Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2005

Since the death of his wife, Dr. Adam Wright had his hands full practicing medicine and trying to raise his willful eleven-year-old daughter alone. What Adam needed was some divine intervention. And when Clare Randall appeared on their doorstep, he knew she was the answer to his prayers. To inherit a legacy from her beloved aunt Jo, their dear old friend, the petite blonde had agreed to be Nicole's nanny for free. Deep in his soul, Adam hoped the fragile beauty could be the one to help breach the walls Nicole—and he—had built around their hearts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality family drama, May 11, 2007

This review is from: Gift from the Heart (Sisters & Brides Series #2) (Love Inspired #307) (Mass Market Paperback)

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!)

Gift from the Heart by Irene Hannon is the second book in the Sisters & Brides series. I love Irene Hannon's writing style. She has such talent. She whole heartedly sucks you into her books. I love how she creates her stories. You watch how the twists and turns of life can affect one's faith. Then you are blessed to watch them heal. It is very moving for me when I am able to take away lessons from authors and apply them to my life. This book sends a great message and is a wonderful read!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'M ADDICTED TO IRENE HANNON'S BOOKS, July 2, 2005

This review is from: Gift from the Heart (Sisters & Brides Series #2) (Love Inspired #307) (Mass Market Paperback)

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!
