Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2001

COULD SHE GO HOME AGAIN?

Paula Hansen had her doubts about returning to Bedford Creek and Alex Caine—the man she'd once loved—but she knew she couldn't deny her aunt's request. So she'd turned to God for guidance, and heard His answer loud and clear. She needed to put memories of their past aside and help bring this proudly independent father and his troubled son closer together….

Burdened with saving his family's company, Alex soon discovered Paula was the answer to his prayers. And now that he'd been blessed with a second chance, he'd do anything to make sure that this time, Paula would be in his life forever!

More About the Author

I realized I wanted to be a writer at age eight, when I read my first Nancy Drew novel, The Secret of the Old Clock. Most little girl reach the end of that book wanting to be Nancy. I wanted to be the person who created the story!
The dream lay hidden for years while I became a teacher, married, had children...all the usual things. But eventually it re-surfaced, and I began to write, beginning with short children's stories for Sunday school take-home papers. It seemed a long time until that first acceptance, but eventually I began to sell. After some three hundred published short stories, I finally found the courage to work on the novel I'd always wanted to write.
Thirty-some published novels later, I still feel the same excitement every time I begin a new book--a mix of not believing I can do it combined with an overwhelming urge to see the story on the page.
A lifetime spent in rural Pennsylvania and my own Pennsylvania Dutch roots eventually led me to the books I'm writing now about the Amish. The Pleasant Valley Amish series from Berkley Books are longer, more complex emotional stories with Amish main characters, while my forthcoming HQN suspense novels are more adventure-filled books set in Pennsylvania Dutch country. I'm also writing a Love Inspired series, The Bodine Family, set on the South Carolina coast where we have a second home.
When I'm not writing, I'm busy with church activities, traveling, and spending time with my three children and six beautiful grandchildren.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good...., July 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Father Most Blessed (Hometown Heroes, Book 3) (Love Inspired #128) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was good, although if you read alot of Inspirational Romance books, you'll probably reconigize the plot immediately, and there wasn't any shockers, nothing too unusual, that you weren't at all expecting.

Typical story of Dad with Kid, who needs a housekeeper/nanny and old g/f ends up with the job. There's several good scenes, but this is not a book to re-read.

Although, it's not really an 'expensive' book, so I could definitely say it's worth the money, for a one-time read, but not something you'd want to hang onto forever.

This review is from: Father Most Blessed (Hometown Heroes, Book 3) (Love Inspired #128) (Mass Market Paperback)

Paula Hensan's aunt Maida was Alexander Cain's standin mom/ housekeeper when she needed to have surgery she asked her neice to step in as housekeeper for Alexander and his son Jason.
This book thank God if normal, although you know they will fall in love, and live happy ever after it is always good to know that sill happens even if it is a book.
Alexander has been hurt, and is afraid to trust, but Jason has no hang ups like that.
Soon you want to know more about the town of Bedford PN, and the other people you meet there.
I like Marta Perry and the way she writes, she isn't too preachy and she puts romance into the book.
I also like Eva Rutland, Susan Fox Helen Brooks, Rebecca Winters, Essie Summers, and Diana Palmer.
