A Southern Breeze Series – Book One

Sarah Crawford wants more from life than to attend the wedding of her ex-fiancée. An unexpected inheritance in South Carolina comes at the perfect time, just as Sarah is willing to use any excuse to get out of town. When she meets potential business partner Jared Benton and discovers that a house is part of the inheritance, she is sure that God has been preparing her for this time through a recurring dream.

But will a dream about an antebellum mansion, many rooms to be explored, and a man with dark brown eyes give her the confidence to take a leap of faith, leaving friends, family, and her job behind?

About the Author

Regina Rudd Merrick has written all her life. From the scribbling of a young child writing "I love you" notes to her mother, to the teenager who tried to write a more satisfying sequel to Gone with the Wind, she developed a distinct love of "happily ever after." That love of fiction parlayed into a career as a librarian, and she is the former director of a small public library in Marion, KY. She began attending local writing workshops and continued to hone her craft by writing several short and novel-length fan-fiction pieces published online. In fact, it was after writing Christian-themed stories based on a television show that ended too soon that she decided to pursue original fiction. With encouragement from some writing friends, she attended her first ACFW conference and met like-minded writers that were as concerned with building others up as with their own careers. Regina is now an active member of the Ken-Ten Writing Group, which has participants from Western Kentucky and Western Tennessee, and helps plan the group's yearly conference. She is an instrumentalist and vocalist in the music program of her church and has participated in many areas of ministry over the years. Married for 30+ years, Regina and her husband, Todd, have two grown daughters who share her love of music, writing, and the arts. They live in Marion, in Western Kentucky, in a county where there are, literally, more deer than people. Her hobbies include watching other people work on houses on HGTV, decorating, antiquing (otherwise known as "picking"), cooking, reading, playing music, and dreaming of the beaches of South Carolina.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting and a very satisfying journey

If you enjoy stories about not being totally satisfied with where you are in life, but not quite sure how to change that, you'll love how this story shows you how faith in God and his plan for you can bring about blessings. If you've had a relationship you would like to forget and crave a meaningful bond, you'll love this book. What if someone dropped the chance of a lifetime for both in your lap? That's my only hint - no spoilers here. This is a journey you must travel on your own to fully appreciate it.

Regina will guide you down the path but will allow you to join the discussion of decisions needing to be made between the characters through questions of their own, along with the abiding faith that God will see them through anything and everything. The characters are well developed with strong values. Jared is to die for, and Sarah is one spunky lady. Most people you meet here are very likeable with just a hint of some who are not so likeable, but not without redemption.

Another joy for me. I got to visit a part of the country I love. It makes me want to take a road trip. I would love to hear some more about these wonderful characters and follow on their ongoing journey.

This is a story with a lot of faith, spirit, and heart. Read this book - no way will you be sorry you did.

Carolina Dream, by Regina Rudd Merrick, is a lovely romantic story set along the miles of sandy beaches and bright beautiful skies of the Carolina coast.
A hot cup of tea, and perhaps a warm blanket, are all you will need as you settle in to read the tale of Sarah and Jared. You will enjoy following along on their journey as they sort out their lives and make their way toward a fulfilling and satisfactory ending. I enjoyed this book so much, I am ready for Regina Rudd Merrick’s next tale. Mary Kay Tuberty

I loved this book and was sad when it ended. I really cared about the characters and what happened to them. The setting of the coastal town and the antebellum mansion added to the romance of the story. Way to go, Regina! I can't believe this is your first book! Well done!

I enjoyed the storyline in this Christian fiction book. The characters were well rounded, and the plot intrigued me so much that I had a "mega reading" session and finished it one afternoon :)
