MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

Luke was home after an injury, and he walked into the B and B to find that his old flame had taken over; she now has triplets. But did she have a husband? Would this have an effect on his coming back to his hometown? Searching for Home by Jill Weatherholt is a Love Inspired sweet story of forgiveness and second chances. I loved the flawed characters and the way they developed and wanted to better themselves as the story unfolds. There was some harsh baggage that had to be dealt with, a lot of emotions flying around. But isn’t that like real life? This story is so realistic. These characters are so realistic. And those twins stole my heart. You need to read this one. I’m giving this Five Stars, and you will understand why when you read this one!A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

More from Jill

It happened in slow motion.

I was traveling on the interstate at 65 mph, in the far-left lane. The traffic was heavy but moving.

Then the unthinkable happened. A wheelbarrow fell off the back of a pickup truck in front of my car.

Swerving to my right lane wasn’t an option, it was full of cars. The left shoulder was narrow and led to a steep drop off.

I gripped the wheel and had a split second to weigh my options. If I maintained my course, the wheelbarrow would burst through my windshield. If I went to the right, I could cause a multi-car pileup. There was a tractor trailer close behind me, so I couldn’t hit my brakes.

I prepared myself for the worst. Then I prayed to God to help me.

Moments later, when I was safely off the interstate, I burst into tears. I was still alive. No one was injured. But how? I couldn’t recall how I got to the exit ramp. How was I able to guide my car around the wheelbarrow?

Later, I realized that God was truly in control of my life. Growing up in the church and listening to my grandmother, I had always known God loved me. But that day, I felt His love more than I ever had my life. He wanted me to live. But why?

I’d like to think that He wasn’t quite finished with me. That maybe He had better things in store for me. Perhaps He blessed me with a gift to weave together a story that can give a person hope. A story that can bring a little light into what is sometimes a dark and scary world. After all, I didn’t grow up wanting to be a writer. Like that day on the interstate, it’s all God’s goodness.

He’s also unprepared for Meg’s adorable triplets to steal his heart. Luke’s past has him doubting he’s good enough for Meg and the children, but they might be just what the doctor ordered to help him heal…

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

The fact that three triplets stole Luke’s heart was the heartwarming part of this book for me. Luke was home after an injury and he walked into more than he ever thought. His old flame had taken over the B and B and and the triplets were a plus to his life right now. But where will all of this find him?

Searching for Home by Jill Weatherholt is a Love Inspired sweet story of forgiveness and second chances. I know some have the idea that Love Inspired books are not full blown stories and not worth the read, but I’m telling you, they ARE worth your read and this one was like a novella. I loved the flawed characters and the way they developed and wanted to better themselves as the story unfolds. There were some harsh baggage that had to be dealt with, a lot if emotions flying around. But isn’t that like real life. This story is so realistic. These characters are so realistic. And those twins stole my heart. You need to read this one. I’m giving this Five Stars, and you will understand why when you read this one!

In A Mother for His Twins by Jill Weatherholt, Joy Kelliher was content at living in her community and working as a teacher at the school. She now has her application in for the Principal of the school, following her dad’s footsteps. But everything is up in the air now that her old boyfriend is back in town widowed with twin boys that she is teaching. To make it worse, Nick lives across the street from her, and he has an application in for the same principal job.

I enjoyed this mixed up story. Both Joy and Nick has secrets from their past and they are hurting, and both afraid to tell the other. I love these two characters. As well as the other characters that make up this story. They play their parts well and develop well as the story unfolds. The twins were adorable and so was Joy’s niece. The three little ones added a lot to the story. Parts of the story were more difficult to read because of the past, but the story ends up being a sweet loving romance. So, if this is your cup of tea when reading, you will love this one, which I give Five Stars.

More from Jill

Back in 2019, when my editor sent me a cover mock-up for my third Love Inspired book A Mother for His Twins, I was thrilled to see the art department had used a picture of my hero’s twin boys, Jordan and Tyler Capello.

I had so much fun developing the characters of these two little rascals. Although they were twins, I wanted to make sure they each had their own unique personality.

Once I had Tyler’s character sketch completed, I went to work developing Jordan. Unlike his brother who is the outgoing one of the two, I wanted Jordan to be more quiet and shy than his twin. That’s when I decided to draw on my own experience as a child.

Like Jordan, I had a speech impediment when I was a child. I was unable to pronounce the letter R. Because of this, I was teased by my classmates. To make matters worse, once a week, my speech teacher would come and pull me from my classroom for my private session. I can still hear the giggles and murmuring that filled the room. Thankfully, with a lot of instruction and practice, I was able to overcome the impediment.

Life is full of obstacles. Looking back at what we’ve overcome gives us the confidence to keep pressing forward when we know God will never leave us.
