Delightful Romance!

Do you know what I love most about the Callahan books? The stories are gentle, sweet and yet so full love you feel the characters in your bones. If I had to pick one word to sum it up, that word would be "grace." It covers everything: graceful writing; a graceful message; a heroine in need of grace and a hero and family who are quick to give it. This is the perfect conclusion to the Callahan trilogy.

What a great read!

You are always guaranteed a great read when you take on one of Sharon Gillenwater's book. I read the whole series but perhaps loved this one the most. Was very sad when it finished and we said goodbye to the Callaghan's. A great story and sweet love story. Would recommend it to all.

God's Miracles

Once again the story just got better. God does miracles each and every day most of us are just so blind to them. When he has a plan miracles happen, so his plans happen. I've seen and been in a miracles close to the one that happened to Megan during a sand storm during Desert Storm. A few years before that I had turned my back against God and was just come back to him. He used that miracle to show me just how real he is and make me never forget him.

This story should be turned into a weekly family tv show. There is so much more to this story than what is written. We need a show like this on tv. The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie were the last of the family shows. I could see the show starting with Jenna home coming and how the family along with God helped her out of her depresion and letting us see as the family grows.

The Last of the Callahan Cowboys

In Book #1 we read as Jenna Callahan married Nate , In Book #2 Chance Callahan married Emily Rose and now in Book #3 it's time for Will Callahan - the last of the Callahan Children to make his vow and commitment, however as Will is about to discover - it won't be an easy ride for him as the last eligible bachelor in the Callahan clan. Enter Megan , escaping from life she set forth to be anywhere but home and finds herself caught in a nasty storm , five months pregnant to what she nicknames Sweet Baby - Megan makes a plea to God to help save her and her child. The first chapter of the novel reminded me of Carrie Underwood's song Jesus Take the Wheel as Megan places her life in God's hands. As the storm calms down , Will and Megan cross paths as her car is wrecked and she has nowhere to go. For Will it is love at first sight despite the fact that she is unmarried and pregnant. As the novel flicks through , we read as Megan starts to get flak from some of the community and we wonder if she is ready to up and leave the Callahan ranch who have been helping her get on her feet. It is here , that Megan will discover God and who he really is and that no matter what she has been through , there are Godly and Good people out there and she has captured the hearts of one of the most godliest families in Callahan's Crossing. Will Megan flee before Will has the chance to propose as she sees herself unworthy or will Will stop being a stubborn Male and propose before it's too late ? Is Will ready to become an Instant Family ?
Find out in the conclusion to Sharon Gillenwater's Callahan Family Series "Megan's Hero".
