More About This Book

Overview

Hope

Hope Butler is about to watch the man of her dreams, Jake Whitelaw, marry another woman—unless she finds the courage to stand up and fight for him.

Faith

Faith has always been more concerned with the happinessof others than with her own, and if she isn't careful, she's going to let a good man slip through her fingers.

Charity

Adopted at a young age, Charity Burnette never really had a home, and she's not one for putting down roots—even if it means shutting out the man who'd love to call her his wife.

When the three sisters come together unexpectedly at Hawk's Pride Ranch, the sparks fly. But each woman is about to learn something about herself…about family…and about the love of a good man.

Chapter One

Hope Butler was desperate. The man she loved was engaged to another woman, and he planned to marry her in two weeks. Hope had to do something. Jake Whitelaw didn't belong with that other woman. He should be spending the rest of his life with her.

Jake had fought his attraction to Hope from the very beginning. She could hardly blame him. She'd been only eighteen when she'd first realized she loved him. He'd been thirty-six. Perhaps her infatuation would have died a quick death if Jake hadn't returned her interest. But he had.

She hadn't known for sure until that fateful day more than three years ago, when she'd placed temptation in his path. She recalled their confrontation in her daddy's barn as though it had happened yesterday.

She'd been waiting a long time for the chance to get Jake alone, and it had come when he made a delivery of hay.

His shirt was dirty, the sleeves rolled up to reveal strong, sinewy forearms. His Stetson was sweaty around the brim, and shaggy black hair was crushed at his nape. His cheeks were hollow, and he had a sharp nose and wide-set, ice-blue eyes. He was half a foot taller than she was, lean at the hip, but with broad, powerful shoulders. He made her body come alive just looking at him.

"How are you, Jake?" she said, walking with her shoulders back so her breasts jutted and her hips swayed.

He eyed her sideways. "Just dandy," he muttered.

"Daddy wants that hay in the barn," she said, hop-skipping to keep up with his long strides.

"Why didn't you just say so? You don't need to come with me, little girl. I know where it goes."

Little girl. Hope ground her teeth. She'd show him she was no little girl! "There's some stuff needs to be moved first," she hedged. "Machinery that's too heavy for me to pick up by myself."

"Why didn't your daddy move it?"

"I told him I could do it. That is, before I realized how heavy it was," she fibbed.

Jake didn't look suspicious, but it wasn't going to take long once they got inside the barn for him to realize she'd lied. The space where the hay was supposed to be stacked had been cleared out that morning. She opened the door and went inside first, then waited for him to enter before she closed the door behind him.

The barn smelled strongly of leather and manure. Sunlight streamed through the cracks between the planks of the wooden barn, leaving golden lines on the empty, straw-littered dirt floor.

He turned to confront her. "What the hell is going on, little girl?"

She was backed up against the door to keep Jake from leaving. She put her hand over the light switch when he reached for it, afraid of what she'd see in his eyes in the stark light of the naked overhead bulb. He didn't force the issue, merely stepped back and stood facing her, his legs widespread, his hands on his hips.

"What happens now?" he said. "You want sex? Take off your jeans and panties and lie down over there on that pile of straw on the floor."

Hope's eyes went wide when he started to unbuckle his belt. "Stop! Wait." She was shocked by his brutally frank speech, by the rough sound of his voice, by his plain intention of taking what she seemed to be offering without any pretense of romance. This wasn't how she'd imagined things happening between them.

He had his shirt unbuttoned and was ripping it out of his jeans when he paused and looked her right in the eye. "You chickening out, little girl?"

Maybe if he hadn't made it a dare, she would have run, which is what she realized he expected her to do. She stared right back at him and began untying the knot at her midriff.

"I'm not going anywhere." She watched his eyes go wide, then narrow. A muscle jerked in his cheek. He no longer seemed interested in taking his clothes off. He was too busy watching her. Waiting, she suspected, to see how far she would go.

Her mouth was bone dry, but she wanted him to know why she was doing this. "I ... I love you, Jake."

He snorted. "Get to it or get out."

Her cheeks pinkened in mortification, but she refused to run. It wasn't easy undressing in front of him. She kept her eyes lowered while she fumbled with the knot. He stood watching, waiting like a lone wolf stalking an abandoned calf, certain of the kill.

When the knot came free, her shirt fell open. She let it slide off her shoulders and onto the floor, revealing the pure white demi-cup pushup bra she'd bought with her baby-sitting money, which revealed just about everything but her nipples.

When she lifted her gaze to his face, she was frightened by what she saw. His eyes had a dangerous, feral look, his jaw was clenched tight, and his hands had balled into fists. He looked intense, unapproachable, but she forced herself to walk up to him, to slide her hands around his neck, to lift up on tiptoe to press her lips against his.

A second later she was shoved up hard against the barn door with Jake's hips grinding against her own. His tongue was in her mouth taking what he wanted, and she was so full of sharp, exciting sensations that she couldn't breathe.

Just as suddenly he backed off, leaving her with Jell-O knees that wanted to buckle, a heart that was threatening to explode and her insides tied up tight, hurting and wanting. "Jake," she said. It was a cry of emotional pain. A plea for surcease from her unrequited need.

