On Magnolia Lane by Denise Hunter

Pastor Jack McReady has secretly carried a torch for Daisy for two long years. She’s a member of his congregation, after all, and she’ll never see him as more than a trusted counselor. Jack’s best friend Noah has taken every opportunity to encourage his lovesick friend, but when Noah catches wind that Daisy has joined an online dating site, he takes matters into his own hands and orchestrates a meet-cute of the most unconventional kind.
Owner of the local flower shop, Daisy Pendleton is content with her small-town life, but she’d sure like someone to share it with. After several disastrous first dates, she’s about to give up—and then she finds a seemingly wonderful man online. Daisy gets to know TJ through a series of messages but finds herself spending more time with Pastor Jack outside of the church at the same time. What she doesn’t know is that her online prospect and Jack are one and the same.
Just as Daisy’s love life starts to look promising, a mysterious woman appears in town. Daisy is faced with a revelation about her family that turns her world upside down, and she looks to both TJ and Jack for help.
Jack must find a way to reveal himself as her online suitor without breaking her heart and losing her trust. As Daisy faces Jack’s betrayal, she’ll have to learn to extend grace to herself, her family, and the man she’s grown to love.
Jack and Daisy are both looking for love.  Jack knows who he loves Daisy.  But doesn't know how to express himself.  He thinks he's too old for her and besides he's her pastor.  What would people think? Daisy wants to find love.   But where to look?  An interesting read about Jack and Daisy as they come to find love.
On a side note.  I am a pastor's wife and I could relate to how Jack felt about living in a fish bowl.  Pastor's are human beings and have feelings just like everyone else. 
I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
