Great book!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I love stories about families! This one is about six brothers who together own and operate a ranch on the rugged California Frontier during the mid 1800's. Only one of the brothers is married and his wife dies young leaving him with two small daughters to raise. The other brothers try to help but without a woman to guide them, the girls don't stand a chance of ever being proper young ladies. Then along comes Miriam, the sister of the wife who passed away. Miriam steps in and helps the men with the ranch and the little girls, later, Alisa and Delilah also show up!! The gentleman appreciate the help but now feel even less secure with three lovely women on the ranch. They all try hard to help each other out and get along without falling in love but God has other ideas.... Three beautiful love stories woven into one wonderful book!! Also check out Kentucky Chances, the continuing story of the other three Chance brothers and California Brides, a look at the lives of the next generation... of Chance women!!

Couldn't put it down! The authors have a gift of being able to make you feel as if you are a part of the book. I'm off to order more books by these authors!

This is a compilation of three stories "One Chance in a Million", "Second Chance" and "Taking a Chance". The stories about the Chance brothers who live on a farm. There is 6 brothers, Gideon, Daniel, Paul, Titus, Logan and Bryce. The three stories incorporate all the brothers but each story center around one particular brother. The first is Gideon's story. Miriam sails across the ocean to see her sister Hannah who is married to Daniel Chance. When she arrives she finds that her sister has died and her two little nieces are being raised by these men. Daniel is unhappy with her being there because she looks so much like Hannah. Gideon wants to send her back. Miriam is determined to stay. Who wins? The second story is Titus's story. Alisa is running from the Law for a crime she didn't commit. She is on the stage bound for Reliable and meets up with Titus. They are drawn to each other right off. However, Titus had previously asked a girl in town to marry him but she turned him down. Now seeing him with another girl...she wants to change her mind. Things do get a little complicated and cute. The third story is about Paul. Miriam's cousin Delilah finds herself alone when her gambling father dies and she has nowhere to go. She decides to go see Miriam (who she has kept in touch with). Paul is the kind of strong man that Deliah needs but can she ever trust another man when her father has let her down all her life?

I thoroughly enjoyed these stories. There is very few "nice" women in Reliable and any time a girl arrives it is known by ALL the men in the area. They all want to come a calling and are getting frustrated that the Chance Brothers are all ending up with the available women. Great stories.

The Chance brothers of Reliable,California are about to have their ranch invaded by three apparent (damsels) in need of relief from their(distress).
Miriam arrives from overseas not expecting to find her sister dead and her two nieces living in neglect of feminine supervision.The brothers are determined to send Miriam back to where she came from,but she is just as determined to stay and mother her nieces-even if her choice ruins her chances for marriage.

This was such a good read!!! Enjoyed very much.
