But his wounded heart is another matter…

Twice left at the altar, preacher Jase Armstrong avoids commitment at all costs—until he inherits his cousin’s three-day-old baby.

But can Jase open his heart enough to see the family forming around him?

MY REVIEW

There is nothing really special about An Orphan’s Hope. It’s the typical friends to love troupe, with neither of the lead characters wanting love, and yet love finding them. Yet there was something that kept me reading, making me not want to put down this charming novel, though I knew what was going to happen.

Both Jase and Erin are absolute sweethearts. They both have incredibly caring spirits and are called to ministries that can be incredibly tough. When Jase, a youth pastor, is thrust into fatherhood after a heartbreaking incident my heart broke for him. Not only did he grieve but he also had to learn all the in’s and out’s of infant care, something that is not easy in and of itself, but to have no experience whatsoever makes it all the more overwhelming. But seeing him adapt to fatherhood amid such heartbreaking conditions is admirable, and seeing his relationship grow with Erin during this tumultuous time made it that much sweeter.

One part I enjoyed reading was all the little details that Jase finds out about parenting an infant. Infant care isn’t easy, especially if you’ve never been around babies, so I enjoyed reading the struggle, my mind going back seventeen years when I was a new mother, and remembering those moments fondly.

Jase and Erin have commonalities in their lives, which is remarkable, but it is because of these similarities and past experiences that they struggle to make their own feelings known. The ending is very sweet, albeit predictable, but satisfying nonetheless. I really hope to see these characters in the future, as they now own a piece of my heart.

Yes, there is nothing about An Orphan’s Hope that makes it stand out, except that it’s a wonderfully charming read with a lot of heart, lovable characters, and a welcome escape.

My Rating: ★★★★★
