Book Description
Leah It took me a while – most of my life, in fact – to decide that my hometown of Good Grief, Idaho is the best place in the world to live. But, I have and I love it…except for one thing. My boss. Okay, so the man is good at his job, we just have a tendency to disagree on how much activity the seniors at our assisted living center want to have. I, personally, think they’d love to go on a whitewater rafting trip. The Boss nixed that idea before my words landed in the space between his ears. He sees my mouth moving and just says “no.” (I think he grew up in the olden days and took Nancy Reagan’s slogan to heart.) And just for the record my boss is smart (very smart!) and handsome and funny and totally NOT my type. But, we need to convince seniors that retiring in Good Grief, Idaho is a great idea, and I have plans that will make that happen, if I can only get my boss to go along with them. With that in mind, I’m embarking on a new mission remembering that honey catches more flies than vinegar AND honey tends to make an already bad relationship even more awkward when worn topically over two human bodies that happen to be tied together…that one is going down as an experience I’d rather not have shared with my boss. Doug What can I say? She’s a hurricane. Also, I think we might have broken some kind of workplace harassment rules when, after being tied up and slathered with honey, I kissed her. But a man can only take so much. I guess it says something about the kiss when I have to admit, I bought another gallon of honey and borrowed my brother’s handcuffs – all (mostly) in the name of saving Good Grief’s senior living center. Listen to Jay Dyess perform this book - and many of Jessie's other books - for FREE on YouTube on the Say with Jay channel. Reviews for Me and the Helpful Hurricane: ★★★★★ "Jessie has written a laugh out loud story. She is super clever and funny. She keeps you wanting to see what will happen next. The characters are endearing, and surprise.... Jessie makes an appearance in this book which is so fun." - KKRG ★★★★★ "Another good story full of chuckles. I enjoyed reading this book very much and recommend it all who like to read a well written story with love." - Jim ★★★★★ "This was a fast paced story full of characters! I loved how the author included herself in the story and in such a delightful way! Jessie Gussman is my go to author!" - JaquieOh ★★★★★ "I love, love, love the seniors at Cherry Tree Senior Center. What a hoot, they are adorable and possibly deadly, all at the same time, and Agnes’s bucket list is destined to lead them astray, but how fun might that be?" - swavelykid ★★★★★ "You giggle and laugh and just as you think it’s too silly Jessie turns it into the sweetest love scene you didn’t see coming." - Wren Books in the Sweet, Small Town Romantic Comedy in Good Grief, Idaho series: Me and the Cute Catastrophe Me and the Tidy Tornado Me and the Helpful Hurricane Me and the Sweet Snowstorm Me and the Dreamy Doomsday

Tammy Fry I thought it would be a good idea to buy a dog…I ended up with an ATV I have no idea how to drive. I’m not sure how this happened, especially since the man I purchased it from, Justin Gabriel, introduced himself by running his remote-controlled monster pickup into my high heeled shoe. I’m serious, studious and a high school English teacher at Good Grief High. Needless to say, Justin Gabriel is not my type. Except I also somehow managed to get myself signed up for a charity run riding the ATV I’ve purchased but have never started. Mr. Gabriel is going to teach me how to drive.

Can't get enough of these sisters, so glad there's more stories to come! It can be read on its own but I'm sure that for you, like me, one won't be enough!!" - Gretan ★★★★★ "This is a fun book to read!

Book Description
Claire HardingI live in Idaho. (Yes, potatoes. *eye roll* Can we talk about something else?) And I love it here. Small town values galore and it's right where I want to raise my girls after my jerk ex traded me in for a "younger, newer model" (his words, not mine).My mom's the volunteer fire chief in our town and I'm pretty happy hanging out with the auxiliary at the fire hall and doing her grunt work - NOT fighting fires, because, please, I read, love science and my idea of a lot of exercise is having to walk up the stairs twice in the morning before I send my girls off to school and leave for my job as a home nurse.I guess it's kind of weird that I also coach basketball. Long story.I was pretty happy with my life until the hot shot, all-state baller from my teen years moved back in next door. (I babysat him, yes, but I never changed his diapers. Just wanted to be clear about that.)Guess who's now the assistant b-ball coach? Logic would say me - especially since I coached my entire first year holding the play book upside down (it turned out to be an old football playbook from the '80s, so it's not like it mattered which way I held it) but the accurate answer is Trey Haywood, my all-star neighbor, and I'm honestly not sure which of us is more upset about it.Anyway, the team was trying to set us up (girls, they're such romantics) and I don't think they would have succeeded, but in celebration of breaking our 37 game losing streak, they locked Trey and me in the septic system control room. That changed everything. Not in a good way.TreyYeah. What she said.And...when I first saw her again, I thought she was a catastrophe. New thought post septic control: she's a cute catastrophe. (And, holy man, can she kiss.)

