THE ADOPTION SURPRISE
Separated at birth and determined to become a family.
"She looks like me!" When her orphaned niece utters those words, Kelsey Harris is shocked -- not only that Morgan has a long-lost twin but that the grieving five-year-old spoke at all. Overjoyed by Morgan and Mia's instant connection, Kelsey and Zach Johnson, Mia's widowed adoptive father, agree to be friends -- and only friends. But can they ignore their growing feelings when the matchmaking sisters put their plan into action?
My Review:
Love Inspired totally aces yet another cover win! Are those little girls not adorable? And peeking out from behind the tree...just all kinds of cuteness and screams 'read me!" so I did. :-)
Winning debut novel with so much heart and faith! Really love how the faith elements anchored the whole story. Amazing insights and so inspiring. And the way the author seamlessly weaves them around the romance makes for some blissful reading time.
What a stunning premise to build a love story on -- adopted twins girls, separated at birth meet up in small town Delaware (love the location -- I haven't read any books set in this state before!) Little Mia has moved to town with her widowed dad and Morgan is struggling over the loss of her parents in a car crash and adjusting to living with her Aunt.
Kelsey and Zach's first meeting delivers all the thrills and grabbed my attention. Once they figure out that the girls are actual sisters -- well, it's bonding time so cue the swoony sighs (Zach) and gleeful chuckles over all the little girl antics! But Jackson has added quite a bit of depth with issues raised and struggles fought and I was desperately hanging on for that happily-ever-after. Hard won, but, phew, she came through in the end!
Plus I'm now friends with a slew of secondary characters that I know are clamouring for their own stories so I'm hoping the author plans to take us back to Swallow's Creek sometime real soon!
Goal Update: #3 Read more Debut authors, #5 Diversify my reading
