When Tennyson Page gives a struggling single mom and her daughters a helping hand, he never imagines the impact they’ll have on his life. But having been hurt twice before by women he’d helped, Tennyson isn’t sure he’s able to interpret Olivia Duncan’s motives correctly. Is it just gratitude on Olivia’s part? Or is it something more?

His Father’s Son

Sink or Swim
by USA Today Bestselling Author Lesley Ann McDaniel
Still reeling from the dangerous relationship she fled a year ago, Jen Bloom is finally getting her head above water. Her job as a housekeeper at the Inn at Crescent Cove has been a lifesaver, and the inn’s chef—Luke Strong—has become her best friend. But what she really wants now is to manage the inn. Then another woman arrives in town to interview for the management job. Realizing that the woman has her eye on more than just the job, Jen questions her own motives for staying in Crescent Cove. Is it the town…or the promise of love?
Angel Kisses and Riversong
by Bestselling Author Lynnette Bonner
After a career ending injury, Jett Hudson escapes to a B&B in the mountains of Washington. But when he arrives and has to wake owner Salem Finn, who is sound asleep at her desk, he starts having second thoughts about his choice of lodging—even if her messy bun reminds him of a halo, and her soft gaze has a way of making him forget to breathe.
Sometimes the river of life takes unexpected turns. And sometimes those turns lead to angel kisses…and Riversong.
Skye
by Bestselling Author Heather Gray
When Skye reaches her limit, she packs a bag and runs away from it all…without realizing what she’s running toward. Sam is the only wrinkle in her plan. What happens when a woman chased by guilt and fear runs headlong into a battle-hardened Marine who isn’t used to backing down?

1. The Tenderness of His Love by Kimberly Rae Jordan
A great story about learning to trust and not allowing one’s fears to hold them back. Olivia is strong because of everything she experienced, instead of letting her circumstances beat her down, but she has to learn to accept other people’s help, and realize that she needs them. It has been fun to read about many of these same characters in her other novels.
2. A Heart Reclaimed by Elizabeth Maddrey
This second story in the Peacock Hill Romance series was another really fun story by this author about Duncan & Anna, who have to learn to work together on their project. Fun, well-developed characters & story!
3. His Father’s Son by Autumn Macarthur
A good story dealing with past mistakes and forgiveness, and with second chances.
4. Sink or Swim by Lesley Ann McDaniel
Fun story about friendship leading to a romantic relationship, and learning to trust again. It’s easy to sympathize with Jen for all she’s been through, as well as the issue of examining one’s motives, which should be common to all.
5. Angel Kisses and Riversong by Lynnette Bonner
This is the first novel I have read by Lynnette Bonner, and it was a fun, easy read! Great
characters and plot development! I loved being reminded in the story that God isn’t surprised by things like we are.
6. Skye by Heather Gray
This is another truly delightful, yet incredibly in-depth story by this author! While there are many lines that kept me laughing, there are also many lines that were heart-breaking and made me stop and think: The homeless & the way they are often treated; preconceived notions; selfishness & selflessness; relationships; fear; restoration & second chances; our failings being turned into something God can use for His Kingdom; living our lives in full color instead of in black & white; and so many more things worth pondering. I want to find time to re-read this story, but I’m hoping this author takes us back to Rainbow Falls to enjoy some of the other characters’ stories. I HIGHLY recommend this story as a great read for anyone!!!
7. Ask You Later by Jan Thompson
This is a fun story about two quirky people who are opposites, but have to learn to accept each other and trust God & His timing. My favorite line was: “maybe God brought you here for such a time as this.”
This is a great and fun collection to read for a great price!!

For those of us who DON'T have time to read in the summer (and maybe have book withdrawals ;-) This is the PERFECT Box Set. A bunch of my favorite authors with books in series that I already LOVE!!!! This set is an all around winner. I was able to easily read each of the books in an evening. They are all awesome authors with wonderful characters in great stories. This is one you don't want to miss!

Great in the middle
This was s treat, getting so many books in one. However I skipped loads of the first book and couldn't read past chapter 4 in the last book. They're sweet, but not written in a way that engaged me. The books in between, though, were each fantastic. Well written. Deep characters. Plots that weren't too predictable. Theology that didn't feel forced, fake, or corny. I'll definitely be looking for more from these authors!

These 7 amazing authors will have you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next in these books. You will feel God working throughout these stories. I had the honor to review this boxset for these wonderful ladies. I would give this set a higher rating than a five star review if I could.
July 7, 2017
I'd give all but one of the stories 4 stars. I didn't like the last book, because I didn't feel like there was any chemistry between Leon and Sophie. I liked Leon but didn't like Sophie at all. I'd give the last story 2 stars.

Excellent collection!
Each story gives a different view of life - always with Christ in the picture. Individual characters' lives can be lived through the author's words. Enjoy the whole series!

Good stuff
Great selection of inspirational romances by some very talented authors. A real pleasure reading about who we are in Christ and addressing some of the issues we all deal with in our lives

Seven Christian authors each contributed to this collection. Each one by a different author, each one standing on its own. Very glad to have found this set, and so appreciated the casual way they inserted the Christian faith into every day living.

Very nice and clean stories. Some of them very touching. Great collection. Stories of faith and trials, with lots of love.

I read more than half the stories and they were mostly three and four star reads. A great way to find new authors.

"The Tenderness of His Love"
A struggling young mom's road crosses the one of a different kind of people then the ones she's used to. Will she dare trust them? Will she dare let them help her? Will she dare hope again and open her heart to love again?
A man who's been hurt and lied to tries to avoid personally helping others, but he can't just pass by when he sees a need. But helping someone in need when you feel more towards her is not as simple as it seems. And it calls for opening up to the possibility of being hurt again, risking your security once again.
I enjoyed the story. It's a sweet romance that develops in a realistic setting. And well, I always say that if a man can love somebody's children like they were his own flesh and blood, he will love his wife more than she dares to hope.
