A Match Made in Texas Chatam House Arlene James 9780373814565 Books

I really loved this book! In the beginning of the book you meet Kaylie. She is a pediatric nurse who has quit her job in order to take care of her father who had a heart attack six months ago. She is asked by her 3 spinster aunts to come to their mansion at her earliest convenience. It is there that she meets Stephen a very injured hockey player for the blades. He is in need of a nurse and her aunts think she is the right woman for the job. As the book progresses you learn that Stephan has a painful past and is in need of not only Gods forgiveness, but he needs to forgive himself. Kaylie struggles with trying to take care of her father, who is becoming more and more demanding although, he really can do for himself. She is spread thin with trying to divide her time between her father, and Stephen. Her father has lost not one but two wives and seems to be a very angry man who is afraid of being alone. Because of this he continues to tell Kaylie that God calls some people to singleness. Kaylie struggles with this because she longs to be a wife and mother. As time goes on Kaylie finds herself having feelings for Stephen but asking God why it has to be a man who is so unlike the person she would imagine for herself.
This is a great story of love, forgiveness, and learning to follow God's plan not the plans others may have. The characters were extremely likable and really developed through out the book. I found myself being able to relate to them as well as their struggles. It is a must read!

A Match Made in Texas Chatam House Arlene James 9780373814565 Books Reviews

I enjoyed this book very much. It is part of a series and I read the whole series. This book, however, was probably my favorite one in the series! I liked the characters and storyline very much!
Very enjoyable and inspirational, in that, no matter what - you need to pray and trust God to 'handle' things. And learn that not everyone is called to be single but that most are called to marry and have kids (adopt, take care of... whatever you are called to do).

this is a simple love story yet there are many bumps in the road. As always Clean, Christian good reading material.

Update

Wow! I don't know what I was thinking when I read/reviewed this book the first time. This book was EXCELLENT!!! Kaylie Chatam was a sweetheart and very lucky to get to take care of such a sexy hocky player! The end of this book just warmed me all over - it was so sweet how her whole family got them together to admit the truth...I just absolutely LOVED this book!!!

Stephen wasn't a Christian and had done so many bad things in his past. But he's human and he has regrets. The fact that he's looking for answers now is important. Kaylie's father had a bad attitude and needed someone like Stephen to set him straight.

A hocky player and a nurse? Well, is did work out - sure enough! I could not find anything wrong with this book this time. I thought that Steven's attitude was right no, and I loved their romance! To think that I gave this book three stars the first time around just amazes me - what WAS I thinking??? So romantic and sweet!

Previous review below

This book was about Kaylie Chatam, one of the Chatam triplets' nieces. She had three older brothers and a father (twice widowed) who was being a big baby about his medical conditions...AND about a man named Stephen Gallow, a famous hockey player for the Blades.

What I liked about this book
It dealt with tough issues. Stephen was a worldly as one could get. He liked to party and drink. He lost his cousin after a drunk driving accident, and he was the drunk driver. He is in his current state of broken bones not from a hockey accident, but from again, getting behind the wheel of a car and driving through his garage, only to land in his fire place. Half his house fell on him. The book also hinted that his relationships with the opposite sex were possible one night stands and pure sexual...These were tough issues to deal with, and in the end showed the forgiveness Kaylie had for this man and how the Holy Spirit can change your life.

What I didn't like about this book
I could not connect with the characters. I couldn't see the two falling in love. There were a couple stolen kisses before Stephen had any inkling that he wanted to have anything to do with God, and it seems Kaylie fell for him before he was saved. At the end of one chapter, they were only luke-warm about each other. Then in the next, they were engaged...I didn't quite believe it happened...

But mostly, I think it was a personal thing - I simply could not connect with these characters...
Most books I buy are connected to ones I already have so know I will love them.
This book called A Match Made in Texas (Love Inspired) is a must read book. The story is so beautiful...All books I have read that are the (Love Inspired) books are good reading material...
Kaylees strong Christian beliefs and service to others is the base of this Christian love story. The Chatam sisters are up to making sure God's will wins in the end. I love these stories.
This book has a pretty interesting plot and held my interest. It is a light romance--which was what I wanted. Great writing, good story line--I highly recommend this "guy gets the girl" story.
