What can I say, but 'ahhhh'. Very satisfying read.

This is a compilation of three stories 'One Chance in a Million', 'Second Chance' and 'Taking a Chance'. The stories about the Chance brothers who live on a farm. There is 6 brothers, Gideon, Daniel, Paul, Titus, Logan and Bryce. The three stories incorporate all the brothers but each story center around one particular brother. The first is Gideon's story. Miriam sails across the ocean to see her sister Hannah who is married to Daniel Chance. When she arrives she finds that her sister has died and her two little nieces are being raised by these men. Daniel is unhappy with her being there because she looks so much like Hannah. Gideon wants to send her back. Miriam is determined to stay. Who wins? The second story is Titus's story. Alisa is running from the Law for a crime she didn't commit. She is on the stage bound for Reliable and meets up with Titus. They are drawn to each other right off. However, Titus had previously asked a girl in town to marry him but she turned him down. Now seeing him with another girl...she wants to change her mind. Things do get a little complicated and cute. The third story is about Paul. Miriam's cousin Delilah finds herself alone when her gambling father dies and she has nowhere to go. She decides to go see Miriam (who she has kept in touch with). Paul is the kind of strong man that Deliah needs but can she ever trust another man when her father has let her down all her life?

I thoroughly enjoyed these stories. There is very few 'nice' women in Reliable and any time a girl arrives it is known by ALL the men in the area. They all want to come a calling and are getting frustrated that the Chance Brothers are all ending up with the available women. Great stories. ( )

The Chance brothers' world is turned upside down when fate dumps three damsels in distress in their laps. The women have found a safe place to call home, and the men have found the loves of their lives. California Chances is a beautifully written book about the lives of the Chance men and their loves. Heartbreakingly romantic and beautifully spiritual at the same time, California Chances is a must read for any lover of romance or religious fiction. ( )
