When she learns of her fiancé’s infidelity minutes before their wedding, Melanie Turner snatches Daddy’s shotgun and climbs a billboard on the farm neighboring the church. As family and friends plead with her, she grows more determined. She’s not coming down until that sorry Stephen climbs up and apologizes. No way, no how.Problem is, Stephen’s not coming, which leaves permanently suspended ex-pro baseball player Kyle Casey in a real bind. His grandfather left him in charge of the farm, and he’s struggling with the responsibility, especially with a stubborn cow named Gertie. Seriously? A stubborn cow AND a stubborn girl? Kyle doesn’t need the publicity Melanie’s melodrama is sure to bring. But... helping Melanie is the right thing to do, and Kyle sure needs to start doing the right thing. While the hours turn into days, Kyle sits with Melanie on the cramped billboard deck, enjoying her company far more than he should. As they both come to understand and regret their former selfishness, can this washed-up pro athlete and spoiled-rotten tomboy find a path to peace and renewal?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Monica Mynk is a high school chemistry teacher turned author from Eastern Kentucky. She spent her early years reading books with her mother, acting out plays with her brother and sister, climbing in corncribs, and helping her dad on the farm. Periodically, she loves to tell corny science jokes.

Monica comes from a long line of preachers, elders, deacons, and Bible class teachers, and clings to the thought that God's promises are new every morning. She's been active in church since youth, from participating in Bible camps as both camper and counselor to serving beside her husband in a college ministry. She regularly writes devotionals, which can be found on her blog, and plans to someday publish a series of Bible study books for college-aged girls.

With her writing, she battles the societal meme-driven sound-byte belief system with her strong characters who have the word of God on their hearts and who take Biblical stands against even the slightest untruths and injustices. She desires to help young women grow exponentially in their faith through the stories she presents.

In her spare time, Monica loves spending time with family, especially her husband and beautiful children. They've been known to hang out at the soccer field on occasion, and they are active participants in the Lads to Leaders program through their church. She is a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW).

Refreshing read

I enjoyed watching Melanie and Kyle evolve throughout this story. The theme of forgiveness was inspiring and it was so refreshing to read words of scripture from the lens of the characters. I would read Billboard Bride again!

A fun little book. This is a cute story about a second chance at love and the chance to atone for wrongs inflicted on others. It has a great Christian story, and the characters are flawed and human, like we all are. A nice read.

I would definitely say this is an original story that at times was humorous. For those of you that like southern settings, this one is very southern. I liked the story and found it to be s good read. I was amazed that 76% of it really does take place at a billboard . The character grow and develop, but I did think it was a tad bit too long and didn't need to be.

When Melanie Turner learns of her fiancé’s infidelity minutes before her wedding, she charges out of the church seeking a place where she can lick her wounds in private. The place she chooses? The platform below the billboard on the neighboring property. She has to climb a tree then a ladder – in her wedding dress with her Daddy’s shotgun – to get there but once there, she refuses to come down until her fiancé comes up the ladder and apologizes. When he refuses, she determines to stay there 13 days or until he apologizes – whichever comes first. Look up “stubborn” in the dictionary and Melanie’s picture is likely there.
Melanie’s presence on his Pa’s property brings publicity that Kyle Casey doesn’t need. Banned from his professional baseball career for betting on baseball, Kyle is licking wounds of his own when Melanie’s actions shine a light on his hideaway. Can he talk her down before the national press learns of his connection to the property?
As Kyle learns to know Melanie he sees a woman with knowledge and gifts he needs on the farm, and in his life. He has many regrets about his past but one of the biggest ones is the way he treated his former fiancée. When Melanie’s semi-famous father asks him to take care of his daughter while she’s on his property, he does what he can – feeding her, clothing her, building her a shelter – and in the doing discovers that serving someone else is a sure way to take your mind off of your own troubles. Can he convince Melanie that he’s a changed man, that he’s worth giving a chance?
This was such a fun book! Every character has so many quirks that it’s hard not to love them. I also loved the minister of the church next door. Sure, he was a strong man of God but he wasn’t above taking advantage of the situation to increase his congregation. When his parking lot got packed with press people watching Melanie, he moved his Wednesday evening service outside and preached to them. He is instrumental in bringing Kyle back to faith and Kyle is instrumental in bringing Melanie along with him.
Romance readers will find much to love in this story. I know I did!

Melanie Turner is taking stubborn to a new height when she discovers her fiance’s cheating just minutes before their wedding, Melanie grabs Daddy’s shotgun and climbs a billboard on the farm next to the church. Family and friends plead with her, but she grows more determined. She’s not coming down until Stephen climbs up and apologizes even if it takes 13 days. After all, 13 is her lucky number. He was her 13th boyfriend, he proposed after 13 months, and the wedding is 13 weeks after the proposal. Stephen’s not coming, He went on their honeymoon without her which leaves Kyle Casey in a real bind. His grandfather left him in charge of the farm, and he doesn't know anything about farming. He is also a permanently suspended ex-pro baseball player and doesn’t want the publicity her melodrama’s sure to bring. When the preacher of the church convinces him that helping Melanie is the right thing to do, his mind changes. He takes her food and sits with her on the billboard deck, enjoying her company far more than he should. As they both discover they’ve spent their lives focused too much on self, can they find a path to peace and renewal? This is the first book I have read by this author, but won't be the last.

So Enjoyable

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a book about a young woman who finds out just before her wedding is to begin - that her fiance (#13 boyfriend) had been cheating on her. It is also about her thinking the number 13 was her good luck, simply because when she was 13 yrs old, a mystic fortune teller told her. {which people need to realize they should stay away from horoscopes, fortune tellers, palm readers, etc -because they are not from or of God}.
An interesting tell of her running from the church & climbing up a billboard, then saying she would remain for 13 days. Yes she was spoiled growing up but also hung up on thinking 13 would work for her. This book also tells of a former baseball player who was also going through changes in his life and how he helped her when she would not leave the billboard. Lots of laughs, lots of you wanting to climb down. And this book tells of people coming to Christ and learning to live for Him - scriptures and nice sharing.

The 2 main characters are irritating to read about. She points a rifle at people she doesn't like. He is a useless liberal with no idea about the real world. I started reading this mess and had to give up on it.

This author is new to me, and I almost passed it up, but the premise is so fresh I had to see how it all worked out. Good writing, unpredictable (zany) and flawed (real) characters, and Biblical truths are woven throughout. The author reminds readers what is important without being preachy.
I am glad I read this one and will recommend it to others.

fun story

Definitely a different sort of idea! A good read, with some poignant moments as well as fun parts. While I found it hard to believe anyone could react to circumstances quite like that, I still sympathised with Melanie however silly she was being - which I guess shows that it's a good story! Clean and well written, this was a good light read.
