One Saturday Evening, written by T.K. Chapin, is book 3 in the Diamond Lake Christian Romance Series.Charlotte grew up in Newport, WA and has returned with her three daughters to be near her family after a divorce. She was deeply hurt in the divorce and wants to start a new life in Newport. She’s working at Dixie’s Diner, trying to keep up with her daughters and has no time for that new life she so wanted…Then Dylan moves in next door! Dylan…what can I say…he’s too cute and so sweet AND has a relationship with the Lord…what more could a girl want?!My favorite character: Dylan…he’s a really nice guy…He’s just moved to Newport and finally is in a position to possibly care for a woman, but Charlotte seems to need to go through some growing pains. The verses from Ephesians 4: 31 & 32 come to life in this book. “ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.”I love how Chapin has taken romance and bumped it up a level in this book! Great story, lots of great love, And a godly lesson to learn all packed into this page turner! Great beginning, awesome middle and in true fashion for a T.K. Chapin book…he knocks it out of the park at the end of this Christian Romance! Great job, Mr. Chapin!Chapin has also brought us more of the Diamond Lake characters into One Saturday Evening that we’ve come to love from book 1, One Thursday Morning, and book 2, One Friday Afternoon. Enjoyed seeing the various characters and how they interact. Looking forward to book 4 in the Diamond Lake Series! Recommend every book in this series!
I really liked this series. I loved this book. It really spoke to me with some of the issues I am dealing with. Amazing how God uses people for His good. I love this author and I thank him for giving to the Lord.
CHARLOTTE uS three daughters she has been left to raise by herself since her husband left them and now she is divorced. Dylan moves next door to them and he is a very handsome man and a widower but after a few times talking to him she finds put he is an Atkin. The more she sees this man the harder she falls for him and to top it off he is very good with her girls and her mother, not mention how good he is for and to her. You will really enjoy the back and forth off and on between these two people.
First, I want to thank T.K. Chapin for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.One Saturday Evening is the third book in the Diamond Lake Series. I highly suggest you read the first two books before this one. Some familiar characters such as Serenah and Charlie make an appearance in this book once again.T.K. wrote this book centered around a woman facing pain and trials due to a divorce. However, while he does write about this topic he does not endorse this topic. In this book he shares some biblical resources available for those in need.Speaking of Serenah and Charlie I was so happy to hear their wedding date was closely approaching!! Serenah had asked Charlotte to be in her wedding! I am hoping that we will get to read about the joyous event in the next book.From the prologue my heart broke for Charlotte whom after 16 years of marriage her husband Bradley left her and her three kids. With lack of income she had no choice but to up and relocate back to her hometown of Newport.One Saturday Morning was the story Charlotte and Dylan’s story. Out of all T.K.’s stories this one I think touched me the most. Charlotte and Dylan both were missing something as they both came from a loss in their past relationship. Their passion for eachother was through the roof. Very rare find to read in one of his books. I should mention he did it very tastefully. I loved what values they both stood for. There was a town rivalry, backstabbing, forgiveness, etc. Something for everyone in this book if you ask me.
My only criticism is that it ended too early! I wanted more :) otherwise it was another enjoyable installment in this series. I would have liked to see the bed and breakfast from the other books featured more as well. Aside from that, it truly was a great book. This is just from a fan of Mr. Chapin's who can't get enough of his books or of this series.
Hard hitting and convicting are the words that come to mind when I finished reading One Saturday Evening by T.K. Chapin. This story deals with the loss caused by divorce especially for a mother and her daughters. Heart shattering betrayal makes trusting and a willingness to completely love again issues that are intertwined with a prejudice involving a long family feud. Hard hitting because Mr. Chapin writes from a Godly perspective sparing no punches. Convicting because it causes me to look as my own biases and prejudices in light of what God would say about them.T. K. Chapin calls it like he sees it. He writes Christian fiction that is never sugar coated but instead steeped in contemporary realism. One Saturday Evening tells me that he lives in the same world as me and goes to the same kind of church as me; make up of forgiven sinners who are still not so perfect. Clearly his stories remind us that God is able to help us with that.The author provided a copy for an honest review.
