His Unexpected Grandchild by Myra Johnson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What an amazing later in life love story, but first came a lot of walls to break down and healing. Learning to heal from grief from loved ones and putting their trust in God can they live a happily ever after.

Thank you to NetGalley for my advanced copy of the book for my honey review.

Lane Bromley was living a secluded existence in his beautiful self-sufficient home when his world turned upside down. His daughter Shannon brings her baby boy to him, and he is left with a little one to care for.
Veterinarian Julia Frasier is in absolute shock when a stranger comes to her with information that her deceased son had a child. She is a grandmother. This man is the grandfather.
What a struggle is ahead for both of these people.
I want to thank Harlequin Love Inspired and NetGalley for an advanced reader's copy of this book. I enjoyed reading of a relationship that starts with a great deal of animosity and a power struggle. This is a romance of an older couple which presents different challenges than young love. I appreciate that it is a clean read, deals with the very serious issue of mental illness and grief. It is easy for adults to have the false illusion that they are in control. Along the way this story points out that they each need God.
This is my own personal opinion; I liked the story very much and give it a 4.5.

I have to say, I really enjoyed reading HIs Unexpected Grandchild. I liked that the main characters were middle-aged. Nice change from the younger aged characters in most books.
I also enjoyed the Christian romance aspect.
Definitely a sweet, sweet story!
Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Lane Bromley was doing just fine living off the grid in his mountain cabin. His distressed daughter Shannon shows up and she is in a bad way, and leaves her toddler son with him. Lane is instantly attached to baby Tate. He hadn't seen his daughter in quite awhile and is caught by surprise. But he wants her to get the mental health treatment that she needs, and Lane knows that he has to do the best that he can do for Tate. This begins with finding Tate's other family, and that leads him to Julia Frazier, Tate's grandmother. Julie is the town's veterinarian and had no idea that the son she lost, Steven, is the father of the infant.

Lane and Julia find themselves at odds almost from the moment that they meet. For one thing, Lane is very worried about Shannon, and Julia is still saddened by the loss of her son, and is shocked to learn that he had married and had a child. But, putting those worries aside, Julia is not too enamored by the reclusive lifestyle that Lane leads and she wants to be the one who cares for Tate.

Tate and his care comes first to both Lane and Julia, even if they are at odds. However, there is the undeniable fact that sparks are there for the both of them. As this is an inspirational romance, the story was very sweet, with reminders of putting the important matters into the hand of a higher power, something that both Lane and Julia had in common. As delightful as this story was with Lane and Julia as protagonists, baby Tate was utterly adorable. But there was also the loyal and loving rescue dog Rowena. His Unexpected Grandchild was a warm and wonderful story and is definitely deserving of five stars.

Many thanks to Love Inspired and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

An enjoyable and heartwarming fresh twist on the secret baby trope!

When Lane's daughter shows up with the grandson he never knew he had, his is turned upside down as little Tate steals his heart and brings Veterinarian Julia Frasier into his life.

Heartwarming and well written, I loved how this book takes a trope and turns it on its head with more mature romantic leads, and a multigenerational plot. Great relationship building dialogue, strong faith, and a all around great plot.

Such a sweet read, I loved how Tate opened up Lane's life to so many new things, and helped him reconnect with his daughter. Tate is so sweet and his friendship with Rowena is precious!

Overall, a stand out read with excellent characters and handling of the relationships, with great interaction, strong faith, and themes of family. Highly recommend!

