More from Jill
Back in 2019, when my editor sent me a cover mock-up for my third Love Inspired book A Mother for His Twins, I was thrilled to see the art department had used a picture of my hero’s twin boys, Jordan and Tyler Capello.
I had so much fun developing the characters of these two little rascals. Although they were twins, I wanted to make sure they each had their own unique personality.
Once I had Tyler’s character sketch completed, I went to work developing Jordan. Unlike his brother who is the outgoing one of the two, I wanted Jordan to be more quiet and shy than his twin. That’s when I decided to draw on my own experience as a child.
Like Jordan, I had a speech impediment when I was a child. I was unable to pronounce the letter R. Because of this, I was teased by my classmates. To make matters worse, once a week, my speech teacher would come and pull me from my classroom for my private session. I can still hear the giggles and murmuring that filled the room. Thankfully, with a lot of instruction and practice, I was able to overcome the impediment.
Life is full of obstacles. Looking back at what we’ve overcome gives us the confidence to keep pressing forward when we know God will never leave us.
My Thoughts
There are two elements that I have found always make for an entertaining story. One is a good second chance romance. The other is the inclusion of adorable children. Both in one story? Even better! And that is exactly what we get in A Mother For His Twins.
When I pick up a Love Inspired book, I know that I will be getting a love story that is short and sweet... great for a quick read. While A Mother For His Twins certainly is that, it also goes a lot deeper than that. When Nick returns to the town he grew up in after the loss of his wife, he finds himself not only working and living right across from his first love Joy... but also competing against her for both of their dream jobs. While it might seem like God's way of giving them a second chance at love that was cut off rather abruptly fourteen years earlier, both characters have been through their own traumas and it seems their time together could just open up old wounds. I enjoyed their story--- one not just of romance, but on forgiveness and healing as well. The addition of the twins and Joy's niece add a sweetness that kept it more lighthearted despite some of the difficult themes the story deals with.
Overall, I found it to be a really sweet read and one that fans of inspirational romance are sure to enjoy.