"I'm twice your age," he said flatly. "You're too damn young for me, Hope."

"You want me," she said boldly. It would have been hard to deny. His jeans bulged with abundant evidence of his desire.

"I'm a grown man. Old enough to know better," he said with a disgusted sigh. He unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans, but only so he could tuck his shirt back in. He buttoned his shirt, buckled his belt and adjusted his clothes, then leaned down and picked up her shirt. "Put this on," he said.

    Trashy read

    I thought this looked good when I bought it and had no idea it was as trashy as it is. The story itself is okay. If you start to get bored just take a drink every time the author uses the term 'gutteral sound'.

    Recommend the stories of Hope, Faith and Rabb.

    I would have preferred to have done without the whole Charity/Kane-adoption story. It just didn't seem to belong with the great chemistry of Hope and Jake or the tender, sweet love story of Faith and Randy. I even enjoyed to passion of Rabb and Amanda. I loved the passion and fire between Hope and Jake and was so glad to finally get their story. Randy and Faith's story was every bit as sweet and tender as I hoped for. Amanda and Rabb proved to be a passionate surprise in the mix. Charity's whole story was ridiculous and I couldn't stop myself from just skimming over her story.

    Predictable

    1. The most predictable book I've ever read. 2. The reason (financial) given was not commesurate with the cost of the deformity. 3. Living in a small town there's no way the 'twins' would not have heard the real story about their family as they grew up. 4. The book referred to Hope as having been away going to high school when, in fact, she was away at college. It would seem to me a proof reader was needed. I will read another book by JJ to giver her a chance for my further reading based on the reviews.

    Great Story.

    This book was great. I couldn't put it down. I had to keep reading. My biological sister was given up for adoption 30 years before I born due to my parents being unwed and my father just returning from Nam. She found her biological parents and to her surprise a biological sister. We've had contact for 6 years now. I wouldn't change a thing. This book touched a soft spot.

    Glamor and adoption

    For all the romantic glamor, this work of fiction also deals with real adoption issues. Fun reading on the beach where life is taken easy and miracles come and go with the tide. The triplets Charity, Hope and Faith unexpectedly meet face-to-face at someone's engagement party. There are thousands of adoptees out there who wished they too would run into their biological family at someone's party or in the grocery store, anywhere. I am the adoptive mother of a now 34-year old daughter and had to smile, on reading this book, how nice fiction can be. Our daughter is now reunited with her two sisters, but the event took 29 years to become reality. Now I imagine Hope wanting eight children with Jake, both adopted and natural, and Jake agrees, that 'eight sounds just fine.' For Hope's sake, I hope that number will remain fiction!

    Excellent Book

    I absolutely loved this book. I am not a romance reader. The only other author I've been willing to adopt is Nicholas Sparks. I thought this book was going to be more of a drama novel, but the romance, desire, devotion, and love was definitely seen in every chapter. I even found myself embarrassed while reading it. It's not a tear jerker, it seemed to be a typical love triangle plot, but it portrayed such noble characters. I also agree, it was very well written to bring closure to all the different angles - no dangling plots. As for the third sister thing - I was surprised it came so late in the book. I would have like to of read more about the bonding of the three. It just seemed to hurry along at the end. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author. Definitely a must read!

    Can't Believe It

    This was an OK book until I got to the part where the sisters confront their parents, and then I threw it in the garbage. What an idiotic excuse they gave! There are any number of things they could have done. Perhaps none were pleasant, but all would be preferable to giving away a child. Give me a break!

    I loved it!

    Family reunions and weddings should bring joy, not chaos, but the latter is what the Butler sisters find in this book. Though Faith is happy in her romance, she knows her sister, Hope is miserable as she watches Jake Whitelaw, who she has loved for ages, prepare to marry her former teacher, Amanda. Faith also knows that neither Jake nor Amanda will be happy in this marriage; Amanda is in love with Jake's brother Rabb, and Jake does love Hope, but feels he is too old for her. Yet, both are so darned honorable, they would rather go through with something that they don't want rather than cause the other the shame of being jilted. So, Faith is determined to make sure the right couples match up before four lives are ruined and hearts broken. Then, the Butler family gets a little surprise. The third daughter they gave up for adoption over twenty years ago finds her way home on the arm of Jake's cousin. Charity is naturally resentful to discover that she was given away, and the shock is a definite one for her family. It will take a lot of tears and rage for this family to unite, and there are still three weddings to make come together! ***** Told so well that all of the subplots merge smoothly and none are left dangling or short changed, this realistic novel is heart warming and heart rending at the same time. Each sister, and Amanda makes for a believeable heroine, and all of the heroes are truly Texan, strong, sexy, and honorable to an almost painful degree. Fans will not be at all disappointed. ***** REVIEWER: AMANDA KILLGORE.

    Fantastic and Exhilarating!

    This book was amazing. I couldn't put it down. I understand how Charity felt when she found her biological parents because I am also adopted. It can be really hard and I understand the reasons my biological mom gave me up. It was all for me. She wanted me, but knew she wouldn't be able to give me the life I needed to make it in this world.
