"What did God want from him and from his family? It was time to fall to his knees and earnestly seek God’s will."

I LOVE a good Christian fiction book - but they aren’t always easy to find. If you are looking for one (or a series of them) I would recommend giving The Hearts of Crystal Creek a go 🕊️

This was a charming small-town story with an overwhelming sense (and reminder) of the comfort one can feel from God’s presence. 🙏🏼💖✨

Trey - our MMC is a pastor traveling with his two teenage kids after losing their mother to cancer. They plan on seeing lots of the American West before the school year starts, but that is before they wind up in Crystal Creek, and find more and more reasons to stay…

"Since becoming a Christian, he’d learned everything happened for a reason."

Hannah - our MFC is the hardest working single mum ever! And my heart felt for this independent, strong woman throughout the book. Growing up, Hannah had always been the good girl, until the night she met Lane Weber, the handsome bull rider. Hannah spent one evening with the cowboy and ended up pregnant. Fast forward ⏩ she now has a beautiful, and equally hard-working, teenage daughter.

"She knew knights in shining armor were only in fairytales, but Trey and his son could almost make her believe fairytales existed." 🥹💖✨

The 3 kids develop friendships and the local church starts to scout Trey as a potential pastor. Meanwhile, Hannah and Trey find a connection. Trey is the sweetest, most caring gentleman and when he steps up to help Hannah, they only get closer. Neither of them are sure what God has in store for the future.

This is definitely a long, slow burn romance 💕 But, somehow it fits the storyline. Both Trey and Hannah are uncertain of what the future holds for them. Neither of them wanting to ruin what has become a solid friendship. However, it runs deeper for Hannah; she believes she is tarnished and not good enough to be a pastor’s wife…

Thankfully, through her connection with Trey, Hannah learns about God's unconditional forgiveness and God's call to her to stop defining herself by her shame and fear of what others will think about her past.

"God’s gift was forgiveness. Through prayer she would let Him work His wonderful gift in her life." 💝🥰🙏🏼

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was a nice easy read whilst still having a depth, and complexity to it. I loved how Laura Haley-McNeil captured the real life of a pastor and everything that comes with that role. The church/small-town community is central to this story but Laura also explores other themes throughout the book, such as rodeo cowboys (we all know I’m a sucker for a cowboy theme 🤠), grief, teenage life and single parenthood. However, there is a very comforting theme of trying to discern and follow God's leading in life. It is a great reminder to step back and pray before making major (or minor) decisions in life. I look forward to seeing what messages come up in the rest of the series 📚💖✨

“What most people don’t realize is that the hard times are the polishing we need to make us better people. It lets who we really are shine through.” 🤲🏼🕊️✨

This was such a wonderful, God-filled book! I loved how the Word spoke through the book to me. Trey and his two children Elliott and Blayne had been traveling the country for over a year after his beloved wife had died from cancer. I was so happy they landed in the small town of Crystal Creek. Trey had been a financial analyst, but gave that up and went to school for seminary. He had been an associate pastor at a church in New York where they lived. Hannah and her daughter Desiree happily befriended the family. I was so sad that Hannah could not forgive herself for something that happened when she was a naive teenager. It was so heartwarming to see how the church and town took in Trey and his children. The church and God had shown him that he needed to give the church is this small town a chance to pastor their church. I loved all the lessons that many people were shown and how God worked in their life. I strongly encourage you to read the book. I was given a copy and voluntarily wrote a review.

A beautiful story of dealing with lost, mistakes and teen agers.
To a small town to preach, he is drawn to the town, and a waitress Hannah.
Thiinking love was in the past, and with teen agers they wouldnt want any more changes. A story of faith and forgiveness, that readers will enjoy...

1st time author for me

I'm not sure what to say ... I liked the story but it was way too long! 51 chapters could have been said in 31... so much repetition!!! Also I thought the writing somewhat sophomoric. I finished the story because I needed to know the end. Pastor Trey had the patience of a saint waiting for Hannah to forgive herself for a past wrong... forgive myself or not over and over and over. Well thankfully, it was a good ending!

I just couldn’t get into it. The writing was just off for me.