Book Description
They both want to make things work, but will their children come between them? Gage has been happy in Blueberry Beach, living above the store on the Main Street, working from home and raising his two girls. Alone. The tightknit community supports each other and his daughters enjoy working in the ice cream shop and playing in the beach band. When Zariah and her teenage niece, Macie, move in across the street, opening a clothing boutique, Gage's attraction to her is immediate. Their relationship seems too good to be true. Or maybe it's Macie that's too good to be true. When Macie is caught in a crime spree that includes stealing cars, destroying property and dealing drugs, the small community is shocked and appalled. Will Gage and Zariah's relationship be able to weather this storm? Will Blueberry Beach ever feel safe again? Reviews for Beautiful Forevers: ★★★★★ "The book was just all consuming, heart wrenching, wonderful, everyone should read this one, it speaks to your heart like no other story I have ever read." - KRP ★★★★★ "God's grace is one of Gussman's favorite themes and she portrays it perfectly in Beautiful Forevers. Grace isn't a magic wand. It can't negate the harm done or whisk away the consequences, but it can show the way forward to healing and redemption. I have loved all of the Blueberry Beach novels, but Beautiful Forevers is my current favorite." - Charlene ★★★★★ "Wow - This is way different than the books I've been reading. It also deals with issues we parents pray we'll never have to deal with. But life happens. And grace is there. And life goes on." - Kindle Customer ★★★★★ "This is such an amazing story!!! I love how Ms. Gussman's romances intermingle the problems of real life with the love story. I suppose I feel that way because that's the way it truly happens. Her stories always read more like a glimpse into someone's life, than a fictional tale!" - Ballet in AK ★★★★★ "Wow. I am, as always, blown away by the emotion and real-ness of Jessie Gussman's works. This book is such a great example of how someone (a teen, especially) may deal with grief. I was floored." - Janet Books in the Blueberry Beach series: Yesterday's Treasures Tomorrow's Blessings Beautiful Forevers Precious Memories Misty Mornings Sweet Afternoons

Book Description
From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M

Book Description
Kimber I’m a city girl and proud of it. Chicago is my hometown and I’m in my element surrounded by people and buildings and busyness. Actually, my business – my vlog – depends on my interactions with people. You can’t go viral talking about your pet turtle. Well, maybe some people can, but that’s not how I became a highly paid influencer. I was happy to use my influence to help my grandmother, Agnes, save her assisted care facility. I thought I was going to hate being out in the wilderness for days on end…bugs and bears and no internet or sushi bars. To my surprise, I kind of…liked it. To my further surprise, I found myself wanting to linger around our tour guide, Bain. He’s a rugged, outdoorsy type – not the kind of guy I’ve ever found attractive. But he was so good at what he did – just tough and rugged and unafraid of anything. Who doesn’t find confidence and competence in a man attractive? Regardless, while I am going back out to Idaho to attend a wedding, and some small part of me wants to see Bain again, the bigger, more sophisticated part of me knows that there will never be anything between us unless of course, The Snowstorm of the Century happens to occur while I’m there and we take a snowmobile ride, get lost, find our way to a remote cabin and ride out the storm in blissful (or not so blissful) seclusion. But, come on, what are the odds of that happening? Bain Pretty good, it turns out. Back east, I’ve heard they call those late spring snows “sugar snows” because of the maple syrup and such. For me, here in Idaho, I just call it what it is: perfect timing for me and my sweet snowstorm. Reviews for Me and the Sweet Snowstorm: ★★★★★ "Each book in the Good Grief, Idaho series is full of fascinating characters, wonderful humour with and a sweet, unexpected romance. This book is no exception." - Rebmay ★★★★★ "...if you want a heart melting story about two very different people who find out that you really can build on feelings of attraction, you'll like this book. ." - Alison ★★★★★ "This is another wonderful installment by Jessie Gussman about a colorful cast of characters in Good Grief, Idaho. It makes me wish I could pack a bag and go visit this bunch - especially Miss Agnes! She's the best!" - Tracey ★★★★★ "I thought my favorite thing about romance stories was watching the couple recognize they loved each other, but I realize that my favorite thing is watching them figure out how to be together." - MaryEllen ★★★★★ "Oh my gosh, I just love Good Grief, Idaho. All the characters are lovable and maybe slightly crazy." - Lucia Books in the Sweet, Small Town Romantic Comedy in Good Grief, Idaho series: Me and the Cute Catastrophe Me and the Tidy Tornado Me and the Helpful Hurricane Me and the Sweet Snowstorm Me and the Dreamy Doomsday
