"Three Little Words" by Melissa Tagg

I first became interested in checking out Melissa Tagg's stories when she began blogging with some of my other favorite authors over at The GROVE. I attended their Facebook launch party and was so impressed with all the ladies. Melissa really caught my eye, and when she released this free Kindle novella earlier this month, I scooped it up.

"Three Little Words" tells the story of Ava, who is running into only closed doors as she chases the big dream of becoming the first female to join a college football coaching staff. Even her small alma mater is hesitant to bring her on. When her path crosses with Seth, her former college rival in their He Says/She Says column in the campus newspaper, a friendship kindles for the first time.

When not rapid-firing e-mails to Ava, Seth is working on remodeling an old business in his Iowa hometown and turning it into a restaurant. He's had a lot of people in his life who failed to keep their commitments, and he is determined not to follow in their footsteps. As the grand opening of his restaurant draws near, Seth is also planning to propose to his long-time and long-distance girlfriend. But when Maggie doesn't show up and Ava does, he finds himself battling his stubborn determination to keep to his predetermined track with a new attraction.

I enjoyed the story and will definitely be watching for more of Melissa's releases, as well as continuing to follow her on The GROVE. If you are looking for a short and sweet story about finding how God's plans for us are better than anything we could plan ourselves, "Three Little Words" could be a fit for you!
