ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Rachel Hauck is a forty-something, a child of the '60's, '70's, '80's, '90's and '00's, who roller skated through the '70's into the '80's with Farrah Fawcet hair and a three-speed orange Camero. She graduated from Ohio State University (Go Buckeyes!) with a degree in Journalism. After graduation, she hired on at Harris Publishing as a software trainer, determined to see the world. But, she's traveled to Ireland, Spain, Venezuela, Mexico, Australia, Canada and the U.S. from California to Maine.
Rachel met Tony, her husband, in '87, at church, of all places. They married in '92.
They don't have any children of their own, just lots of kids-in-the-Lord and they love them all. However, they do have two very spoiled dogs, and a very demanding cat.
With a little help from my friends, my first book was published in ' 04, Lambert's Pride, a romance novel. My current release is Sweet Caroline from Thomas Nelson. Romantic Times Book Club gave both books their highest rank of 4.5 stars, with Love Starts With Elle being honored as Top Pick!
ABOUT THE BOOK
Elle's living the dream-but is it her dream or his? Elle loves life in Beaufort, South Carolina-lazy summer days on the sand bar, coastal bonfires, and dinners with friends sharing a lifetime of memories. And she's found her niche as the owner of a successful art gallery too. Life is good.
Then the dynamic pastor of her small town church sweeps her off her feet. She's never known a man like Jeremiah-one who breathes in confidence and exhales all doubt. When he proposes in the setting sunlight, Elle hands him her heart on a silver platter.
But Jeremiah's just accepted a large pastorate in a different state. If she's serious about their relationship, Elle will take "the call," too, leaving behind the people and place she loves so dearly. Elle's friendship with her new tenant, widower Heath McCord, and his young daughter make things even more complicated.
Is love transferrable across the miles? And can you take it with you when you go?

Just got the book yesterday, and stayed up way too late devouring it. But, as always, her books do not disappoint....aside from the far fetched notion that Florida State should win over Florida in football, LOL;)
On a more serious note, this was a great story, with an even better lesson to be reminded of.
Mine's up. I LOVED this book!!!
My post is up. :)Marci
Posted, Reviewed, and Pinged:-)

Another review hits cyber-space!
My post is up from the hotel lobby of the Days Inn in Syracuse - Exit 35 off I-90. That's a long way from home for this Georgia girl! Somebody let me know if I need to do anything else or fix anything.
Note to self - Don't be an idiot and start something new that has a deadline when you have a trip planned up the entire east coast of the USA. Dimwit! :o)
mine's up
I've posted. Just got the book.

Posted with a review. Trying to ping but Technorati isn't cooperating!
Mine is scheduled for the morning. I'd really hoped to read it in time to review for the tour, but alas, it just arrived yesterday and I read slow =P
Mine's slated to go live on the 4th. I'm off 'work' tomorrow, so I'm getting it done early. Praise God for Blogger's scheduled postings. I'd be lost without that feature!
Also featuring a 5-question interview with Rachel AND a book giveaway.
Drop by and check them out.
