Moore Family #1
The Gifted Groom
Max Moore is known as the most gifted of the Texas Titan Triplets. Having refused to sign with the Titans unless they brought on his triplet brothers, Miles and Mason, Max expected to have a few more years with his brothers to raise their 15-year-old twin sisters.
Max’s job is to protect the quarterback from his blindside, but Max is unable to protect himself from being blindsided when his brothers are traded and cut from the team. When a striking woman purchases a date with him at a benefit auction, he knows his life is about to change.
Rosemary White, a columnist with the popular sports’ tabloid The Daily Sun, is given the assignment to purchase a date with the strapping NFL football star Maximillian Moore with the anticipation of uncovering his dark secrets in a sensational exposé. She needs her job to keep her family from losing their home, but when she finds herself falling in love with the handsome football player, her obligations to her family and employer are put to the test. Will she write the family secrets she’s uncovered, or will she choose to trust that Max’s love will protect her own heart from being blindsided?

The Gifted Groom was written by Sarah Gay - a wonderful author whom I've never heard of. This story was sweetly intense. Yet, it described the best parts of life within a family: love, trust, laughter and joy. I truly enjoyed this story and all of the characters resonated with me. I gave this story 5 out of 5 stars for its originality, sweet moments, and the happy ever after it deserved.

Clean romance
Even when you are a great_grandma it is fun to read about the young romance in different places around the world. Because of my deeply religious background I enjoy a book that does not use language that I myself do not use. If I had older teens or young adult children it would not be upsetting to see them reading a book of this type. Thank you.

3.5 stars
I think I would have liked this better as a full length novel or at least longer. It is really short and the romance moves super fast. I mean they are kissing upon first meeting and then they are pretty much in love. I love the idea of triplet football players in a story but they are super protective of their sisters, yet they invite pretty much a complete stranger to be the nanny? It would have been nice to be able to mesh out more of a relationship before things moved forward so fast. But if you are willing to overlook that kind of stuff then it is an interesting storyline and likable characters. It is a fluff romance and a pleasant way to relax for a couple hours of reading.
Sex: lots of kissing
Language: no
Violence: no

The gifted groom
This story was a well written book on love and commitment. Max was part of a set of triplets and a reporter Rosemary. Max and his brothers had a set of twin sisters to raise from the time they were ten until their sisters were 18. All three boys were part of a football team until they got separated and had to go their separate ways. Rosemary was given the option of buying Max at a charity auction. The rest of the story I leave to your imagination and chance to read a very addictive book. This is my review of a free Arc read and one I thoroughly enjoyed reading . This is my review and mine alone. Norma Gorrill

Too Good to be True?
Rosemary, a sports Columnist, is assigned to write an expose on the famous football player, Max Moore. She is even given money to bid on him at a banquet to win a date and get well acquainted to learn what she needs to know for this expose. What if he is better than he seems? What if she falls in love with him? She doesn't want to lose her job. What if he falls in love with her? The path to sorting this out has some bumps and bends along the way. An inspiring romantic read. I love it.

Rose gets talked into going to a celebrity auction and bidding on Max, who is one of triplet brothers who play football. Then there are twin sisters, who the brothers raised after the death of their parents. Not sure how that worked as the girls were newborns and the brothers were only 10 at the time. Max ends up hiring Rose to act as nanny to his sisters temporarily due to an emergency in the first nanny's family. Rose's boss keeps wanting her to write a nasty article airing Max's acts, but there are none to write about. Along the way, Max and Rose fall in love, have a falling out over the article, but there is a happy ending after all. This is a clean, sweet romance.

Just now finished and I got a wipe my tears so I can type this.
There are a few books I have said this about but this is the one that I have just finished. This book is more real than any of the others. These are real people and their actions come from a heart of love in extreme, difficult situations. Until the very end, I did not think this one was going to have a good ending. I had to finish it before I could go to sleep.

With a name like Maximilian Moore, a guy would have to be magnificent. Max is definitely that. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find any faults in him or his unusual family. That's a problem when your tasked with finding dirt on him. Even more of a problem is losing your heart to such perfection. Delicious!

The Gifted Groom: Texas Titan Romance is by Sarah Gay. Of all the Texas Titan romances I have read, this is the one that does not live up to the standard set by the others. There is no real action, suspense, nor even much romance in the book. It is rather dull reading. I just kept reading it hoping something would happen. It was just really a let-down.

Funny and touching
This is my first read from Sarah Gay, and will not be the last. Football player Max and articles writer Rose, is a truly touching love story. Clean and simple. Max' s family is just beautiful. Placing their faith in this story, was just icing on the cake. Job well done! Now onto the next of the Moore family.

There is a great story here
The story is great. A reporter goes undercover for an exclusive story and finds more than she could imagine. See, great love story.
The telling however was choppy, and while the characters were charming and likable, their actions and words at times seemed nonsensical.
None of this however will dissuade me from reading the entire series.

Oh My Heart!!
What a beautiful story all around. Who would have thought that an NFL athlete could actually have a heart and be a wonderful human being to boot!! Max and Rosemary's story was beautiful, well written, and full of love of family and God. It doesn't get any better!! The Gifted Groom is definitely definitely a must read!

The Moores! What a great family!
Rosemary and Max are a fabulous couple! I could feel the tension. The love and forgiveness they showed was true to their characters. And I’m truly in love with Max and his family! I would love to read more about them.

I felt like this book had been written, chopped apart, then put back together. It was almost uncomfortable to read. Also, too much happened too fast and there was very little about the entire story that felt believable.

Tenderness
Max is a kind and loving man As a brother, Christian, and a football player all sides are brought to life in this book. The love he shows for his family and for his way of life are what make this book exceptional.

A great story for television series.
Any of Sarah Gay 's books could be on a television series. In this story, Max and Rosemary were the best characters. The author gives good lessons in her writings so I will let you enjoy this book as I did. Happy reading.

Always enjoy the Texas Titan's books, I thought he was way too forgiving of her. Especially when she really didn't give him a good explanation and wrote the article anyway, nice or not.
Moral Note: Passionate kissing
