This is a wonderful book. It is sweet and funny, especially the last chapter. You will find youself smiling over it. Two children try to get their elderly parents together. In the end, the results are delightful, though much different than they imagined. All in all, it is a wonderful book.

The Matchmakers is a wonderful book in classic Janette Oke style. It is short enough to finish in an evening, which you will want to do once you start reading! The last chapter will leave a smile on your face and satisfaction in your heart!

Janette Oke is back. This book is one of the sweetest, poignant stories I've read in a while. It shows the ironies of life in a good light. A story that brings back tender moments, and the surprise of love just happening. A must read! Two thumbs up!

This was just a fun little book to read, I really ejoyed it. I believe you will too.

I generally enjoy novellas - but not so much this one - which is too bad because I've really enjoyed Janette Oke's longer historical fiction. I started out liking the book ok - Cynthia and Judith have a strong friendship and I enjoyed "sitting in" on their coffee shop visits. The attorney, "P.C." Weston, never felt like a real character to me...it's a good ways in the book before he even says anything. And though this book is a romance, that didn't feel real to me either. Not enough detail...and I've read enough novellas to know that you don't always get alot of details. Not my cup of tea.

This is a good little book, much smaller than the others I have read but equally as good. The turn in the end was a surprise.

Cynthia and Judith are best friends. They meet for coffee and a danish each Saturday morning at the Koffee Kup.

Cynthia is concerned about her father since her mother died. She thinks he needs to find someone. She and Judith decide not to set him up, but to subtly make things convenient for him and a nice widow.

This book is a nice, warm Christian Fiction with a touch of Romance. I like the book because it has a warm, family, Christian atmosphere. There are encouraging things in this book. I also enjoy reading about warm relationships; this book is centered a lot around relationships.

I also love the book because it reminds us that God is in control and has the Master Plan.

There was a nice twist at the end.

"The Tender Years" is a very good book. I have not fineshed it yet, but I think it is very good. My mother read it and thought I might like it.
