Rating: Summary: A Chance at Love Review: This is one of the most beautiful love stories that I have ever read. I was alittle hesitant about purchasing it because it is a historical romance but it turned out to be an excellent read. Loreli was awesome, the twins were breath-taking, and last but not least, their uncle (and eventually Loreli's honey) was "just a good man." Beverly Jenkins is a great writer and I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to read an excellent and well put together love story. I am looking forward to reading more of her books.
Rating: Summary: Beverly does not disappoint. Review: This JB story is centered on Loreli Winters. Her character was introduced in both Topaz and Always and Forever. Coming in on the wagon trail full of mail-order-brides, Loreli hadn't planned on staying in Kansas long at all. She in fact was headed to San Francisco {but never made it}. The story starts off with Two 8-year-old twin girls asking her if she would be their new mama, since quite a few of their friends has new mama's, they wanted one as well {This part in the book is just too cute for words}. The girls are called Dede and Bebe; their mother having passed away the year before, the girls now reside with their uncle Jake Reed. Jake having refused to look for a wife among the mail-orders brides; the twins took it upon themselves, to see if they could fine themselves a mama. Jake finds out that Loreli's occupation is a professional gambler. Knowing for sure that she is not the God fearing, law abiding women that he wants and the girls need. He rejects the idea of her being their mother and his wife instantly. The twins, however, have other ideas. The girls become attached to Loreli and no other woman is good enough to become their new mama, so Jake reluctantly propositions Loreli; he wants her to become the twins' mother and his wife for one year, until he can find a more suitable bride. Things progress from there and the two develop feelings for one another that can't be denied but there are forces at work bent on keeping them apart. One of those forces shows up in the form of an ex-lover of Loreli's. He proves to be the deciding factor for the break-up of the Jake and Loreli {but not for reasons you might guess...I'll let you read it for yourselves to find out what happens}. Not wanting to give too much away love prevails and the two come back together become a family. I though the story was a good read. The like it when an author allows the man to play hard to get in a love story sometimes. We always hear about how the man has to win the woman over but it was the other way around in this story. The ending I though was a bit rushed or it could have been that I just didn't want the story to end; either way you will enjoy this story.
Rating: Summary: Chance at Love Review: To read a book where the heroine was more experienced than the hero was a turn around. Loreli was a character I would like to read about again in a future Beverly Jenkins book because she was a strong woman in those times, but yet humble. You hate to see the ending and want to keep continuously reading about the characters. The twins were the most delightful and kept your interest as to what would be next. Ms Jenkins is one of my favorite authors and she never fails to disappoint.

Rating: Summary: The Chance is worth it Review: What a great book, with a twist on the man/woman stereotype of men being the experienced ones. Lorelei was classy and strong and I loved her character. Jake was great, kind, gorgeous and loving towards his neices/daughters. Well worth the read.
Rating: Summary: A book you can't put down Review: When I recieved my book. I couldn't wait to start reading it. I read the whole book in one night. Ms. Beverly Jenkins has done it again. Taking you back in time so you can escape from all of your problem and headache. I say bravo to this book.