An Uplifting Inspirational Romance
This toddler will steal his heart
Just in time to open it…
The last thing Lane Bromley wants is to leave his remote mountain cabin. But when his struggling daughter shows up with a grandson he didn’t know he had, Lane’s search for the boy’s father leads him to the other surprise grandparent: veterinarian Julia Frasier. They can’t seem to agree on anything, but maybe they can find common ground long enough to create a loving environment for their grandchild…and each other.
This is Julia Frasier, Steven, mom and dad's story.
This is Lane Bromley, Shannon and Tate's story.
Always in the back of her mind was her parents’ impending retirement. They were both in their early seventies now, and over the past few months, Julia had noticed her father’s gradually worsening hand tremors. He’d attempted to hide them from both Julia and her mother, but Julia had grown concerned enough that she’d begun monitoring her father’s appointment schedule and tactfully stepping in for the more delicate procedures.
Parked outside the Frasier Veterinary Clinic on the outskirts of Missoula, Montana, he stared through the streaked windshield of his maroon 4x4 truck. He probably should have phoned first to make sure Julia Frasier, DVM, was on duty today. But then he might need to explain why he’d specifically asked for her, and since he hadn’t had a pet since he was a kid... Well, that would get a little complicated.
I recommend this book.
His Unexpected Grandchild by Myra Johnson is a wonderful well written 5 star book.
I am looking forward to reading more books by Myra Johnson.

5 stars

Myra Johnson knocks it out of the park with this later-in-life opposites-attract romance.

Dealing with his adult daughter’s mental illness and adjusting to the life of caregiver for his toddler grandson throws Lane for a loop. He weeds through his daughter’s secretive past to find his grandson’s other grandparent, Julia. Both Lane and Julia work through their differences for the best interest of their grandson.

I loved the way the author slowly built a sweet romance between these two fifty-year-olds while they bonded over caring for their grandson. The author brought so much healing to each person in the story. And the opening—just WOW! I could not put the book down.

Fans of Christian romance, inspirational romance, and clean romance will enjoy this heart-warming story full of love and redemption and a few twists and turns.

Genre: Christian Romance
Romance: Squeaky clean. Kissing mentioned in passing.
Faith: Both characters start out far from God but through the prayers and support of friends and family through hard times, both return to God and learn to trust Him again.

I enjoyed this sweet little love story. It is your typical Love Inspired book, with a little extra added family drama. Not a young couple in this one, but middle-aged. It was sweet.
Thanks netgalley & Harlequin for a copy. All reviews are my own.

This was such a great inspirational romance. I adored the fact that the characters were more mature (older) than typical romance. Very sweet!

His unexpected Grandchild is a very well written inspirational romance. I throughly enjoyed this book. I received an advance ebook from the publisher and Netgalley. This is my unbiased review.

Fairly predictable romance but it was still a good read that I enjoyed it. It was also a quick read. And like the majority of Love inspired books the faith is awesome as always. I also enjoyed seeing an older hero and heroine.

As a grandparent myself, I loved that this story involved grandparents as the main characters. It has everything you expect and want in a Harlequin Love Inspired novel - plus there is an adorable little boy and dogs involved in the plot, so what's not to love? A short novel you can read in a day's time if you have the time to spare, and I would recommend it to everyone.

Summary:
This toddler will steal his heart

Just in time to open it…

But when his struggling daughter shows up with a grandson he didn’t know he had, Lane’s search for the boy’s father leads him to the other surprise grandparent: veterinarian Julia Frasier.

Review 3-star
I so wanted to give this story a higher rating, but there was a major error at the beginning of the story. At Location 535 23% 2 paragraph 2nd sentence, He and Tate had just finished lunch and then at Location 583 25% 2 Paragraph No sooner had she cleaned up Tate after Lunch… So, I guess Tate had 2 lunches in just a few minutes. This mistake is hard to let go. For the rest of the story, I didn’t find any errors. The story flows and the overall feel is great. Besides that, one big error, the editing of the story is spot on. This so could have been a 5-star book as the story is a page-turner and I read it all in one sitting.

Conclusion:
Will I recommend this book to others YES
Will I read more books written by this Author Yes

A sweet Christian romance. Past heart-breaking losses and some surprises unite a couple who have recently discovered they share a grandchild. The child is adorable and there is a dog or three to add to the fun. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

Lane and Julia’s story had many unexpected twists and turns. I really liked how they had to learn to trust in God to help them see the way to move forward in life. The story also incorporates the love people have for their pets and the pets have for them wonderfully. It was great the way the author incorporated the dogs in the story and especially how important Rowena was to Tate, Lane and Julia’s grandson. I highly recommend this book.

This was a touching story that was easy to read in a single evening. Clean Christian romance about a middle aged couple - very refreshing to read.
