February Romance Novel Event: Teacher's Plans by JoAnn Carter

When Amanda Manning, an exhausted, short-handed special education teacher, is given an assistant, things don't turn out as she planned. Her new assistant is anything but what Amanda expected—most strikingly, a male.

Tracy Atkins secured a job as a teacher's assistant, but will he be able to secure the hand of the woman he is falling in love with? Especially when she finds out about the secret he is hiding?

Come join their adventure as both Amanda and Tracy learn that God's plans are far better than their own. (Jeremiah 29:11)

Read an excerpt!
Amanda reached out to shake his hand when his words hit her full force. She withdrew her hand like she just touched fire and squeaked, “You’re who?”



“I’m your new assistant. The principal said to meet you here.”



Silence engulfed the room. Tracy shifted his weight to one hip, looking slightly uncomfortable for the first time. “He said you would be expecting me.”



Amanda tried to cover up her shock. “Um, right…it’s just…” You’re a man—not just any man—a drop dead gorgeous man! She felt like she was drowning with no way out; she needed time to gather her wits. “Were you by any chance at an interview in the Board of Education building on June 13th?”



Tracy laughed. “I think my first impression of you was correct after all.”

Hey JoAnn,

As a teacher (enjoying a snow day...yeah) I especially enjoyed Teacher's Plans. Everything you write is great, but this one has a special place in my hard.

Highly recommended...simply lovely!

Hey, JoAnn & Cheryl - great spotlight!

Here's my review for Teacher's Plans from Amazon.com:

Amanda finds her heart swept away by her appealing new teaching assistant Tracy in a poignant story of a blooming romance between two very appealing, real characters. Amanda and Tracey are gifted, faith-filled, and are following the call God places on their hearts, but there are surprising twists and turns that will leave you on the edge of your seat, and very glad you read Teachers Plans. Put JoAnn Carter at the top of your `must read' list!

Hi again, JoAnn...

I just noticed my typo (snow-induced writing coma LOL) I meant...Teacher's Plans has a special place in my HEART. And it does.

I wish you the best!

I've had Teacher's Plans on my TBR list for a while. I think I better move it up so I can get to it! Take care, all.

Cheryl,

Oh, wow! This sounds like an amazing story and one that I would really enjoy!!

Sounds like a wonderful story. It's about time there was some romance in what is traditionally a fairly single-sex workplace.
