A beautiful love story
I started reading A Time for Singing after church on Sunday and couldn’t stop. The characters, Charlee and Chance, are so well developed that emotions jump off the pages into your heart. Both suffer from betrayals in their past, and both are cautious not to hurt or be hurt again. The neat twist is the SDS (secret drawer society), a place where they can share their past heartaches with the safety of anonymity. A Time for Singing shows God’s amazing patience with broken people; His quiet guidance; and His relentless sovereignty. We may give up on each other, but God never gives up on us. I love the reminder of Zeph. 3:17 – God rejoices over us with singing. I give this book my highest recommendation.

The main female lead, Charlee is as comfortable to read as your favorite pair of worn blue jeans. She is strong-willed, which gets her into some predicaments, and a savvy businesswoman.
I love Chance, the Juilliard-trained musician, Chance the country music star, and Chance the worship leader. The characters are so vivid.
The multiple layers of this character showed Chance's spiritual progression throughout the novel.
The secret letters Charlee finds in the drawer of the Inn are symbolic of the way God writes love letters in His word. I think that was my biggest takeaway from this book, that God always gives us second chances. Corrie Ten Boom said “There is no pit so deep, that God's love is not deeper still.” "A Time For Singing" skillfully illustrates this truth. I highly recommend this book.

Not long into Carol James’ A Time for Singing, the love triangle became obvious: Bad-Boy-Reminiscent-of-the-Guy-Who-Dumped-the-Heroine-at-the-Altar vs. Mr.-Perfect-in-Every-Way. But not only did the author put a delightful spin on this common trope, she served it up with a dose of mystery. And if you’re a music lover (like me), all those authentic details added layers to the story in a fresh, unique manner.
One of James’ strengths is bringing a scene to life in a multi-sensory way. Sitting in silence at the side of a lake becomes a “concerto of nature” with everything from the sounds of the lapping waves to crashing overhead tree limbs to “the piccolo trill of birds.” The author’s rich descriptions put the reader right in the scene.
It took a while for these characters to grow on me, but once they did, I couldn’t let go. The inevitable happy ending kept looking more and more impossible. Every time it was within reach, James snatched it away! I found myself begging the characters: no, don’t let her leave! and tell him how you feel! Never have I wanted to knock two fictional characters’ heads together as I did with these two!
The spiritual truths in this book are deep, the characters flawed, and God’s grace and mercy flows. Brava, Carol James!

Carol James will sweep you away and bless your heart with her latest romance. Chance and Charlee have both been hurt and have built walls around their hearts. Charlee has sworn not to let another musician into her life but when Chance arrives, the best made plans go out the window. Chance is flawed, but he's working on his imperfections. If only he could see himself the way others do, and the way God does.
The SDS society was a fun twist. James also has me hankering for English chocolate.
Carol James will have you turning pages to see how Chance and Charlee get their happily-ever-after. Another winner from Carol James.
I received a complimentary copy from the author, but the opinion is my own. Reading Carol James' latest was a delight.