This is Hannah McKean and Pastor Trey Channing and his children,Elliott and Blayne's story.
Hannah stood at the kitchen door, her
hands clasped as if praying the girl wouldn’t do anything dangerous.
“To church.” The girl flashed an overly bright smile. “Isn’t that
what you want to hear?”
“Desiree―” Hannah took a step toward her.
Desiree tossed her hair and strode out the restaurant’s entrance.
The cook in the back placed an order on the counter and then
tapped the bell.
Deep lines etched around Hannah’s full mouth, and she turned to
the counter.
She shook her head and stepped back into the
kitchen.
Trey Channing took in the glum faces of his teenaged son
and daughter, Elliott and Blayne, and watched them pick at
their congealed egg in the Crystal Creek restaurant. Did they miss
their mother, Katrina, or were they remembering last summer’s vaca‐
tion in Paris?
He remembered every detail―his late wife’s bright eyes when the
family rode to the top of the Eiffel Tower, his son’s delight when a
group of teens playing soccer in the park invited him to join in, and
the scare their daughter gave them when she made friends with a
French boy, more like a man, who invited her to take a ride on his
scooter.
I recommend reading.

📚THE STORY📚

After getting pregnant at seventeen, Hannah is now raising her teenage daughter Desiree in her small town of Crystal Creek. She works multiple jobs to make ends meet while keeping an eye on Desiree.

Trey is a pastor traveling with his two teenage kids after losing their mother to cancer. Their plan is to see lots of the American West before the school year starts, but when they wind up in Crystal Creek, they keep finding more and more reasons to stay.

As the kids develop friendships and the local church starts to scout Trey as a potential hire, Hannah and Trey spark up a connection. After Hannah is injured and Trey steps up to help her, they only get more close. But she worries about her past as a single mom sullying his reputation, and Trey isn't sure what God has in store for his future.

💕THE ROMANCE💕

This is definitely a long, slow burn! Hannah and Trey get along from the start, bonding over their kids, connecting as adults, and showing up for each other as Hannah recovers from her injury and Trey learns his way around town. But even though there are sparks of attraction between them, they both have reasons to hold themselves back. Even when they spend time together alone under the guise of a date, there's not much romance until the very end.

Because Trey is wealthy and Hannah is struggling with her injury, there are some thoughtful gestures that have romantic tinges despite the characters strongly resisting it. As Trey cares for Hannah and the two start to blend their family thanks to the kids becoming friends, they have plenty of opportunities to get to know each other and relax in one another's company.

✝️FAITH ELEMENTS✝️

Trey is a pastor, so church life is central to the story. He and his kids visit a local church and get connected to the community there via Bible studies and youth group. Trey preaches multiple times, though the text does not include his sermons, only their general themes.

There is a strong focus on trying to discern and follow God's leading for one's life. Trey talks often about praying before making decisions, and his backstory includes a major leap of faith based on what he believed God was calling him to. We don't typically see the specific content of the prayers or how the characters experience and understand God's leading, but rather the aftermath of this reflection.

Because Hannah got pregnant as an unwed teenager, her shame about this dominates much of her storyline. Concerns about sin, purity, and sullied reputations are front and center. Through her connection with Trey, she learns about God's unconditional forgiveness and God's call to her to stop defining herself by her shame and fear of what others will think.

📝MY THOUGHTS📝

How many of us remember being a kid and making friends on vacation? I loved how this book captured that experience of getting close with someone else quickly, falling into their world and joining up families in an attempt to spend more time together. I'm still friends with a girl I met at the beach as an elementary schooler! And now, I'm a foster parent to teenagers, so I enjoyed seeing how the kids positively influence each other in everything from church involvement to work ethic.

Loved It … a heartfelt tug of war

Loss comes in many forms. It brings heartache and pain, but it also can foster self doubt, denial and memories … both good and bad.

Trey Channing and Hannah McKean know this all too well. After the death of his wife, Trey now is a single dad of two teenagers, doing his best to follow God’s call on his life. Hannah is a single mother. The man she thought loved her couldn’t get away fast enough when he learned she was pregnant. Hannah has spent 15 long years doing her best to support her daughter’s needs, physical and spiritual… easier said than done.

