I have really liked every one of Kimberly Rae Jordan's books. This one is no exception. This one is a novella to set up a new series. However, it feels complete on its own. A widowed mother with 4 children and a divorced father with 4 children really don't seem to be the characters that most authors would set as the centerpiece to their story, but this book does it and in a believable and sweet way. It doesn't minimize the hurts and challenges, but shows hope in making it past the hurts.
I'm glad I read this story because it shows how a blended family can thrive and grow when God is at the center . Certainly they had challenges with 10 children but they managed to love each child individually . It was a very sweet, well written story telling at the end what the title of the story about flowers meant.
A Handful of Flowers by Kimberly Ray Jordan is a Contemporary Romance Novella about new beginnings.Emily, a widowed military wife has four children to take care of. She meets Steve at the bequest of her youngest son. Her intentions are to invite Steve's child to come over sometime, but when she arrives, her heart makes decisions her mouth did not give permission to, and she offers to take on all four of Steve's children after school if he would come and fix some of the little repairs her house needed.Steve does not want a wife. His ex threw him and his four boys away without a thought, and he has no intentions of reliving that horror or putting his kids through it, so when Emily brings over baked goods and offers to take care of his kids for house repairs, he gets on the defensive and makes it perfectly clear he's not in the market for a wife.This is a very light read. I'm not sure how believable the plot is. As a teacher, I find it hard to believe that eight kids under the age of twelve did not have more chaos and craziness. These were the most well-behaved children I have ever seen. I also did not get a good feel for the chemistry between Emily and Steve. But that's just my personal opinion. It was a sweet story. If you're in the mood for a quick, light read, pick this book up!Three Stars!
I love this author she never fails to capture my heart or my attention with her series and this new one is spot on. The books are well written and the characters are real and human. Kimberly writes christian novels with wonderful stories of imperfect people dealing with what live has handed them. In this new series two people who have both experienced loss one from the death of a spouse and the other from desertion of a spouse blend their two families by marrying and thus begins a whole new series of people to fall in love with. I love her books they are clean, well written, religious with out being preachy, and a good read on any given day. I am looking forward to the unfolding drama of these two families as the children grow and find love.
Steve and Emily meet when Emily's son Ryan wants Steve's son Mitch to come play at his house. Steve and his four boys have just moved into town. Emily welcomes the family with baked goods and offers to watch the boys after school and feed them dinner if Steve will take care of some home repairs for her. As the families spend time together, a lot of time, they become close and even though Steve was not looking for a wife, he found one.A great story. Very romantic. Was fun to watch the kids get together and become best friends and such. Another wonderful story by Kimberly Rae Jordan.
A Handful of Flowers, written by Kimberly Rae Jordan, is the first book I've read by this author and was pleasantly surprised what a nice read it was!My favorite character was Emily. What a lovely lady! She has four children, is widowed and works part-time AND offers to watch a single dad's four boys after school plus feed them dinner! What an angel! The struggles of just dealing with her life, yet she has a huge heart and cares for the motherless! I liked how the story developed...a modern His, Her's and Their's kind of story.I was gifted this book in exchange for my honest review.
I read one of Jordan's books in a compilation I bought (Whispers of Love) and really enjoyed it, so was glad to get this prequel! She has good character development and believable plots. I look forward to reading more of her books!
My daughters and I call stories like this light hearted and fun to read! In the world we live in nowadays, with all the on the go all the time, we all need a few light hearted stories to read once in awhile.I do wish that Makayla, Emily's oldest child would have had a bit more of a voice in the book. It was almost like she was introduced and then forgotten. But all in all, it was a cute and fun read!
