"I loved reading the Water’s Edge series. Each book was filled with great stories of faith and family. They were very uplifting and so well written." D Ellis
Amelia offered a smile and hobbled to the table. Through the window, she could see all the outdoor activity and the glistening ocean beyond it. What a perfect setting. Much better than the western suburbs of Sydney where she’d grown up.
Her heart skipped a beat as she sighted Lucas wearing an orange high-vis long-sleeved shirt, khaki work shorts, and boots. So different to his church attire, the outfit suited him. Gave him a manly look. Not that he didn’t look manly normally.
Ugh. What was she doing? She let out a sigh as she eased her foot onto the cushioned chair. She was deluding herself if she thought he might be interested in her. Besides, they were such opposites. He was squeaky clean. She was tainted.

Chapter One - Look Inside
Chapter One - Look Inside
Amelia Anderson fled from Water’s Edge Bar and Tavern and tripped on the concrete steps, barely catching herself as hot tears stung her eyes. Gasping, she pressed her hands to her face, sharp breaths hissing past her lips.
How dare he!
She’d worked in places like this her entire life. As a bartender, she was used to inappropriate remarks and unsolicited invitations from the men who hung around the counter. But, ugh, that leering middle-aged man…
She was sick of men like him treating her however they wished.
There had to be more to life.
But what?
Hands trembling, she pulled a cigarette and lighter from her apron pocket. In past years, she wouldn’t have thought twice about a customer’s lustful words. It came with the territory. But tonight, when she’d refused to let that man’s degrading speech slide over her, her boss had called her inhospitable and said that, if she couldn’t do her job, she could take a hike.
Take a hike? Although new, she was the best and most experienced barmaid he had.
She wasn’t soft, but that creep should have been thrown out. Not her.
She lit the cigarette and took a long, slow drag. And then another.
She closed her eyes and slunk against the brick wall. Three more hours. How could she go back into that cesspit? Her stomach roiled, but she needed the job.
Her head snapped up at the lilt of piano music from the church across the road. Weird having a church opposite this sleazy bar. She opened her eyes. A man carrying a book under one arm propped open the front door before disappearing into the brightly lit sanctuary.
She finished her cigarette as churchgoers pulled into the car park and made their way inside. She was about to light up another when a short middle-aged woman climbed out of a station wagon. As she closed the door, her gaze landed on Amelia.
Amelia sunk further into the wall and averted her gaze. Since arriving in town a week earlier, she’d laid low. She’d bought groceries at the corner store at odd hours and gone back and forth from the apartment she shared with two other bartenders. That was it. She didn’t want to get to know anyone. Water’s Edge was a pit stop, just as her last town had been. And the town before.
The soft patter of white tennis shoes stopped in front of her. Sighing, she raised her head.
The woman stood before her, a cheerful smile bunching up her round face. Strands of silvery hair, twisted into a bun at her nape, escaped to tangle in the equally silvery necklace laying over her ruffled blouse. A cross glinted from it.
Amelia groaned. That’s all she needed. A Goody Two-shoes.
The woman’s smile broadened. “Hello.”
Angling her head, Amelia stood with folded arms while the woman rabbited on.
“I’m Charlotte Brown. I own the diner here in Water’s Edge. You must be new in town.” She waved a pudgy little hand, polish-free nails, only one ring. “I know just about everyone. No one passes up the diner’s weekend lunch specials. What’s your name, dear?”
Dear? Seriously? No one had called her ‘dear’ in a long time. If ever.
“Amelia.” Her eyes narrowed, and her lips pursed.
The corners of the woman’s blue eyes crinkled as she extended her hand. “Nice to meet you.”
Really? How could this respectable woman think it was nice to meet her?
Although her hand smelled of beer and the skulls on her rings would no doubt offend this gentle lady, Amelia accepted the gesture and took her hand. That soft hand—or maybe it was the woman’s whole persona—wrapped around her like a cuddly blanket and drew her in.
Peering at Amelia, the woman lowered her brow. “Are you all right?” Her voice was as soft and embracing as her hand. “You look like you’ve had a rough night.”
