Summary: Timeless Tales review
Review: By TT reviewer Lynne Temple

Cord Delafield's life is not going well these days. He just proposed to his girlfriend, and his proposal fell flat. He is in desperate need of a wife. He has one week to find a bride or he forfeits his right to his deceased Grandmother's house.

Refusing to give up, and let his estranged father win the house, his dream bride, Deborah, "falls" into his life.

Mistaking Cord for his father, Deborah storms into his life demanding a retraction on "his" eviction notice. As a foster mother, Deborah is desperate to contact the owner of her home to persuade him to let her keep her home and her foster children.

Cord finds himself attracted to the tiny whirlwind who is so emphatic to save her kids.

Devising a plan so they can both win, Cord keeping his grandmother's home and Deborah a roof over her head, which would mean keeping her kids, Cord suggests marriage.

It will take a lot to convince Deborah, who is determined to never marry again. With Cord and Deborah, their foster children, and a fond of disaster bunny, their search for happiness is marred by crisis at every turn. How do you achieve your goal when each triumph is marred by a test of love, patience and trust?

What a wonderful book! This is a must read. A true delight. The words flowed, and I found that I could not put the book down. The characters come to life, they are so well written, with the perfect touch of how life is not always fair, but with love, patience and trust, the worst things in life can be overcome. Cord and Deborah are characters that seem to leap off the page, but it is the foster children that really moved me, and tug at your heartstrings. How can you love a child that has so much anger and frustration built up? Room for Love is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it. This is a GREAT Holiday read, just in time to remind us what is important in life.

Deborah Olstrom is a foster parent to 4 children and is known as the best foster mom in Forest Heights. She needs an affordable house immediately within an approved neighborhood, to keep her family together. She makes a mistake in confronting the wrong man, Cord Delafied, who she thinks is the landlord of her rental house, but it was Cord's father, Marshall, who sent her the eviction.

It is out of the question for Cord to help Deborah as he has a strained relationship with his father. Father and son have been fighting over a house which has been left by Cord's grandmother since she died. According to her will, Cord must get married to inherit the house.

Cord thinks that a marriage of convenience would be the perfect solution to his problem as well as Deborah's, if only she agrees to marry him. How so? So that Cord can get the house and Deborah can have a house to live in. Cord suggests his outrageous proposal to Deborah, but she thinks he is out of his mind.

Then, Deborah's rebellious foster son gets into trouble and no one but Cord comes to his resuce. She agrees to Cord's proposal, and Cord promises her not to take advantage during their temporary marriage. However, Cord finds it hard to keep his promise as Deborah seems to be the only woman who can give his chest a warm pulse and bring laughter to his life.

ROOM FOR LOVE is not just a modern tale of a marriage of convenience. It also points out several problems concerning foster families, disease as well as child abusement. Readers would take up with Deborah's character right from the beginning and hope that she will stay married to Cord till the end. Although the romance between Deborah and Cord seems to be a fairy tale but that's what romance is about! Anything could happen with the magic pen of the writer.
