Perhaps meeting her biological father, Blake Crawford, will be the lifeline Jordan needs. The handsome, guarded firefighter takes risks every day. But facing the daughter he never knew—along with lovely Elizabeth—has him thinking about family. With fatherhood thrust suddenly upon him, there's no way he can turn his back on his sick child.

[Wendy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I gave an extra star because the discussion questions about this book are great at the very end. The story was pretty predictable, although there were a few surprising moments. There are religious themes in this book that some readers may not identify with.

[Ranie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautifully written story that reveals in-depth forgiveness, redemption, and acceptance of true faithfulness in God. Highly recommended

And Father Makes Three by Kim Watters
Dr. Elizabeth Randall receives an unexpected visitor at the hospital….a man who says he is the father of her adopted daughter, and he has proof.. As if she don’t have enough on her plate with Jordan having leukemia and getting weaker each day while waiting for a bone marrow transplant. And yet the handsome fireman is determined to work himself into their lives. She also carries a secret from the past that brings more guilt as she gets to know Blake.

Blake Crawford can’t believe he’s a father and hasn’t been told about it for almost ten years. And to find his daughter only to face losing her. His own father had failed him but he was determined to learn to be a good one for his daughter and to do all he could to help her recover. He also fights the past as the hospital reminds him of his father who had disowned him.

Blake and Elizabeth learn to work together for Jordan even while they each harbor their own fears. I couldn’t stop reading as I was pulled into the story. More than the romance, Kim also brings out real life issues such as the struggles of parents wanting to help their children who are sick but it’s out of their control and in God’s hands. A portion of the proceeds for this book will go to organizations to help defray the costs associated with the testing to be a donor.

This was a very good story about a man who learns he's a father after his ex-wife dies and his little girl (I think she's 10) is in the hospital needing a bone marrow transplant. Of course he doesn't match as is usually the case in these stories, but he does all he can to find donors. The adoption of his child as a new born brings up all kinds of issues. He's a pretty decent guy throughout the whole story though and is able to build a relationship with the adopted mother.

I won a copy of And Father Makes Three by Kim Watters through Goodreads. The story was sad as there is a little girl with cancer, I enjoyed reading the book, but once it was done I didn't feel a longing to know where the characters would go next.

Sweet story.

[Alexa Bourne · Rating 4 out of 5]

A sweet story that kept me turning pages and ignoring my other duties. It was definitely time well spent, though!