It was easy to be drawn into this book from the beginning. There’s emotion you can feel as you read, there’s angst and indecision, there’s a big secret that doesn’t stay hidden. There’s love but also anger, guilt and remorse … and there is hope.

It’s about second chances, but so much more. See, second chances affect more than the two people falling in love, and this is where the story shines. There has to be forgiveness and acceptance. Again, that’s easier said than done, especially when guilt is being carried around and judgmental gossipers reign.

🤔 OBSERVATIONS

✒︎ Those judgmental church going ol’ biddies needed to be reminded about what was told to another group of judgmental people: Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

✒︎ I loved this book, however it easily could have been divided into two books, giving better development to certain parts, especially Lane’s role. Can’t say I had good feelings about him, even at the end. I didn’t ‘feel’ his sorrow or remorse. Did he never, ever think about his child during those 15 years?

✒︎ The only regret I saw Lane have, was getting caught. Never felt any pain, regret, remorse about what he did. Did he ever realize how his daughter had to work several jobs and not be a regular teenager while he had another family and was living the life of Riley? While he lived high on the hog, Hannah worked three jobs to barely scrape by. Did he ever think of those things?

✒︎ Wanted more depth into Susanna. Needed to ‘hear’ Lane fess up to her and also to his boys. How did she forgive him so easily? How did she really know that Desiree was his daughter. Had to be more than them looking alike.

✒︎ I had questions about Lane’s status when he left Hannah. Was he single, engaged or married? At first I thought single but other places had me thinking married or engaged.

✒︎ My heart went out to Desiree and Hannah…. Working all those jobs to put food on the table and pay bills.

✒︎ I sure was glad Hannah finally learned how to accept forgiveness. She was exhausting in that area.

[Tammy Lunsford - Escape to Books By Tammy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a very emotional book and the author does a great job of pulling you into the story so much so that I actually felt emotional myself.

Pastor Trey Channing and his children, Elliott and Blayne, are on what I would call a healing trip. Trey's wife passed away, and he is floundering about wondering where he needs to go next. He is in pain due to his loss. This is how he ends up in Crystal Creek in a small diner where he meets a waitress named Hannah. Hannah is a kind soul, but Trey can see a haunted look in her eyes that he recognizes from his own eyes. Hannah is a single mother to Desiree, and she is struggling financially and struggling to tame her daughter in order to keep her out of trouble. When these two meet, they don't immediately realize how much of a blessing each will be to the other. There are no chance encounters if you have true faith.

This book had so many moral and life lessons in it that made me stop and think. One of which is that actions have consequences, but these actions, although sometimes bad, also reap rewards and future blessings. We cannot turn back time, but we can move forward and control future decision making.

Trey immediately feels led to help the kind people of this community, especially Hannah after an accident takes her to the hospital. Hannah does not feel she is worthy to be loved. You see these characters grow in their faith as they attempt to move forward and learn forgiveness is a gift and provides freedom that allows you to move forward and enjoy life to its fullest.

I closed this book with a satisfied smile on my face. This is another winner by the super talented Laura Haley-McNeil. She knows how to tug on your heart and make you smile as well.

Thank you to the author for this ARC. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

A multi-layered lesson in forgiveness

Forgiveness is a very hard issue to deal with. Sometimes it seems easier, even justified, to hold onto the hurt feelings and the bitter resentments of those who have wronged us or made our lives difficult. Even harder is learning to forgive ourselves long after God has forgiven us and embraced us in His Love. Those are just some of the many different types of forgiveness that Ms.Haley-McNeil forces her characters to confront in this book.

All of the characters -- main, secondary, protagonist, antagonist, adults or youth -- ALL of them are realistically flawed individuals trying to do what they see as the 'right' thing with the best of intentions. And sometimes those actions hurt or disappoint the people they are trying to protect, or others around them. As they seek spiritual guidance in prayer, they find their salvation, or grow in the practice of their faith in a world that has become increasingly secular and chaotic. I am amazed that the talent which allows her to accomplish that without feeling 'preachy' and distracting one from a lovely romantic story.

This is a beautiful story with a strong Christian message.

Trey Channing is an assistant pastor at a church in New York. His wife died a year ago. Trey and his two teenage children are going on a road trip holiday when they stop at Crystal Creek.
Here they meet Hanna who is a single mother of a teenage girl.
She tells Trey about her church and so they go there on Sunday.

