Clare Randall is thrilled to receive a bequest from her great-aunt. With her bank account on fumes since tragedy upended her life, a cash infusion is just what she needs. But she's not as thrilled about the strings attached to her legacy. In order to claim her inheritance, she has to work as a nanny for six months for Dr. Adam Wright-a widower she's never met who lives more than a thousand miles away. What was Aunt Jo thinking?Adam is equally shocked when Clare reaches out to him with her odd story. Yet cautious as he is about letting a stranger into his life, he does need help with his truculent and uncooperative eleven-year-old daughter. And maybe, with her teaching credentials, Jo's great-niece will be able to smooth out the waters between him and his daughter¿and help him learn a few lessons about love along the way.
This is a classic Love Inspired story of lost souls learning to let go of guilt and pain from the past so they can move forward and build a new family-life together. As stipulated in Aunt Jo's will, in order to claim her inheritance, niece Clare, who is a teacher, must serve as a Nanny for a widowed Doctor for six-months. I appreciated that the welfare of the child, Nicole, and her relationship with the adults was given priority over the developing romance between her father, Adam, and her nanny, Clare. I also liked how the adults learned to place trust in God and allow Him to steer their destiny, because His plan isn't always what we plan for ourselves. That's an important lesson for all of us to reflect upon. Of the three sisters in this trilogy, Clare is the warmest and the one who moved me to laughter and tears as I read her story. (AJ in the first book is the strongest and most resilient sister, and the one I admired the most!)
I'M ADDICTED TO IRENE HANNON'S BOOKS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I'm a #1 Fan of the IRENE HANNON'S FAN CLUB! In fact I could be its President! I really loved #1 "Sisters & Brides" THE BEST GIFT and now? The #2, GIFT FROM THE HEART is as good if not even more enjoyable. And? Yet to come in the trilogy? #3 THE UNEXPECTED GIFT should be just as stupendous. Mrs.Hannon can weave a tale unsurpassed in the genre of Inspirational Romance. Both of these two #1 and #2 novels were rated by the ROMANTIC TIMES MAGAZINE as four and a half stars. (I happen to like them even more!) So? If you have a couple of days and want to be entertained and romanced properly? Buy these two books and see if I'm not right!
