An Orphan's Hope

GIVEAWAY

MILLER, CHRISTINA
AN ORPHAN'S HOPE

He trusts her with his new daughter. But his wounded heart is another matter...

Twice left at the alter, preacher Jase Armstrong avoids commitment at all costs -- until he inherits his cousin's three-day-old baby. Pushing him further out of his comfort zone is Erin Tucker, the nurse for his live-in octogenarian boss, and her lessons on caring for an infant. But can Jase open his heart enough to see the family forming around him?

My Review:

"The only way Jase could get a woman to the altar was by marrying her to another man."

Bwahahaha! Best first line ever!!! But it tugged at my heart too because poor Jase, to be left at the altar twice! No surprise that he is wary of love. Luckily he has some great friends who aren't above conniving on his behalf, like octogenarian Miss Franny. :-) Who is also his boss, 'cause Jase is a wedding chapel preacher which is ironic given his history. 

As if life wasn't complicated enough, he suddenly finds himself the instant guardian of a three-day-old baby and there's no doubt he's out of his element. He has no choice but to accept the help and guidance of Miss Franny's live-in nurse, who he is also attracted to.

Remember when I said Jase was wary of love? Well, so is Erin -- if the prospective beau is a preacher! Oy -- these two are definitely not meant for each other...if only Miss Franny and her meddlesome friend Miss Eugenie understood that! :-) 

Be prepared for laughter and drama and a cast of characters who will work their way into your heart. I read this book in one sitting because it was just too good to put down!
