When city girl Morgan Williams arrived in Seaside, Maine, on Christmas Eve, to claim the cottage she'd inherited, she came face-to-face with the handsomest man she'd ever seen. But looks weren't the only thing that Grant Kincaid had to offer. And when he enlisted Morgan's help to raise money for Good Shepherd Camp for troubled kids, she realized there were more important things in life than expensive cars and fancy clothes. Soon Morgan was yearning for a different life...one that included faith and a strong, steadfast Grant by her side.

This review is from: The Unexpected Gift (Sisters & Brides Series #3) (Love Inspired #319) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is the third in the Sisters and Brides Trilogy by Irene Hannon and a great ending to the three. The main character is the one of three sisters that receive an inheritance from their great aunt and in order for the sisters to fully receive their inheritance they must do what she has stipulated for 6 months. This sister is a work-a-holic who must go co-own a cottage in New England and volunteer for children's camp. While doing this and through various events and getting to know the person she co-owns the cottage with, she starts to re-evaluate her life and what's important to her. It's a great story of growth, love and how God uses unexpected events to reveal amazing blessings! I highly recommend it and the two other books of the trilogy: The Best Gift and Gift from the Heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars A satisfying ending to a much loved series!, May 11, 2007

This review is from: The Unexpected Gift (Sisters & Brides Series #3) (Larger Print Love Inspired #319) (Mass Market Paperback)

I appreciated the respectful way the characters in this series interacted with each other, even when their philosophies were so different - it's so much more realistic that the hostile bickering that's often prevalent in other romance novels. Like Grant, I was prepared to view Morgan negatively based on her workaholic attitude. She was so desperately in need of a conversion! Her moments of epiphany - seeing and disliking herself in Grant's mother, and realizing that no one is indispensible no matter how hard they work - were very poignant. Learning not to put a carrer before faith and family is an important lesson for all of us!

All-in-all, this was a wonderfully presented, easy to read, and very satisfying trilogy!

The Unexpected Gift by Irene Hannon is a fabulous book. I have enjoyed the previous two books in this series and really wasn't sure about this book when I first started it. I was a little apprehensive about how the author was going to handle Grant's story, but I think the author handled it beautifully. I love epilogues and this one was great. I wondered if we would get any weddings with this being the last book in the series and I am so happy that Mrs. Hannon did not disappoint. She is a fantastic author and a definite go to Christian read.
