Annie Barnes, ten years younger, is a struggling single mom who dropped out of high school and lost both parents when she was young.<\/p>\n<p>When Tyler and Annie see each other for the first time at their kids\u2019 school, despite the difference in their ages and lifestyles, sparks fly.<\/p>\n<p>After they become better acquainted, Tyler proposes a Parent Pact. They each notice that their child likes the other parent, so they agree to become role models to each other\u2019s child and to fill one another\u2019s needs as single parents. Tyler offers Annie a job as his housekeeper, caring for his daughter and home in Redemption, PA. This includes a new car with prepaid gas credit card, money for food and clothes shopping. Tyler is immediately interested in Annie, but she has been hurt badly in the past and is therefore a bit more trepidacious about getting involved with him. But they enjoy each other\u2019s company and their bond grows: Tyler slowly learns that he shouldn\u2019t ignore his difficult past and there\u2019s more to life than money and social status. Annie starts to read Aesop fables, applies to college, and learns about etiquette.<\/p>\n<p>Author Laurie Kellogg tells this love story with ease while recognizing the real life glitches that come with a unique couple in love. Tyler and Annie prove that love can work regardless of age, background and life\u2019s complications. To paraphrase Tyler\u2019s sister in the book: \u201cIt\u2019s better to enjoy the cake today while it\u2019s here\u2026than when it\u2019s gone and you have none at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kellogg is a two-time winner and seven-time nominee for the Romance Writers of America\u00ae Golden Heart\u00ae award, the winner of Pacific Northwest Writers Association\u00ae Zola award, and a Romantic Times\u00ae American Title I finalist. The Parent Pact series further proves she is a forerunner of Romance Novels. &#8211; GoodbooksToday.com Reviews<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B009A2E168\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B009A2E168&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=kindle052-20\" target=\"_blank\">Start reading &#8220;The Parent Pact&#8221; on your Kindle in under a minute.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t have a Kindle? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B005CRQ4GU\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=kindle052-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B005CRQ4GU\" target=\"_blank\">Get your Kindle here<\/a> or read books on your computer or other mobile devices with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/feature.html\/?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=kindle052-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;docId=1000493771&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957\" target=\"_blank\">FREE Kindle Reading Apps<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00A7EPCY8\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=kindle052-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00A7EPCY8\" target=\"_blank\">. <\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=kindle052-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as4&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;ref=ss_til&amp;asins=1938618092\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Parent Pact<br \/>\nLaurie Kellogg (Author)<br \/>\nISBN: 978-1938618093<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodbookstoday.com\/authorservices\" target=\"_blank\">AUTHORS<br \/>\n(Sign up to be our &#8220;Book of the Week&#8221;)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/?page_id=224\" target=\"_blank\">GBT Gift Card Giveaway<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Earn 10 bonus chances to win 1 of 12 gift cards!<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Just leave a comment below saying what you think of this book.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"fcbk_share\"><div class=\"fcbk_button\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a name=\"fcbk_share\"\thref=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GBT-Kindle-Book-Club\/297949073623302\"\ttarget=\"blank\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"http:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/wp-content\/plugins\/facebook-button-plugin\/img\/standart-facebook-ico.jpg\" alt=\"Fb-Button\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"fcbk_like\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"fb-root\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#appId=224313110927811&amp;xfbml=1\"><\/script>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<fb:like href=\"https:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/the-parent-pact-by-laurie-kellogg\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"button_count\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" font=\"\"><\/fb:like>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Featured Book Review: The Parent Pact Laurie Kellogg (Author) ( 100+ Reviews ) The Parent Pact (Book Three of The Return to Redemption Series) is a love story about an unlikely pair of people who must overcome their differences to make a relationship work. 33 year-old Tyler Fitzpatrick is a successful businessman who rose from &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/the-parent-pact-by-laurie-kellogg\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;The Parent Pact by Laurie Kellogg&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[268,37,267],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1118"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1118"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1118\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1125,"href":"https:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1118\/revisions\/1125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodbookstoday.com\/bookclub\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
