My Review - EMILY'S CHANCE

EMILY’S CHANCE by Sharon Gillenwater is the second installment in the Callahans of Texas series. While JENNA’S COWBOY centered on Jenna Callahan, EMILY’S CHANCE brings Chance Callahan – one of Jenna’s brother to the forefront.

As the small town of Callahan Crossing recovers from a devastating fire, Chance Callahan sets his sights and his heart on Emily Rose, the newly acquired historian hired to get the Callahan Crossing Museum up and running. After two brief encounters, Chance is convinced Emily is his future wife. Now all he has to do is prove to her that he is her man.

There is only reason Emily Rose has come to Callahan Crossing. It serves as a stepping stone to add to her list of credentials. With her goal set on becoming a curator of a prestigious museum, Callahan Crossing is merely a blip on her roadmap to success. When she meets Chance Callahan, she convinces herself he is nothing more than a friend, someone to spend time with while in Callahan Crossing. But soon, her feelings for him change and reek havoc on her heart. Knowing that being placed at a prominent museum is the only way she will gain her parents approval, she pushes her feelings for Chance aside and concentrates on her future. But, what kind of future will she have if she leaves the man of her dreams behind?

EMILY’S CHANCE was just as enjoyable as JENNA’S COWBOY. The entire Callahan family serves as a rich backdrop in both books. Just like JENNA’S COWBOY, the plot doesn’t stretch your imagination, but the warm writing of Sharon Gillenwater keeps you coming back for more. Knowing the Callahan’s have one more son – Will Callahan, I will be keeping my eyes and ears peeled for the next installment
