About the Book



Title:
Genre: Contemporary Romance  
Release Date: November 1, 2017

Troublemaking never looked so good… When Dr. Alex Murdock is demoted to a university in rural Virginia, the last thing he expects to find is a future. But country charm never looks as good as it does on Rainey Mitchell. Rainey Mitchell doesn’t need a high-class flirt in her wounded world, but trouble and temptations wafts off the new professor as strong as his sandalwood-scented cologne. When circumstances thrust them together to save her tutoring clinic, can the troublemaker find the hero inside and encourage the reticent Rainey to open her heart again.

My Review: 
 Both "Charming the Troublemaker"  and  "A Twist of Faith" by Pepper Basham  in the  (Mitchell's Crossroads) series clearly shows readers that first assumptions are often wrong.  

"Charming the Troublemaker" is the second in the series and can be read and enjoyed without reading  "A Twist Of Faith" . I am glad I read "A Twist Of Faith" first because it first  introduces the reader to  Dr. Alex Murdock, who is the main male character in "Charming the Troublemaker"'

This story is a love story and a story about forgiveness and how sometimes things are not what they appeared.

really enjoyed reading these two stories and how a second chance at love and God can change people. 

Both of these books are about people who have had painful hurts.  

These stories also have children who help the hurting process as well as the landlady.  This landlady is amazing, I mean she has wonderful advice and she even cooks for the ones who lives in the house that is being lent out. 

So what do you need to have a really good read, if you want love, forgiveness, mystery, dislike of the hero and the heroine at first sight and children, and a dog who won't leave, you don't have to like any further because these two books have all these things and more.

I am giving "Charming the Troublemaker " five stars.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

Guest Post from Pepper Basham

I have a thing for underdogs. Misfits. Lots souls who desperately need to find where they belong. I can’t help it! Call it a ‘fix-it’ mentality or an awareness that God rescued me and now I want to rescue other people…even fictional characters, but I’m definitely a softy for those characters that people are less likely to root for. Catherine from The Thorn Bearer/Keeper became my first rescue…and I just HAD to find another. I guess that’s how Charming the Troublemaker came into existence. Dr. Alex Murdock desperately needed to be rescued. In a bad way. If you’ve had a chance to read my first book in the Mitchell’s Crossroads series, A Twist of Faith, you’ll know that Alex doesn’t seem to be made up of much hero material. He’s a flirt, a little arrogant, and…well, kind of like a lost puppy. As book 1 grew and came to a close, I knew Alex and Rainey’s story would be next…but I immediately ran into a real problem. Who in the world was Alex Murdock? We really didn’t get to know him very much in book 1. He zoomed in a few times, ruffling feathers and then finally showing off some interesting kindness/compassion in the end, but…he was still a big-time flirt. So the question emerged: Can a flirt be a hero? What is Alex hiding behind that ready smile and sense of humor? Why does he seem so lost? The answers were surprising!! Just wait. The Mitchell family draw him right in, as they did with Dee, and his world is forever changed. And then there’s Rainey. Strong-willed and independent, she is deeply wounded by her ex-husband’s betrayal. Though she gives off all these ‘confident’ vibes, she hides her insecurities behind a tough exterior in a desire to keep people at a distance – well, everyone except her family. Alex rocks her world with his ready charm. And she sees beyond the plastic grin to recognize another wounded soul. Throwing them together into a book has been a hilarious and heart-stirring adventure, I wasn’t prepared to encounter. They’re so much fun! AND…he’s ADORKABLE!! Seriously!! He is SUCH a dork, but makes me grin. And…he looks like Armie Hammer 😉 Let me just give you a hint to some of my favorite scenes: Anything with Sarah! Underoos All of the scenes in Rainey’s house And those in Mama Mitchell’s Okay, I like the WHOLE STORY…and I can’t wait to see what you think too.
