One of the sweetest romances
I loved this book. All the characters were sweet, but it was the man and his boys!! Triplet boys, three years old, and my heart went through the book page by page!! Can't wait to read the next book by Jillian Hart!!

Easy to read from the beginning. Wonderfully told story.

*Sigh* Jillian Hart is a good author-she can write a story well. It's just, as many Love Inspired books are....I just do not want to read this book again. Hope Ashton come back to Montana to help her grandmother recover. Her car is stranded the first night there, and who should come to the rescue? That's right, Matthew Sheridan, the hero. She comes from a wealthy family and he has preconceived ideas about her which isn't true. Both of them are lonely and hurting, and kind of furious that his mother and her grandmother keep trying to put them together. Matthew is a widower with triplets, and Hope's only real family is her grandmother. Because of her past, she is convinced that God wants her to stay single, the pain of a miserable household and almost marriage of the same steers her away from Matthew.
Okay, you can guess where this story is going. The mother and grandmother throwing them together, the town believing them to be a couple, yeah. When the couple try to turn the tables by playing the same game, it doesn't work when they attempt it, and I think that's a weak part of the story. The ending was a bit of a mess to me, also. The climax of the story should just go there and not beat around the bush. It seemed silly when Matthew is finally brave enough to admit his love and so does she then she 'runs away' off to the airport. I think her staying there instead of running off, would have been better. So, it's well written, just a sweet story, wish that Hope and Matthew had been more open with each other. They took way too long to admit it.

A widowed father of identical triplets and a rich photographer are thrown together by his mother and her grandmother. They decide to turn the tables on Mom and Grandma and matchmake for them. Spending time together to make plans leads them to finding they are a good match as well as the matches they arrange for their elders.
I enjoyed re-reading this book again after 10 years. Was as enjoyable the second time around.

I had read the story of Noah Ashton earlier this year, and it was nice to read his sister's story now. I like how Jillian Hart's characters always find love through friendship, and how they are so 'real' as to leave you wanting to hug them or talk some sense into them by turn.
I have also noticed (and not just in Jillian's books!) that Love Inspired authors really enjoy writing spunky grandmothers into their novels. It's kinda fun!

I loved the characters! Laughed through the whole book. I only wish that two people could fall in love and actually enjoy the process instead of all the negative thoughts about how this isn't what God intended for them. Have a little faith people!
