Need a Good Read For the Summer? Try a Christy Winner

The association of Christian publishers announced their 2010 fiction books awards, The Christy Awards. I checked with my public library and found several. I figure that if they won the award, they are good reads. Of course, I'll make my own decision after I read them. I think I'll start with the Contemporary Romance winner. With 100 degree days ahead, staying in the air conditioning and reading a good book sounds inviting. Here's the winners.
