The Key to Everything by Beverly Varnado

If the story could still be strong without the romantic element, or the major conflict/challenge of the plot could still work out if the main characters were just friends, it's not really a romance.īecause Connie's career and her fixated dependency on planning everything are the crux of the plot, I'd call this women's fiction. In a romance novel, the romantic relationship is the story, while everything else is secondary. The vibrant blue and blend of the businesslike and small-town feel of the book cover drew me to this ChristFic novel I found categorized as a romance, but I wouldn't call it that.
