The Trouble with Playing Cupid by Tamara Philip

Explore the complexity of human nature and the yearning we all have for love, hope, truth, purpose and especially joy. Fall in love with Niederbipp and its people as they remember Isaac. With the help of his new friend Amy, Jake begins to piece together the secrets of life Isaac lived by and shared with all who knew him. These mugs hold the keys to unlocking Jake’s understanding of the man he has come to replace. As Jake begins his work in the old studio, he becomes aware of a unique collection of mugs hanging from an overhead beam. He applies for the job, despite his plans for the summer and to his surprise, is awarded the Pottery, an apartment and a vast collection of old pots.

For the past 8 years, Jake has dreamed of being a village potter. The town of Niederbipp, Pennsylvania, is looking for a new potter to replace Isaac, the seventh potter in a long string of potters reaching back to 1717. Jake, a soon to be college graduate stumbles upon an ad in an art magazine.

Remembering Isaac: The Wise and Joyful Potter of Niederbipp by Ben Benhunin

While Bingley takes an immediate liking to the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, Darcy has difficulty adapting to local society and repeatedly clashes with the second-eldest Bennet daughter, Elizabeth. Set in England in the early 19th century, Pride and Prejudice tells the story of Mr and Mrs Bennet’s five unmarried daughters after the rich and eligible Mr Bingley and his status-conscious friend, Mr Darcy, have moved into their neighborhood. I’d love to add a few more to my list! Note: Amazon affiliate links used in this post. Have you read any of these books? Better yet, do you have any family-friendly romantic stories that you could recommend? Add them in the comment section below. Since I’ve been reading a ton while I workout at the gym, I’m hoping that I can cross several of these off my list in 2015. I’ve read a few, but the rest are now on my to-read list. Here are the 15 good, clean romance novels that I collected. PG romances are hard to find, so I asked a bunch of friends for recommendations of books that they’ve read and loved. I prefer a good, clean romance that I can openly discuss afterwards with friend or my mom…or even one of my teenage daughters. I love reading, and I love a good romance, but I don’t love that most of the romantic novels I pick up tend to be a little too graphic for my taste.
