Worth the Wait
Home for his brother’s wedding, Alex Karlsson meets a woman who captures his attention and makes him start thinking about the future. As the founder of the Marriage First ministry, Alex has always advocated sexual purity and waiting for marriage. His prayer has been to find a wife who also feels the same way. He feels a connection with Serena Menard and wonders if she might be the one he’s been waiting for all these years.
Serena can’t deny that Alex holds an attraction for her, but she is fairly certain that she is not the wife he been praying for. He doesn’t seem to get her subtle hints that she doesn’t think a relationship between them is a good idea. Finally she decides to give him a chance, hoping that he will see her through God’s eyes and that love will prevail.
Will long held ideals and secrets doom their relationship before it even starts? Or will they able to trust God when all hope seems lost?
“The Karlsson boys are sweet, fun, and cute! This is a great romance novel if that's what you are looking for, this is your book!”
“You get so absorbed in the reading,as if you are a part of the plot, you just can't put it down until you finish it.”
The Waiting Heart
A family crisis brings Jace Karlsson back to Minnesota and face to face with the girl he loved and abandoned eight years earlier. When the opportunity arises to help her, he hopes that it will make amends for his actions of the past. But old feelings die hard, and Jace soon realizes he feels more than guilt and remorse.
While the tragic accident left Mari with a broken and scarred body, it was Jace Karlsson's abrupt departure from her life that left her heart shattered. When he offers to help her realize a dream, Mari accepts but as she deals with the emotions of the past and the present, she wonders if the price is too high.
“As with all of her books, the characters will live in your mind. The theme of this book is guilt and forgiveness. Two topics that speak to the heart of just about everyone. It isn't preachy at all and done in a very real way”
“If you enjoy contemporary Christian romance then this is a series for you”.

Great series
I throughly enjoyed this series on the Karlsson family. Each book in the series was an excellent read. Each book had its own storyline and I had a hard time putting the books down. Loved that it is now available in a box set. Look forward to reading more from this author.

I so loved this series, wonderful, clean, heartfelt reading. I also like that characters from another series make an appearance. Theses books show even though we are flawed we can be forgiven and loved.

Loved it
These books are so worth the purchase. I usually read very different Romance books. I have read a lot of Kimberly Rae Jordan's books and loved them all. The Karlsson's books are awesome Christian books that remind us how to pray and put our faith in God. Thank you for such wonderful books... Loved all 3 books. I can't wait to read more books by Kimberly.
