I enjoyed the characters and the storyline.
We all have dreams, and hope we’re following God’s lead. Sometimes what we dream and pray for is not what God has in mind. In A Song To Call Ours, Amanda does just that, follows her dreams, at any cost, even the cost of losing someone who loves her, Mitch. It’s when her dreams are everything she could ask for that she realizes, her hopes and dreams are not God’s plans and her dreams are not what they seem. The story is an on the edge of your seat, drawing you in to find out what Amanda does next! With Mitch in waiting and all the people who have fallen in love with Amanda. It’s a must read book you can’t put down!!!
I would highly recommend A Song To Call Ours.
I was given this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.

A Song to Call Ours is the fourth book in the Front Porch Promises series by Merrillee Whren. I have enjoyed all of them, but this one might be my favorite. Amanda Reynolds is set on pursuing her dream of becoming a singer and songwriter in Nashville. Mitch Cunningham loves his small town garage and car repair shop. When the two meet, somethlng has to give. Their attraction gets in the way of their dreams.
The author is talented at crafting endearing and realistic characters and putting them in a setting where they can grow and blossom. This is a clean, sweet story brimming with faith and hope.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
I loved this book. All of it. The role music plays in the characters’ lives, the importance of family, and how each family member endeavors to bring out the best in one another, and protect each other. I miss the characters enough that I will read this book again!
When Amanda Reynolds broke down in tiny Pineydale, Tennessee, she had no idea she’d find the home of her heart. “Her dreams of getting to Nashville waved goodbye. She left Boston for the lure of Nashville” but she never made it that far. She is ready to take a chance, reckless though it seems.
Mitchell Cunningham found his heart, broken down on the side of the road. “His brain was telling him to run, but his heart told him” to take a second look. Accepting Mitchell’s help might be God’s way of helping her, too. As they both learn from their mistakes, they realize that “life is too short to let any opportunity pass them by.” Plucky Amanda finds the courage to follow God’s plan for her life, the courage to dream a new dream. “Mitchell makes her want to forget why she had started this journey.”
Delightful Charlotte is the voice of reason, an optimistic sounding board. “If you can’t trust someone you’ve known forever how can you trust someone you’ve just met?” Wonderfully, broken characters who find the faith and courage to trust in God and His healing love. I love that Whren always finds a way to weave in characters from her other stories.

This fourth book in Merrillee Whren’s Front Porch Series is my favorite. It is not necessary to read the previous books in this series to enjoy this one as each works as a stand-alone novel. However, I have enjoyed all the books in this series and strongly encourage readers of Christian Romance to read all of them!
Car problems leave Nashville-bound aspiring singer/songwriter Amanda Reynolds stuck in the small East Tennessee town of Pineydale. Mitchell Cunningham, who owns the local garage, finds her on the side of the road and tows her car to his shop. When it is evident that the car is not worth repairing, Mitch arranges for Amanda to stay with his Aunt Charlotte while she works to save money so that she can continue her journey.
Amanda learns that she enjoys the people of Pineydale but is determined that not even her growing feelings for Mitch will derail her dream of making it to Music City. As hard as it is for Mitch, he helps her follow her dream.
The two of them experience emotional struggles as they try to balance their feelings for each other against Amanda’s career path. Should Mitch back off and leave Amanda to pursue her music career? Is it possible for Amanda to find a balance between music and life with Mitch?
I became immersed in following the ups and downs of their relationship. Of course, I was pulling all along for love to triumph, but wondering how this could happen.
As always, I found it refreshing to pick up a well written romance that is not littered with foul language or steamy sex scenes. It is also good to see Christian values interwoven into the relationship between the principal characters.
Pick up a copy of this book and get to know the residents of Pineydale. Follow Amanda’s pursuit of her dream and see where it takes her.
This is a story of perseverance and how God uses circumstan es beyond out control to be able to see what we really want. For Amanda it’s to be a musical success in Nashville who breaks down on the way and starts to fall for Mitch a small town mechanic. Mitch will need to let Amanda go her own way before she finds out what she really wants. Will she go back to Mitch or will he move to Nashville or are they doomed? This will show you if God is in control all things work for good. I received a complimentary copy and I am giving a review voluntarily.