Hannah can not fully forgive herself for the mistake she made as a teenager. She thinks she will never marry.

Trey ends up staying in the town longer than anticipated when the church elders ask him to preach at the church the next Sunday as they do not have a minister and the guest that was going to be there could not come.

Trey’s children and Hannah’s daughter get on really well so the families end up spending time together.

There are many emotional parts to this book with lessons to be learnt. One of the main ones being that you need to not only forgive others but also yourself.

I borrowed Another Chance at Love ~ Hearts of Crystal Creek ~ Book 1, by Laura Haley-McNeil, author from the Kindle Unlimited Program on Amazon.

Hannah McNeil, single mother of a teenager is working several jobs to support her daughter Desiree and herself when Trey Channing came into the diner where she worked with his two children, his son Elliott and daughter, Blayne. Trey and his children were traveling around the United States on vacation. They all liked Crystal Creek, Colorado.

The three kids got to know each other at Wednesday night youth group at the local church, while Hannah and Trey became friends. Add a local man with a motorcycle, an accident, Hannah's broken leg, Desiree figuring out who her dad is after never knowing who he was and the interference from the ladies axillary confronting Pastor Trey about spending time with Hannah. Both Hannah and Trey put their children first, enjoyed lots of family activities together and finally admitted how they felt about each other, Another Chance at Love, is a wonderful Christian romance.

Secrets are hard to hide. When her past comes face-to-face with her present, can she keep her daughter’s heart from breaking?

Another Chance at Love by Laura Haley-McNeil
Hearts of Crystal Creek Series Book One
Trey Channing had lost his wife a year ago. So, he was traveling the country this summer with his son Elliott and daughter Blayne. And praying for the Lord’s guidance in where He wanted them and in what church He wanted Trey to be a pastor. Then they came to the small town of Crystal Creek.
Hannah McKean has to work several jobs, as does her daughter, Desiree. As a single mom, that was her life. She also carried the heavy burden of her past around with her. Being an unwed mother in this small town was not unnoticed, forgotten, or forgiven, it seemed at times.
This story is about more than just Trey and Hannah. The ripple around them pulls in others who need the Lord—and forgiveness. Tissue alert if you cry easily.

I really enjoyed this sweet second chance to find love, showing that dreams can come true. A story filled with faith and the importance of relying on Him. Trey had lost his wife, and he has two kids Elliott and Blayne and they go on a cross country road trip trying to find out God’s will for his family when they visit a small town of Chrystal Creek. The first person they meet is Hannah, who was their waitress and worked other jobs to make ends meet. She has a daughter Desiree. They spend a lot of time together, their kids becoming good friends and they grow closer. Trey is asked to be the pastor, so they decided to stay in Chrystal Creek. This is such a beautiful story of the importance of forgiving and forgiving ourselves for our mistakes. I recommend this great story.

[Cilla · Rating 5 out of 5]

The title of this book is very apt. Hannah considers herself damaged goods and fears her teenage daughter is going to follow in her unwed teenage mother footsteps given her less than acceptable boyfriend, and Pastor Trey and his children are grieving the death of his wife/mother and are travelling the country with no set plans for the future. I loved how God 'planted' them in town with so many 'chance' happenings, Hannah recommending her church to the travellers, the kids hitting it off, Trey being asked to preach the following week as the planned preacher cancelled, and after Hannah's accident being able to help. A story of forgiveness, not being swayed by public opinion, standing up for others and second chances at love. I received an ARC but this review is my own.

[Lia Lorimer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book will remain a definite favourite of mine from Laura’s selection of titles. The excellent writing style and pace, the small-town setting with a strong Christian ethos and the inclusion of children result in an inspirational novel. Cameo appearances by the town ‘matriarch’, Rose Whitloch, give the reader a connection to the author’s previous Crystal Creek series.
Single mom Hannah’s life has not been easy and widower Trey brings his own heartbreak on his visit to Crystal Creek during his cross-country summer trip with his children. Circumstances lead to Hannah and Trey establishing an empathetic, friendly relationship as their children also develop close bonds.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. All the characters felt real and faced real situations. The theme of forgiveness was beautifully written and may change the lives of those who read this book. Pastor Trey was so well written and reflected how a Christian man would live his life. It almost reflected the life of my former pastor. I have been friends of my pastor and his family for many years and have seen how he and his wife live their lives, always praying for guidance, putting others before themselves, and raising five wonderful children. Hannah represents so many of us who have made mistakes and cannot forgive ourselves. So much in this book is thought provoking and beautifully written. The kids certainly were typical teenagers. Loved it. I highly recommend this book.