Charity “Charlee” Bennett is doing just fine, thanks for asking. She’s gotten over a break-up with a man she thought meant “forever,” and she’s thrown herself into her gift shop, “Bits of Britain,” in Crescent Bluff, Texas. She doesn’t need romance, and she’s not so sure about God either. Where was God when her fiancé left her just before their wedding?
Chance Jackson is coming back from a deeper abyss. He’s grateful to his God for pulling him up, but he knows each day is a gift. He’s thrilled to be able to perform country music with some old friends, at an inn in Crescent Bluff. From the book: “It had been three years since he’d played with the guys. Thank you, Father, for not being done with me.”
There’s a definite physical pull from the first day Chance and Charlee meet, with him whanging away at the “needle in her attractiveness meter.” But she’s been hurt before, and doesn’t like the way he makes her feel.
From the book: “Her heart began to steer down a familiar road, one she could to permit herself to travel again, and she stomped on the brake.”
Chance is attracted to the pretty businesswoman, but he stomps on his own brakes, unsure if he can let a woman into his still-reconstructing life. And like her, he’s been left at the altar. Unlike her, it was the literal altar.
Charlee’s uneasiness grows when she learns that Chance is a professional musician. Her ex-fiance, Jake, was also a musician, and put his career above their relationship. From the book: “She’d told herself she hated music. It had ruined her life by stealing her future.”
But music is everything to Chance, especially now. Redeemed and reassembled, he wants nothing but to serve his Lord through song.
From the book: “Music had been his life – so much a part of who he was, and for years he’d used it only for personal gain. To now have the opportunity to glorify his Father through music was humbling.”
Though Chance has come to Crescent Bluff to serve as the local church’s worship pastor, Charlee still has her doubts. Music is music, isn’t it? She’s cut herself off from any aspect of music – listening, going to concerts, and especially performing. But one night she happens upon Chance in the Travelers Rest chapel, and God begins to chip away at her defenses.
From the book: “The music stopped, and her soul yearned for more. She was empty and had been for such a long time.”
Charlee and Chance both find healing through a quaint custom at the Inn, the SDS Letters. In a certain room, an old desk holds correspondence. Guests are welcome to put their own missives in the desk, and wait for a reply. Through the exchange of letters, Chance and Charlee begin to bond, though neither knows who the other is. Charlee is distracted by another man, who seems perfect, and she doesn’t recognize Chance for what he is and what he can be to her.
Can Charlee and Chance look behind the letters to see each other?
In the hands of another writer, the book could have ended there, as a respectable clean romance. But James deepens the conflict, drawing the reader into Chance’s dark night of the soul, and hammering home the point that only God is sufficient for Chance’s and Charlee’s needs. James brings her point home, and brings Chance home, with a realistic look into his struggles. It’s not pretty, but it has to be done.
Chance tells himself that Charlee deserves “someone without baggage.” But Charlee, who has come a long way in a few short months, says, “We’re not defined by what’s happened in our lives or who other people say we are, but by what God’s done in our lives and who He says we are.”
It’s a harrowing journey, but good for Chance and good for the reader.
James’s young hero and heroine are charming and well-drawn. She shows off her music chops with realistic insight into the performers’ life and lifestyle. And her descriptions of her own little corner of Texas are breathtaking. From the book: “The wind blew in a cold front last night, transforming the skies from dark summer slate to brilliant winter periwinkle.” Makes me want to be there, and I don’t particularly care for winter anywhere.
It’s always fun to visit Crescent Bluff, James’s signature town and the setting for James’s “Season of Hope: and “No Longer a Captive.” It’s nice to see Pastor Josh Lewis, now seasoned and “Dr. Lewis,” and to see him sharing his own early struggles with Chance. Josh has come full circle, using his past to help others, and helping his young worship pastor toward wholeness.
But most of all, Charlee and Chance find their wholeness, with God and each other. James is skilled at taking flawed characters with painful backgrounds and bringing them to the light. She deals with sensitive issues – child abuse, addiction, unwed mothers in the 1960s – with compassion, always pointing her characters toward the Risen Christ.
This is a powerful story of redemption, and James’s best so far. Highly recommended.

“A Time for Singing” by Carol James is the story of Charlee Bennett who is running from her sad past. Deserted by her musician ex-fiancé, she avoids anything that reminds her of his betrayal. Meanwhile, Chance Jackson is starting over in an effort to redeem the mistakes of his past. He wants to become a music and worship pastor. That’s when Charlee discovers an old letter in the secret drawer of an antique desk. The pain expressed by its sensitive author resonates deep within her heart. Can words penned so long ago help Charlee’s pain-stricken heart to discover that there is always a time for singing again? All the authentic details in this multi-layered story bring scenes to life in a multi-sensory way. The serene silence at the side of a lake becomes a “concerto of nature” with the sounds of lapping waves and “the piccolo trill of birds.” The spiritual truths in this story are deep and God’s grace and mercy flows abundantly. This is a story of past hurts, forgiveness, and learning to love and trust again, as life continues on its altered scale.

A hope and a future! Is it possible for two people to overcome past hurts and regrets to see God’s plans for them?
The book “A Time for Singing” is a beautifully written love story with a few twists. Who doesn’t like a story filled with emotions?
The author, Carol James, creates characters that are easy to like and admittedly a few I wanted to shake. The characters are portrayed as having some personality flaws, but God’s grace is revealed throughout.
The plot is centered on the biblical verse of Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.”, however, Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”, could easily be applied.
Beautiful and tender! Highly recommend this book.

"One of his college professors had told him that the area of the brain that governs creativity is the same area from which all strong emotions originate. That musicians and artists in general often felt things more deeply than non-musical or non-artistic people. He’d never checked that out to see if it was a scientific fact, but he knew one thing.
Music moved him in a way nothing else could. And when used in worship, it brought his soul to life."
I love this quote from the book. I can relate to it so much, and it brought me to tears when I read it. I LOVE that Chance has a tattoo, and the meaning behind it is so powerful; I want one just like it! I'm totally in love with him.
If you like music, tattoos, Jesus, and love triangles, you'll want to read this book!

Charlee and Chance are both broken souls. Charlee was jilted by a musician so she cuts music out of her life. Sensitive and afraid to trust, she pins her hopes on the one heart she thinks she understands--the one who wrote a letter left anonymously at the inn. Chance is making a new start in life, but his past haunts him and he cannot believe he'll ever be good enough for another woman. There are ups and downs as the two struggle against barriers of their own making. But the story is not simply about the characters' angst. The ups are cute. For instance, there is one covert operation where Charlee and Chance deliver Christmas gifts to a needy family.
The book is about the healing of two wounded hearts and as such it is honest and refreshing. A worthwhile tale to sink into and enjoy.

