My Review:

I used to read the Love Inspired Stories all the time, but then I had a harder time getting a hold of them and my library didn't carry very many of them, so I stopped reading them. When the opportunity to read this book crossed my path, I jumped at it. I am so glad that I did. The cover is beautifully done, and is a great reflection of the story. Ivy is on her way across the country to move in with her parents, when an unfortunate accident lands her on the side of the road. Finn is on his way home when God nudges him to investigate tracks that look like someone ran off the road. Finn notices the woman behind the wheel, and hears lots of crying. When he opens the door he discovers three little girls crying in the backseat, triplets. From that moment on Finn and Ivy's lives are changed.

The characters are very well-developed and the story line is awesome. The story moves quickly and is filled with humor and heart melting scenes. I do not usually use "heart melting" but there is one scene, and when you get there you will know it, that literally I felt like my heart was melting. It was incredibly well-written and I could see it. 

While this is the sixth book in the series, it can be read as a stand alone. I did not read the first five books in the series, and while I would always recommend that for a series, I do not feel that I missed anything by starting with this book. 

I would recommend this sweet, quick read to anyone who loves clean fiction, with tender scenes, and light romance. This is the first book that I have read by this author, but it will not be the last.
