California Chances: Three Brothers Play the Role of Protector as Romance Develops

This is a great book and starts you on a wonderous journey with a large family that faces many ups and downs of the times!

This novella is AWSOME!!! This book introduced me to the world of Christian Romance. As soon as I finished this book I said "I HAVE to get Kentucky Chances!" The second book was as good as the first. Raine~

Was a continuance of the Chance family from Kentucky, & was a really relaxing read. I thoroughly enjoy the closeness,love,Christian values of this family. Would love more of the saga of this family. Hope they write more than the three books on them.

I believe the above reviewer was referring to "California Chances", not "California Brides". "California Brides" is about the next generation of Chances. "Kentucky Chances" and "California Chances" are about the six Chance brothers. This book is about their daughters. I love these books because I have always loved reading about big families. There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments in all of these books. I love the colorful way in which they talk. I guess "charming" would be the right word, but whatever you want to call it, these books are great to read when you're ready to escape from reality for a few hours.

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. As a seperate note: There is another book by Heartsong Presents called "Last Chance" and this is Daniel's story. There is also another book coming out called Chance Adventure which is Logan's story. And I believe Bryce's story is called "Chance of a Lifetime". Very enjoyable. Highly recommended.
