have valid reasons for behaving a certain way. Moreover, I liked Darcy’s character and her history with Cameron. Similarly, I also loved Jan’s relationship with Doreen.
However, at times the story felt a bit slow and repetitious. While I loved Jan’s romance with the leads, there were times when it lagged. But apart from that, this turned out to be a wonderful, feel-good romance that just puts a smile on your face.