Amelia blinked back tears. Rough night? What an understatement. “Yeah, but it comes with the job.”
“You work in the bar?”
Here it came—the condemnation. Shedding the woman’s hand, Amelia ground her teeth and tightened her arms over her chest. “Yep.”
The woman nodded to the church. “Service is about to begin. Would you care to join me?”
Join her? Amelia frowned. She hadn’t set foot in a church in years. Her parents had never been much for getting right with God on Sundays. But this woman’s kindness and the strong urge to turn her back on the bar had her thinking.
It could be just the thing. Wasn’t she looking for something?
The woman patted Amelia’s forearm. “We can slip in the back. We won’t disturb anyone.”
The assurance that she, a black sheep, wouldn’t be paraded down the aisle in front of the citizens she’d so diligently avoided sealed the deal. She took a deep breath. “Okay. Why not?”
The woman’s smile threatened to stretch off her face. “Excellent! Come along, then.”
Amelia had nothing to lose by playing hooky to attend church, except her job. But she’d planned to move on soon anyway, so what did it matter? She followed the woman—Charlotte?—across the road.
Who’d have guessed that not only would she lose her job but also her impromptu church trip would change her life?

Every book/series by Juliette Duncan that I read gets better and better. This series was very uplifting & full of hope. Just like Jesus lifts us up and gives us new life, a hope & a future.
I have read many of Juilette's books and have trouble putting it down. They are so easy to read and have a great Christian message in them for everyday situations. This last book, Till I met you, is another example of an author that puts true life experiences to print.
A word story of God's love. Amelia Anderson met Charlotte Brown ànd she took her to church, gave her a job and found her a place to live. Willow Kelly let Amelia move in with her. She met Luke Kelly ,Willows brother and youth pastor. God brought them together and Amelia was saved. This is a great series.I received an ARC and this is my honest review.
When I Met You is a story of redemption wrapped in a sweet heart warming romance. I loved the main characters, Lucas and Amelia. Finding out their stories of faith and their dealings with the feelings of unworthiness made for a book well-worth reading. The romance between the two is swoon-worthy. I loved the welcoming attitude of their church community.
I highly recommend Juliette Duncan's story to readers of Christian romance and to anyone that is struggling with issues of their worth.
I received a complimentary copy and am sharing my opinion of this well-written romance.
Love this series set in Water’s Edge. It could be any of the small seaside towns south of Shellharbour NSW where I live! Even to the new marina in Shell Cove! The people are so real, and have become my friends. Juliette’s writings are so easy to read, and her Gospel heart shines through. So nice to have Christian novels set in Australia! Thank you Juliette.
In His time and His Way are the foundation for everything in our lives. Not to say we don’t have to do our part and not waiting for life to be less hectic (a clean plate); just follow where He leads to. Our Lord wants only what is best for you! I loved the reminder of all is good according to His will.
Again the practicalities of life embraced through faith. So appreciative of the prayers included ..so meaningful to me. Love that I don't have to worry about inappropriate language or situations. Thank you. You leave me wanting more, too short!!
Juliette has an amazing gift of making her people in her book seem like these are true stories true feelings and most often be fit into most readers lives. Thank you for your comfort, wisdom and love you give in ALL your books.
I loved the total transformation of Amelia’s character as she grew in her relationship with God and her understanding of his great love for her. Anyone reading this story can be encouraged in their own faith journey, growing in dependence on God.
I loved the additional strength that came through the gentle compassion Amelia received from Charlotte, Willow, Lucas and the community of friends and family. We all need each other, and she learned to give that same gift of love that she was shown. I hope you will be encouraged when you walk with Amelia into the path the Lord opened for her.

God's grace is truly amazing ! This story proves the grace that is given to us through redemption in Christ.
Juliette Duncan has written a story of God's love and forgiveness. The things that Amelia had done reminded me of some of my own life experiences. It's truly a humbling feeling to know our sins are forgiven when we turn to God. I like the way Juliette Duncan teaches her readers with bible verses and good Christian examples. This is Book 1 of the Water's Edge series and is a stand-alone story with a Happy-Ever-After ending. I'm looking forward to Book 2, Because of You.
