Chance Callahan knew from the minute he saw Emily Rose Denny, that she was the one for him.  Even if it was in the middle of a wild fire that nearly destroyed his entire hometown.  He knew she was the girl he would fall in love with and marry.  Now he has to convince her of the same thing, that he is the one for her.
Emily Rose Denny has a five year plan.  She has always had to succeed at everything she does.  And her career is at the top of the list of areas of her life she must succeed in.  She has to become a curator at a top museum, it is the only way she is convince that her parents will ever think she is a success. 
Falling in love is not part of the five year plan, but maybe God has a different plan.  Emily is working hard with the local Historical group to get the museum, that was ruined during the fire, back up and running.  Working thru what they were able to salvage and the new donations, keeps her busy.  But not so busy that she doesn't notice that Chance is pursuing her.
Will Emily give love a chance?  Will she allow her five year plan to be disrupted?
This book was a wonderful continuation of the story of the Callahan family, in the first book we meet Jenna, Chance's sister, now we are meeting Chance and hearing his story.  Faith is a very important matter to Chance and it is very evident in this book.  I truly enjoyed this story, it is a story that reinforces that real mean do love Jesus!  Great job from Sharon Gillenwater!  US $14.99  338 pages 4 stars.