Do you choose the "perfect" guy or do you go with the guy that is a musician like the one that left you at the alter? That's the dilemma for Charlee in this wonderful book. Ms. James does a wonderful job of pulling you right into the story and you just can't stop reading. There is some of everything. There's mystery and romance and inspiration. This author's writing is sometimes just magical and this book is one of those. I really enjoyed the book and I highly recommend it.

Carol James has done it again! Her writing is wonderful! I was hooked from the first page of her new book, A Time For Singing! Her characters are so real and believable. I loved the entire story of Chance and Charlee but the part I liked the best was the SDS society and the secret drawer in the desk. The author also brings Biblical truths into the story that makes you think. Two thumbs up for this book! Enjoy!

The author has orchestrated another unputdownable story—a sweet harmony of engaging characters, clean romance, and an ever-evolving plot, complete with high and low notes. I loved the various music scenes as much as I appreciated the characters’ honest soul searching. And when I reached the end, I discovered the author had added a helpful devotional moment. I highly recommend this beautiful story to women of all ages.
June 5, 2022
I enjoyed this one, although i got very confused at one point as to who exactly Charlee was falling for, Noah or Chance. See, once I start a book, I never refer to the blurb, just dive into the story. Anyway, this one is set in a small town where everyone knows everyone and is just right to curl up with on a summer’s evening. Even if I did want to slap a couple of them a few times ;-)
June 18, 2022
Carol James has done it again. A Time for Singing is a meaningful, inspirational story. Charlee was hurt and betrayed by a musician and decided music no longer had a place in her life. While she still believes in God, the betrayal has colored her thinking about everything.
Chance is a musician. He’s had a difficult past as well. When he and Charlee meet, we root for him to show Charlee that music can be a blessing. Both characters are so well developed, you believe they are real people with real struggles. I found myself thinking about the story and looking forward to getting back into it every time I took a break. If you like to read romance that will inspire you, you’ll love this book.

Carol James’s love of music is evident in this romance where forgiving oneself and others reigns supreme. A beautiful story of second chances.
May 24, 2022
Charlee was distrusting of Chance since their first meeting, him being a singer and musician. It reminded her of the heartache she endured when being left at the altar by her ex fiance, also a musician. But Chance was different, how much she would find out soon enough. He also had to deal with heartache and much more than she could ever imagine. But he had the strength to turn his life around, being the better man. Could she find it in herself to trust again? And him, can he let himself be vulnerable? This is a story of past hurts, forgiveness, also forgiveness for yourself, learning to trust and love again. I received an ARC copy and am leaving a voluntary review.

Just Perfect
I loved this book! In all honesty I expected a fast romance, and Christian, of course, but I received much more instead. Christian? Yes. Love? Yes. Loss? Yes. Music to soothe the soul? Yes. I could go on and on about the number of things I could check off, but Amazon would probably not allow me to write a short story in my review. When your soul loves another deeply, both pain and love surface, the main couple in this novel had their share of trials for sure. Many people must reach rock bottom, before they can climb back out. Some make it. Some do not. If you can crawl out of a dark place, this book will touch you. If you are in a dark place, read this novel as you will be lifted by the positive nuances and Jesus. The melody of life awaits those who read this book by Carol James. Five shiny gold stars.

I had an ARC for this book, but this is my voluntary and honest opinion. Charlee Bennett has not often gone to church or enjoyed singing since her musician fiancé broke up with her. After Chance Jackson was left at the alter he went off the deep end for a time, now he has returned to God and is the new worship leader at Charlee’s church. As she tries to tell herself she’s not attracted to him, she finds old letters in a desk at the local inn and adds a letter of her own. The plot includes themes of forgiveness, trust and becoming closer to God. An uplifting book I would highly recommend.
July 13, 2022
I was sure that the last book Mrs. James wrote would always be my favorite. She has proven me wrong. A time for Singing is my new favorite. I love the main character Charlee. Trust doesn’t come easy for a lot of people, including Charlee. I really enjoyed seeing how she worked through her trust issue. Mrs. James brings this story to life with real-life issues. She lets the characters struggle in a way that real people would. This story reminds the reader that God gives us a second chance.
July 12, 2022
What a beautifully written story full of hope, inspiration, forgiveness and second chances. This book will stay in your mind long after you turn the last page. I loved it and highly recommend it.

This isn't my typical read, but I absolutely loved it! This is a new to me author as well, and I believe I will be reading more for her.
