A Colorado Match

by Deb Kastner

Vince Morningway has always run the family ministry alone—and his way. Until his big-deal brother hires a business consultant to bring him—and the ministry—into this century. Suddenly Melanie Frazer, in her pastel suits and clicking heels, is organizing papers and talking computers. And she's too interested in sorting the dreams Vince has for his life. But those old dreams—to leave town and see the world instead of taking care of everyone and everything—passed him by long ago. Unless Melanie can show him how much he's always been needed, right here in Colorado…where an unexpected match is in the making.

Loved It!

I enjoyed this book and how you see the growth of the characters. The relationships that develop and change show how even the best of people can struggle. We can struggle with faith, healthy relationships, and pride. Thank you Deb for an awesome read.

This book was really cute. An easy read, although it took me a while because I have 5 kids and I’m always so busy. I loved the love story in Colorado match. It was heart warming and made me really fall in love with love again :)

There is a book ahead of this one called The Marine's Baby. I have not read it but I think it would be good to read before this one as it has the other part of the story.

Vincent Morningway runs the family business, a lodge for the families visiting the nearby hospital.

His brother Nate, who always has been irresponsible and letting Vince do all the work has hired someone with his own money to bring the business up to date. Vince fights against having Melanie Fraser do anything with the business especially since being around her bothers him in other ways as well.

Melanie had a step father who threw around religion as the reason for needing to discipline so she had no faith. She cringed that she was at a place involving God but as she watched Vince live out the true Christian life amongst his struggles she asked Christ into her life as well.

A really good story.
