Chasing Daniel's Daughter (Daniel's Daughters, Book 3) by Mindy Steele

Chasing Daniel's Daughter (Daniel's Daughters series Book 3)
ABOUT THE BOOK

After a storm destroyed her family's home, Martha Jane Raber was certain Aiden would rush back to Miller’s Creek to be with her. While waiting to become his wife, M.J. offers to help a friend learn to read. As the season blooms around Miller’s Creek, M.J. grows more determined than ever to get her own happy-ever-after.

If Sam Lewis could change one thing about himself, it would be the smudge on his last name. Taking a job with Daniel Raber might have cost him, but he soon discovers a new friendship with a woman who speaks to rainclouds and roosters. Being only her friend while she pines over another takes some strength, but Sam knows his place. That was, until M.J. disappears and Sam has no choice but to chase after the miller’s daughter.







MY THOUGHTS.....

This book continues a story that first captured my heart several years ago. Daniel Raber instantly became a husband and father when he rescued a young widowed mother and her three little girls from a tragic situation. Their captivating love story showed that heroes don't always wear capes, and the best fathers aren't always biological! 

In the third and final book in the Daniel's Daughters series, the little girls Daniel Raber chose to father have all grown up. Two are married, and the youngest is hoping to be a bride soon, if her intended beau ever returns to Miller's Creek. Martha Jane is concerned, but this doesn't change her sweet, caring nature. Becoming friends with Sam Lewis sets the stage for an unexpected development. Had M.J. been considering the wrong person for her happily-ever-after?

Author Mindy Steele shares an engaging story of love, faith, devotion, and family. I loved returning to Miller's Creek, reuniting with many of M.J.'s friends and family, and watching Daniel become a typical father bear when his daughters are involved. Chasing Daniel's Daughter warmed my heart and left me convinced that Steele has no limits in creativity or writing ability! It is enjoyable as a standalone, but I suggest you read His Amish Wife's Hidden Past, the book that started it all, and the other books in the Daniel's Daughters series!

I received a copy from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A K-9 Christmas Blessing (Aspen Creek Cowboys #2; K-9 Companions Book 50)) by Tina Radcliffe

A K-9 Christmas Blessing: An Uplifting Inspirational Romance (K-9 Companions Book 50)
ABOUT THE BOOK

Can a sweet Christmas K-9

Make this sudden reunion bright?

After rescuing an injured beagle, therapy dog trainer Jo Webster reluctantly turns to the new veterinarian in town, who’s also her former fiancĂ©. But when Nate Morris suggests a prosthetic leg for the wounded dog, there’s no way Jo can afford it. Reluctantly, she agrees to a part-time job at his clinic during the Christmas season to pay for the treatment. Soon, Jo learns Nate is not the same man she broke off her engagement to years ago. If they can learn to forgive each other for past hurts, they might build something new and beautiful together for the holidays—and forever.



MY THOUGHTS.....

I love second-chance stories, and what's better than second chances during the season of miracles? A K-9 Christmas Blessing is a delightful story that takes readers back to Aspen Creek, Colorado, during the holiday season. Nate, the new vet in Aspen Creek, treats a sweet pug owned by his former fiancée, and their surprise reunion sets the stage for a tender story of reconciliation, forgiveness, and healing. I loved seeing Jo and Nate's personal growth, but they don't do it alone. Author Tina Radcliffe shares an amazing cast of supporting characters, including sweet pug Romeo, strong-willed Myrtle, Jo's mother, Delilah, and Nate's sister, Maggie. I hope the epilogue's mention of Maggie's new job means she will soon be given her own story in the Aspen Creek Cowboys series. I'm especially intrigued that she'll be working at Saunders Cattle Holding! Hmm...that name sounds familiar!

Looking for a sweet, engaging romance set during the season of miracles? Grab a copy of A K-9 Christmas Blessing, turn on some Christmas music, and you will soon want to pull out your own totes filled with Christmas decorations. (Chapter 6)
