Jeremy Stratton thought he had it all figured out—great apartment, live-in fiancée, soon-to-be degree, and favored son status in a well-heeled family. But when it all came crashing down, he nearly drove his friends away as well. Starting over now, his life is about to change in ways he never could have foreseen and would never have chosen on his own. Can Jeremy find “A Little Piece of Heaven” he never even knew existed?

Emily Vasquez has found one thing to hold onto in the swirls of life—God, and she has no desire to let Him go in pursuit of some guy. But when Jeremy keeps coming around despite his on-again, off-again aversion to all things Christian, Emily finds it’s not so easy to shut her feelings off as she thought it would be. Even worse, falling for him would mean never getting the chance to set things right back home. Choices, mistakes and consequences battle it out as the two of them search for A Little Piece of Heaven.

A New Adult Contemporary Christian Romance Novel, A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN, asks the question what if everything you’ve learned in life turns out to mean something you never expected? These two friends must battle old demons, new life issues, and each other to realize that love can be found in some very unexpected places. Set in a college, A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN picks up where the new adult romance A WORK IN PROGRESS left off, taking you through twists and turns in a heart-stopping ride that ultimately leads right where these two were always meant to be.

*~* EXCERPT *~*

“Oh, man! Tell me we’re almost there.” At the threshold Emily resorted to turning around and pushing the box with her back.

“Over here by the wall,” Jeremy said, guiding it the final ten feet. “And. We’re. There.”

The moment he stopped, she gave up and slid all the way down the box to the floor. “Hallelujah! Oh, man. I should have asked for hazard pay.”

“What’re you doing sitting around?” Rebecca asked as she breezed in the door with a box the size two pairs of shoes would fit into. She walked over to the counter in the kitchen and set it down with a clank.

“You’re kidding, right?” Emily was exhausted. She put her hand to her head to get it to stop swimming from the over-exertion. The thought of the fifteen other boxes of stuff not to mention some of the furniture still sitting back in the other apartment threatened to dissolve the last of her will. “You told me this wasn’t going to be hard.”

Rebecca shrugged. “It’s moving. It’s always hard.” With that she breezed back out.

“Come on.” Jeremy reached down for her hand and pulled her to her feet. “I promise, I’ll give you the light one this time.”

“Oh that you would be so kind.” Emily reached down and pulled her purple jersey shirt over her jeans where it had come up. The high ponytail on her head swung in time with her feet as she followed him down the hall. “How in the world can two bachelors have so much stuff? I thought bachelors like ate off of paper plates and slept on the couch.”

Jeremy glanced at her with a look of horror at the very suggestion. “I’m a bachelor. I’m not poor.”

“Oh,” she said, taking the statement to mean poor was like being a leper. Instinctively her arms twisted around her. “Well, I for one wish you were a little poorer.”

The gaze he trained on her held complete derision, but she smiled at him teasingly. “Not so much stuff to move that way.”

“Ah.” He lifted his chin in understanding although he still didn’t look very happy.

Sensing she’d just sent the train flying off the track, Emily followed him into the old apartment and planted her hands on her hips. “Okay, gang. What’s next?” The sooner they got this done, the sooner she could get back to normal.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

After taking 7 years to write this book's predecessor, this book was like a lightning strike. I think it took about six weeks start to finish. From that very first scene of Emily and Holly walking up the stairs, these characters just took over the story and I could hardly keep up with them.

Now, to those who have read "A Work in Progress," I know you did not expect this couple to be the "next ones." I didn't either! I fought it until I started to see the real Jeremy--not the one he showed the whole outside world, but who he was and who he is and especially who he becomes with Emily. Of course, I loved Emily from minute one, and I felt a bit guilty for God forcing her to take on the impossible assignment of Jeremy. However, I learned through her what great love and faith, and especially what bringing God into every situation can do.

Ultimately, these two became a real inspiration to me, and I hope that the new adults who read this Christian Romance novel will come away inspired as well.

This one doesn't pull many punches. It will challenge you to ask what God and His Word really means in your life. It will ask if there is life in your youth group and your church. It will open your eyes to why our children are falling away from the church in droves and what God can do through us to bring them back.

Trials, challenges, troubles. New adults are going to have all of them, but if they also have faith and grace and hope and love, they truly can live in the triumph of the cross... and through that change world around them for the better!

Excellent 2nd book in a series! Better than the 1st one!

