第1章

To my father and mother, Lee and Ruby Hammel, who taught me to love life and serve God. To my children, Sara, Jed, Eliza, Jason, and Samantha, who inspire me every day. And to Myke and Jo Ellen Farricker, my business partners of twenty-five years. Jo Ellen left us way too soon, and we miss her spirit encouraging us to change the world one person at a time.

—LAURY

To my father, who taught me about business, my mother, who taught me about service, and my husband, who supported me.

    Love Like That (The Romance Chronicles—Book #2)

    "Sophie Love's ability to impart magic to her readers is exquisitely wrought in powerfully evocative phrases and descriptions….[This is] the perfect romance or beach read, with a difference: its enthusiasm and beautiful descriptions offer an unexpected attention to the complexity of not just evolving love, but evolving psyches. It's a delightful recommendation for romance readers looking for a touch more complexity from their romance reads."--Midwest Book Review (Diane Donovan re: For Now and Forever)"A very well written novel, describing the struggle of a woman to find her true identity. The author did an amazing job with the creation of the characters and her description of the environment. The romance is there, but not overdosed. Kudos to the author for this amazing start of a series that promises to be very entertaining."--Books and Movies Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re: For Now and Forever)
