Aylesford Place Books
When best-selling mystery author Brad Forrester inherits his grandparents' home on Aylesford Place, he sees the sleepy street as the perfect place to hole up and write his next book. What he finds instead is a cock-eyed cul-de-sac full of zany, yet loveable characters including one vivacious redhead who may just be the love he's been looking for. Join Brad for a year of block parties, pranks, romance and the ever-present faith in action that flows through Aylesford Place, making it one street you'll never want to leave.
In this Second Book in a Humorous Christian Romance Series, the number of elderly people wielding paintball guns increases. This book has the same lovable characters finding themselves in different predicaments, and a few new ones join them. Like the first book, the second book starts out with everyone getting ready for Christmas, but Aylesford Park plays more of a role in this book, and the romance bug is biting big time.
The third book in this Humorous Christian Romance Series for all ages is a mixture of young love and nostalgic trips back through time. Residents of Aylesford Place are swept back into a time by Big Band music of the 1940s and rock and roll of the 1960s, getting behind the wheel of classic cars of the 1920s and 1930s, movies at the drive-in, and an older man's trip back to a fishing hole, where he teaches a young boy how to fish. The street's residents also learn about and begin to celebrate some little-known holidays, like Festival of Sleep Day, Umbrella Day, Backward Day, and Chocolate Cake Day, some with humorous consequences. When people aren't falling in love, looking back in time, celebrating holidays together, or attending to trivial matters, like work for those who do work, they take time to frolic in Brad and Amy's gigantic new outdoor pool, or take part in a competitive game of eXtreme croquet, which is this year's version of the street's fundraiser for the orphanage. It all adds up to a rollicking good time for all, told in a lighthearted manner that should put a smile on anyone's face.
Humor and touching moments abound in this fourth installment in this series about a neighborhood that everyone describes as the neighborhood in which they would like to live. That might be because of or in spite of the quirky characters who live there. This time a scavenger hunt and a surprise gift to everyone from the street's wealthiest neighbor replace the pink flamingo, older adults shooting paintball guns, and croquet in the snow of the first three books. But once again well-known and little-known holidays are celebrated by all, creating a delightful time for characters and readers alike.
