MY REVIEW:
Chance Callahan fell in love with Emily Rose Denny the first time he laid eyes on her. Once he got to know her, his feelings for her grew stronger. However, Emily had other things in mind for her future. Callahan, Texas was just a stepping stone in her career plan of gaining an important position in a large city museum. As far as she could determine, that was the only way to prove to her parents that she could be a success. Poor Chance didn’t have a prayer – or did he? Will Emily ever learn to just be herself or will she forever strive to live up to her parents’ impossible expectations?
Emily’s Chance is a fun to read contemporary romance set in small town Texas. Characters are down-to-earth and their daily lives reflect their strong Christian values. A couple of sub-plots add another layer of interest to the story. I enjoyed catching up with characters from Jenna’s Cowboy as well as meeting new ones. Emily’s Chance is the second in The Callahans of Texas series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone novel. For those like me who love books with a western setting, Emily’s Chance is a must read.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
Finding Unexpected Love in a Small Texas Town
Emily Rose may be in the tiny West Texas town of Callahan Crossing for the moment, but it’s just a rung on her ladder to success. Her work at the Callahan Crossing historical society will look good on her ever-growing resume as she attempts to break into the prestigious world of a big city museum curator.
Little does she know cowboy and contractor Chance Callahan has decided that he can convince her to stay—both with the town and with him. As he helps Emily restore the town’s history after a devastating fire, he also helps her uncover her own hidden worth and the value of love.
The second book in The Callahans of Texas series, Emily’s Chance is a heartwarming story of letting love take the lead.
