My Thoughts on Waitin’ On Paige

Secrets check.  Stubborn check.  I may not have secrets covered, but I definitely have the stubborn going on.  And part of my stubbornness is that I refuse to read books of a series out of order!  This is book four in a series, so please go into that with your head on straight and read the entire series!  Now, that said, the author does say that these can be read as stand-alone novels (but who does that?) if you’re a psycho like that.  

This is a fun romance novel.  It’s also a second-chance at love story.  Paige and Tavo get another chance to work things out.  But can they?  Tavo is struggling to get back to a normal life.  He’s got secrets that he doesn’t want to share and that he’s sure will drive a wedge between them.  Paige is starting a brand new career as an events planner, and she’s got the stubbornness on her side (or is it really against her).  

I thoroughly enjoyed these characters.  I loved getting to know them.   They really came off the page and reached out to me.  The whole series is that way, though.  This author has done such an amazing job writing the characters as real people who are down-to-earth but also pop off the page and right into your living room.  

I’m sad to see this series end and can’t wait to see what the author has up her sleeve next!

About the Author of Waitin’ On Paige

Mary Pat Johns’ writing career began once she retired from teaching speech and writing. She has written devotions for an online publication, had short stories published by Chicken Soup for the Soul, and wrote a column for the Victoria Advocate, a local newspaper.

Countin’ On Jesse, her first novel, debuted in 2023, and books 2 & 3 of the Valiant series, Lovin’ On Red and Glitter and the Grouch, were released in 2024. God put it in her heart to tell stories of brave veterans and their reintegration into civilian life after suffering the traumas of war.

She writes Christian romance because when we see life through the hope of Christ’s sacrifice, we find that happily ever after is God’s idea.

More from Mary Pat

The ending of a series is always bittersweet. I will miss the characters, but I remind myself that they are in a good place. Kind of like my grown children. They have their own lives to live, and I’m not as “hands-on” as I was during their formative years.

If you weren’t around for the beginning of this series, no worries. Each book tells its own story. In the meantime, stay tuned. I have other stories to write. That said, I probably won’t wander too far from Valiant—the strong, safe place where it all began.