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2015

This is only the second book I have read by Staci Stallings. The first one was A Work In Progress which comes before this one in the Faith Series.
I wanted the characters to have more real issues that they were facing in A Work In Progress. I was a little hesitant to read Jeremy and Emily's story since Jeremy was such a jerk to Rebecca in the previous book. I did really like Emily so I went for it

Emily is fearless when it comes to talking about her relationship with God. She and her previous roommate set up a Bible study in her dorm once a week that is open to anyone who wants to talk about how God is personally involved in each others lives. When it comes to talking with boys however, Emily is extremely shy. Emily prefers to be invisible when Jeremy, who is Eric and Rebecca's friend, is around.

Jeremy has just recently been dealt two blows simultaneously that nearly has him hitting rock bottom. His parents have announced that they are divorcing, since his father was caught cheating. On top of that his fiance, Gwen decided to leave him after he said some comments to Rebecca at a club in A Work In Progress. Jeremy doesn't think that he needs God. He grew up seeing how hypocritical so called Christians were at the church his parents insisted they attend.

I love how much both of these characters grow in their own personal relationship with God, which in turn helps them grow as a couple. I was rooting for Emily and Jeremy from chapter one. After reading this one, I would rather date Jeremy than Eric. Didn't think I would say that after book one.

FAMILY HURTS RAPE MISTRUST PARENTAL OVERBEARING

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2015

This is another great read for teens and pre teens. It can open the eyes of many to see how young people fall into the trap of over drinking just to be friends with others, even if they know better. You need to stand by your feelings and not follow others just to be part of the in crowd. If you have a background of knowing who the Lord of your life is (Jesus) do not leave Him at home when you are among the in crowd. Let them see Jesus in you and one day they will want to know who He is. I am so happy that Jeremy seen Emily for who she is and now they will have a great life together. He sure has a real winner and role model for a father, a man you sure do not want to be like. All the money in the world cannot make you happy if God is not leader in your home and life. I notice M's Stallings likes to use the letter K in her books when answering okay. It is very catchy.

The Voracious Reader

Slowed at Times and Long

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2016

Emily Vasquez had learned to lean on God and not men who disappoint. When she meets Jeremy Stratton, he’s everything she tries to avoid - rich, spoiled, demanding, and used to having things his way. However, she sees glimpses of the real Jeremy underneath the façade he tries to use to impress, and she likes that hidden Jeremy.

Jeremy Stratton has never met anyone like Emily. He’s had to pick up the pieces from his fiancée walking away, his parents’ divorce, and his father’s pressure to succeed. Emily’s quiet, unobtrusive beauty seems like a welcomed relief. He might be interested if she didn’t have that God-thing going on.

I liked this story. At first, I didn’t find either of the characters very likable, but they got better and grew on me. Emily was so too needy and insecure, despite her strong faith, that it seemed incongruous to me. And the book moved in slow motion with minute details and was much too long at 389 pages. It included long sermons and soapbox rants. There were only a very few mistakes, like “tamped” for “clamped.” From the context, I‘m guessing “But riding the horse was easier than it looked” should have been “But riding the horse was not as easy as it looked.” It would have been an excellent novel if it had been condensed, because the last part and ending was especially well-written. As it was, I gave it 3.5 stars, which rounded up to a four.

Very appropriate title!!

The beauty of the mountains, versus the fast pace of the big city. Jeremy doesn't realize what he's missing until he actually experiences both. I know plenty of people who are amazed at something so simple as how many stars are in the sky when they get away from the big city and see them for themselves. It was interesting in this book that two people who thought they were so different from each other were actually so much alike. Both Jeremy and Emily let things from their past shape who they are, until they realize that they are in control of their lives and what they will be. And both were so nervous around each other because they thought there was no way the other could possibly ever like them.

I loved that restaurant "aha" moment when Jeremy saw that he acted just like his dad and that he didn't want to be that way any more and chose to make the change necessary. I enjoyed this book by Staci Stallings very much. All three books in the series were great!!!

What arrogance really looks like

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2021

Young adults need to read this book for an eye opening look at what arrogance and pride in personal wealth really look like. It's not the elite appearance they might think it is.

Slow start, making it too lengthy

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book is really geared to young people, though older ones like me found the Biblical promises encouraging and their reliance on them encouraging for people of all ages. The first part dragged for me and details like her constantly hooking her hair behind her ear a bit tedious. Overall, it had a good message and what became a very touching and even exciting story.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, it was the first one in this series I have read and didn't know it was in a series which was great as I wasn't missing any of the story. Took me a little over a week to read which is quick as I have two toddlers to entertain too.
Really enjoyed this and looking at the other two along with other books by Staci Stallings!

Easy read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 31, 2015

This is an easy read for those who just want a novel to pick up and put down. It's described as adult and although I agree, in my opinion it's aimed at the younger rather than mature adult. All the same, it was enjoyable enough.