I was given an ARC from the author. This review is my honest opinion, freely given.
Water's Edge sounded like a wonderful town of people who shared God's love and accepted people as they are, faults and all. Enjoyed the story so much of Amelia finding Christ and continuing to grow in het faith. Charlotte and Willow were unique characters who took Amelia under their wing and Ienjoyed their personalities so much. God brought Lucas and Amelia together, another example of overflowing blessings he gives us if we believe.
Juliette Duncan did it again! What a wonderful story of how God can use anybody no matter what their life has been like in the past. Amelia had basically been on her on most of her life and she had move from town to town since she left home. She never planned to attend church but she was ready for a charge, boy was she in for a surprise. I promise you, you will love this book from start to finish & you will love all the people you will meet a long the way. Juliette just has a way of drawing you in & making you part of her story, you just can't help yourself. So purchase the book, grab a cup of coffee & sit back & enjoy!
I received this Advance copy for free, but all thoughts & reviews are my own & I gave it of my own free. I have always enjoyed Juliette's book before I became part of her team.
The first book has hooked me the love I felt from this first book was so amazing. I can’t wait to read the rest of them
Thank You for the story
Every book I have read is uplifting and you really feel like you are part of the story. Lovely clean, warm and encouraging. Love them. Thank you Juliette.
I just finished the Water’s Edge series. Wow! I loved every single one! Juliet is not afraid to build characters that are real and go through the same struggles we face in our lives. The difference in her books is the fact that she brings Jesus into each character’s life! He is the way, the truth and the life! I love that she puts scriptures in her books! I feel God’s love when I read her books! I highly recommend her books!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Once again Juliette Duncan writes a beautiful story that lets you know that by weathering the stormy seas of our lives with God as our help mate, we can come out the other side, often times in a direction we didn’t know we needed to go! But God knows the plans he has for us. We just need to stop & listen, & trust in His guidance!! God bless you Juliette in your writing!
Good story.
I've loved reading the entire Water's Edge series - Juliette Duncan brought everyone in her stories to life, showing how God's love impacts the person who accepts Him and changes the lives of everyone around them. I'm looking forward to reading her next series!
I am amazed how God is using the stories to speak to my heart. It has happened many times.
Yesterday was a very difficult time for me and when I opened the book it was about the very problem I was facing. This happened several times. The scriptural applications and counseling ministered to my needs.
I almost stopped reading the books as I had to read some specific books but when I finished one I felt I needed to go back to Juliette’s books. I find them the best way to relax.
May God continue to guide you Juliette as you seek Him in what you write.
Book 4 of the Water's Edge Christian romance series continues to bring the people of Water's Edge alive in a very relatable way, as well as sharing Ryan and Kylie's story. If you haven't read any of the series, do yourself a favour and buy it.
I loved this beautiful story of redemption and look forward to reading the next in the series.
Charlotte, s Christian, stops to offer help to a barmaid. She offers Amelia a job and finds her a place to live with Willow. As Amelia transforms from a life of sin to a Christian life of forgiveness and transformation, she learns to forgive herself and trust the answers to her prayers. Lucas, Willow’s brother, is back to a Godly life and is now youth pastor of Water’s Edge Community church. They are attracted to each other, praying about their relationship. When Amelia’s mother calls, Amelia goes to help her. They are able to restore their relationship.
Excellent faith story.
I enjoyed every book in this series, as in other series from this author. However, the last book I particularly enjoyed as the couple were older, and they each could use their faithful lives lived into their golden years together. I love the way this author shows in her writing that she can write from experience and can draw the readers in to want to experience her joy. RK
Bronte's husband was a troubled veteran who tried to drown his problems in alcohol - and died in a drunk road accident. Her life now revolves around her neuro-divergent son - even more so when she has to pull him out of school where he was not coping and homeschool him. Daniel is the new pastor, a widower with a troubled alcoholic brother, and Bronte is one of the few that understands the issues. A strongly Christian book with lots of praying, with likeable characters with real life ongoing problems that are not instantly solved rather managed with much prayer and help from others. I received an ARC but this review is my own.
