Very cute story. I'm not very religious but the way god was spoken about in this book even touched a place in my heart about the plan and timing of life. I loved both characters in this story and their dedication. It was a sweet summer read.
I love the way the author told the story, the way that she had the two characters fall in love and find their way to each other , I can't wait to read another book by this author
A Family For Summer by Lois Richer. Jared Hornby found himself caring for his orphaned niece and nephew who are twin six year old. Jared lost his twin sister and her husband. He is a junior high teacher, not making much money. Nurse Ashley Ross enters their lives. Jared has done construction in the past and not working during the summer time. Ashley hired Jared to remodel a place she wants to turn into a home for foster children. A lot of ups and downs in this book. Trusting God is a big issue. A good read.
These 'Love Inspired' romances by Harlequin are pretty fluffy . . . they are squeaky-clean though . . . so they're good when I want a quick, no-thought read and don't want to have to worry about any questionable scenes.
