A Love of Their Own

I read this book three times and everytime I read it, I love it more. Amara Fairchild was a true Hero in this book, she was so courageous and strong willed because she made a promise to her dying friend and mentor Brenda Hayward to marry her Husband Ross and become a mother to her triplet daughters when she passes on. Of course she's reluctant to do this, so is Ross... they experience many trials and tribulations, they agree to disagree about what's best for the girls.. eventually Ross and Amara they come together, they fall in love, they have to somehow find a way to cope with the loss of wife and friend, the girls have to learn how to cope with the loss of their mother. I cry EVERYTIME I read this book, the writing is superb and this is a book I'm greedy with because I won't lend it out.

Amara Fairchild is shocked when her dying mentor and best friend Brenda Hayward asks her to marry her husband, and to help raise her children immediately after her death. Of course, neither Ross, Brenda's husband, nor Amara immediately agree to this. However, when they see that Brenda is holding on to that one last breath waiting for their positive response, they reluctantly agree. From there, the story unfolds into a tale of love lost and love found on the oftentimes bumpy road to happily ever after. It has been a while since I read a novel by Ms. Louise, and once I read A LOVE OF THEIR OWN, I couldn't fathom why I waited so long to read this one. It was a beautiful tale of heartache, loss and finding love again. There are so many positive aspects to this story that combine to make this book one worth reading many times over. Louise masterfully depicts the woes of breast cancer, the importance of monthly breast exams, and how the death of a loved one from this dreaded disease affects everyone, especially small children. It was refreshing to see the hero of the story show real emotion. Ross cherished his wife and did not want to sully the memories of her with thoughts or feelings for another woman. Even though the story deals with such serious issues, there are also moments where you laugh out loud, and, of course, fall in love again. Never again will I hold onto a Kim Louise book. As soon as it reaches my hot little hands, I will find the quietest spot in my house and lose myself in her work. (RAW Rating: 4.5) Reviewed by Renee Williams of The RAWSISTAZ™ Reviewers

This book tackled a real situation that we sometimes find ourselves in. I loved that Ross was able to let go and see Amara the way he wife wanted him to.. She chose her because she did not want him to be alone and because the girls already liked her.I also enjoyed the interaction between Amara and the girls. I must say that I read this book more than one time. And cried everytime when the little girl got lost in the mall.

I loved this romance because it tackled so many issues, but still maintained the romance. The triplets were adorable, and the love sessions were steamy. This was a great book to read. I am now ready the story of Morgan Allgood.

I have read all of Kim Louise's books on the Allgood family and find that I have loved almost all of them. This book falls in lines with the ones I loved. I just love the way she put the story together and how they married and found love. I was so touched with the triplets and the families way of grieving and getting the help they needed. And talk about steaming love scenes. Everything Ross did and taught Amara was worth reading over and over again!!! Good job Kim Louise.