Trey is a pastor who is struggling with the loss of his wife, so he and his children have embarked on an adventure that leads them to Crystal Creek. It is there that he meets Hannah and her daughter who combined with the town give him and his family the purpose they need.

Hannah is a single mother to her daughter Desiree who is going through a difficult time as well as she tries to be the best mother and give her daughter the best life she can alone. Trey is there when she needs someone the most and shows her, she is no longer alone.

This is a heartwarming story about love, faith, and healing. It also shows us that even if you cannot see it at the time there is a bigger plan if you are willing to open your heart to the possibilities.

Feeling a connection to another person--is it too soon? We all have regrets in our past, and this book guides these two, well, three, families thru life's emotional roads.
Very well written. Draws you right in. Although the man is a preacher, he doesn't really preach, but he tries to live his life filled with faith while helping his fellowman do the same. I highly recommend this book.

This age gap, Christian romance has second chances of love and parenting, forgiveness and teenager dramas in the mix.

This very intense, clean, friends to more had much high emotion from Hannah and her daughter, Desiree as one battles guilt and the other struggles with longings for a parent.

I felt that, although the story was well peppered throughout with prayer and God, some of the descriptions of emotions were sometimes too repetitive and slowed the pace of the story.

Overall, a lovely but sometimes heart rending story with a beautiful outcome!

"Another Chance at Love" (Book 1) was the first book I've read by this author. It is a good, clean Christian romance about second chances. It also has a good message about the importance of forgiving others, AND ourselves. I gave it 4⭐️ only because I had a bit of a hard time getting into the storyline at the beginning of the book. Since I had promised to review the book when I received an early copy, I kept reading... and I'm truly glad I did! This book is worth reading and I do recommend it.

it’s about real life

In today’s world, it seems to be all about the young but this story reflects real life. We all make mistakes and carry burdens that we wish would go away. We all do the “what if” game, But if we put our faith and trust in God, HE can take our mess and make it A message. This author brought all these issues to the surface and showed us readers to be mindful of how you treat others and take time to see both sides of the issue.
I love this type of reading “REAL LIFE”. Thank you sooo much Laura!!!

A fine plot, great characters, repetition =4stars

"Another Chance at Love" involves three families, a secret from the past that haunts Hannah and her daughter, Desiree, and draws in the other two families and the community. Trey Channing , a widower with two teenagers, finds himself falling for Hannah, a single mother with her daughter born out of wedlock. This novel with a compelling plot and interesting, well-drawn characters is compromised by repetions of Hannah's and Trey's excuses for denying their budding love. The editor did not do a good job.

[J Young · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a beautiful story!

Trey and Hannah's story is the type that dreams are made of. His desire to serve God through ministry could be hard to reconcile with his feelings for an unwed mother. Having three teenagers always makes relationships challenging, but their feelings for each other are pure and true. In spite of complications and petty attitudes, their faith brings them a happily ever after. I received a free copy but my review is honest and voluntary.

Another Chance At Love is a Christian, heartwarming, inspirational, second chance romance. Once I began reading I could not put the book down. This wonderful, well written book is filled with broken people who with God's help, will heal and find their lives have a new purpose. Ms. Haley-McNeil's books always make me feel like I am part of the story. This is a beautiful, Christian (not preachy) age-gap romance. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

Hannah had a child out of wed-lock and thinks she is not worthy of any mans love but God's. Trey lost his wife and thought that was his only chance at love. God had other plans for both of them. This was the first book of Miss Laura's I read and it was filled with lots of God's wisdom and much faith. I can't wait for the next book. This book was so good I went and bought some more of her books. I was given an ARC book of this and my review was freely given.
