A fun-loving troublemaker gives a workaholic Southern gal a real taste of Montana magic at the one and only Whisper Creek Ranch. “Maggie McGinnis just keeps getting better and better!”—Lauren Layne A rising star in the corporate world, Emma Winthrop enjoys the view from her cubicle in sunny Florida. But when she’s dispatched to a nursing home in Whisper Creek for three months of field experience, … three months of field experience, she discovers a slice of heaven made of mountains and mayhem—mostly in the form of rugged, drop-dead gorgeous Jasper Stone, who grinds his specialty beans at the town’s best coffee shop in between organizing dodge-ball games and wheelchair races in Emma’s hallways.
When Jasper walks in on this beautiful angel in silky purple underwear trying to rinse out her blouse, it’s a breathtaking view—even for a Montana native. Wreaking havoc here at Shady Acres keeps his dad in good spirits, but getting under Emma’s skin is proving to be even more fun. Jasper knows that he’s falling faster than a man with his past has any right to, but his body and his heart have a mind of their own. And Emma appears to be claiming both.

What an adorable story. I just loved the dialogue. I had to laugh out so many times. The author just nailed the plot. The characters were just perfect. I fell in love with Whisper Creek and want to move to Carefree myself. I have to go back and read the other books in this series to see how the magical waters worked for each individual couple! I highly recommend this book to anyone. It will enchant you right from the beginning! Jasper sounds like a guy that anyone would love to call a friend!
Taking a Chance by Maggie Mcginnis is everything you want a good romance to be plus some. Get ready to meet the quirky residents of Shady Acres. The whole lot of them are just too loveable. I fell in love with Emma and Jasper right from the beginning. It was easy to see that that were both dealing with something from their past and it eas getting in the way of their future, at least the fall in love, happy ever after part. Emma and Jasper made me laugh, made me cry and made me want to thump my head on the table! My goodness they were both fighting with everything in them not to get together even through you could cut the attraction with a knife! You did it again, took us back to the ranch we all love, the people we all love and gave us a reason to love it all again! Bravo Maggie Mcginnis!
When Emma Winthrop is sent to Whisper Creek to take over momentarily at Shady Acres nursing home she is certain she has been sent to a whole other world, it’s peaceful, charming, and so unlike the bustling city life she is use to. Then she meets a certain sexy barista that instantly starts to stir up the butterflies in her stomach, he is charming, funny… and very easy on the eyes. But getting involved with him seems silly since her stay in town is temporary…
The moment Jasper Stone’s eyes land on the beauty sent to run Shady Acres he can’t help but fall a little for her, she is unlike any other woman he has ever met, and the sparks swirling around between them tells him there is something there worth exploring. But her stay in Whisper Creek is short term, so he must decide if that “something” between them is worth the risk to his heart…
Taking A Chance is a touching, light-hearted, literary treasure! It has been a while since my last visit to the Whisper Creek series, but mere minutes into this read I found myself making myself right at home all over again, oh how I missed these wonderful characters! I thoroughly enjoyed this new addition the series, it warmed my heart, made me laugh, and left me blushing more than a few times! The story line was engaging and held my interest throughout, and the characters were perfectly crafted… you really can’t go wrong with this one, it is one of my absolute favorites from Ms. McGinnis to date! Highly recommend this one, these small town folks are sure to charm their way into your heart!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this title.
I really enjoyed the couples in this book and reading more about the residents of this wonderful town. This time Emma drinks the water and realizes all she ever dreamed of may not really b e all she wants. That all may not matter if Jasper can’t move on. The author does a great job of bringing out the characters highs and lows without loosing the flow of the story. Great fun with characters you can’t help but love.
“Come to Whisper Creek. Drink the water & you’ll never want to leave.”
You can run. You can hide. You’ll never get away from the feelings that Whisper Creek invokes. Emma was pulled from headquarters to fill in when a nursing home administrator needs surgery. Emma is planning on going completely by the book & staying out of trouble until she’s back in Florida. Then she meets Jasper & the staff & residents at Shady Acres. As they work their magic, she’s falling in love with the mountains. She’s realizing that no matter what her parents say, she’s worthy of love & appreciation.
Jasper has his own share of heartbreak. He’s just decided to live like today is all that matters. Everyone deserves to have fun. He draws the line at fun though. No love or happy ever after. He doesn’t deserve that. He’s taking care of his dad & running his coffee shop. That’s it.
Taking a Chance is a story about just what the title says, taking a chance on love. Emma & Jasper both feel they don’t deserve a chance at love. The mistakes they’ve made in the past have made sure of that. The characters are realistic & relatable. The residents of the nursing home add an increased depth & dimension to the story. The returning characters from Whisper Creek add continuity but I feel this book can be read as a stand alone. A truly wonderful romance with some heartbreaking moments, I’d recommend this book to everyone!
