Christmas, Christian Romance...
Zach Kahler determined it was time to leave New York and return home to Texas. He plans to take over the newspaper in his hometown. He chases down a boy that picks his pocket. He discovers there are two children, and they are orphans. Soon he finds himself adopting them and taking them to Texas.
Back home, he finds Chloe, a girl he went to school with. All her life she was treated like an outcast. She has finally found a way to make a living and a place to stay. Chloe and the twins must find a way to overcome their past. Zach teaches them faith, love, and how to become a family.
I love this book. It is Christian romance at its finest. There is a deep message in A Texas Legacy Christmas-- one that we can all benefit from, forgiveness.

A TEXAS LEGACY CHRISTMAS is the final book in the Texas Legacy Series. Zack Kahler is now grown and living in New York but looking forward to moving back to Kahlerville and running the town newspaper. Before he leaves New York he has a chance encounter with a set of 6 year-old, pick-pocketing twins. When he learns the twins are orphans he decides to make a donation to the orphanage before he leaves town. In a twist of fate and a matter of 24 hours he finds himself adopting the twins, Curly and his sister Charley. Wondering what he's gotten himself into, he tries to figure out how to balance fatherhood and running a newspaper. Checking in at the boardinghouse, Zack is surprised to see Chloe Weaver working the front desk, an outcast in school because of her mixed parentage, Zack had befriended her, bringing her a sandwich each day so that she didn't have to go without lunch.
Chloe has led a difficult life. Losing her mother at an early age, she lived with her abusive father until he died in the house fire that took her home. When she lands a job at the boardinghouse, she is thankful to have a place to stay, and an income. Though Mr. Barton, the boardinghouse owner vows to win her heart, she knows it is not his to win. Her feelings for Zack, her childhood hero are nothing short of love, but she brushes them aside as foolishness.
Chloe helps Zack with the twins and the adjustment that comes with having kids. Not wanting to complicate his life further, Zack tries to ignore his growing feelings for Chloe, but it is no use. The kids love her and so does he.
I enjoyed A TEXAS LEGACY CHRISTMAS. It was fun to catch up with past characters like Morgan and Casey, Jenny and Grant, and Bonnie and Travis. Though the end was predictable, I still enjoyed the easy pace and enjoyable story DiAnn Mills knitted together.
Christmas in Kahlerville Endearing, Mills Succeeds Again January 14, 2008

This "bonus" installment of Mills' Texas Legacy series provides everything a sweet, driving romance needs. The holiday theme simply adds a bonus with the tree trimmings and holiday cheer! A grown-up Zach becoming a father of orphans created a unique situation, and Chloe's sweet beauty provides the perfect foil for him and their built-in family.
Excited to read about how the troublesome Zach grew up and the type of woman he would find, I found my initial reaction to the characters was not as joy-filled as I'd hoped. Where was the Zach I knew from Lightning and Lace? Who was this girl he supposedly fed in schoolhouse days? But once I allowed the book to write its own story rather than a continuance of books gone by, I highly enjoyed Mills' latest installment to the series.
Her characters are compelling and endearing, and Kahlerville is still wonderful. Zach and Chloe need to be together, and so do Simeon and Miss Scott, of course.
Though I believe the first three in the series provide more excitement and "meat" to keep me reading, the sweet warmth of this "dessert" book was welcome to get me into the loving cheer of the holidays.

DiAnn Mills' A TEXAS LEGACY CHRISTMAS
Reviewed by Marion Kelley Bullock
Zack Kahler is ready to leave New York and return to his hometown, Kahlerville, Texas, where he has bought the local newspaper. He slips on the ice, and six-year-old twin waifs swoop down and help him up. In the process, they relieve him of his wallet. He goes to the orphanage where they live, to leave money for their care, and ends up adopting them.
So Zack, along with Curly and his sister, Charley, arrive in Kahlerville by rail. They settle in the local boarding house, where Zack stays busy taking over the newspaper and keeping the twins out of trouble. Zack renews his friendship with Chloe Weaver, who works at the boarding house. Back in their school days, when she often had no food, Zack brought her a sandwich for lunch every day. This she remembers, as well as her feelings for him. She has loved him ever since.
The children are endearing and they interact with Zack and Chloe, as well as others, including Mrs. Scott, schoolteacher, and Simeon, the cook. The owner of the boarding house plies Chloe with unwanted attention, and she begins to wonder if romance with him is all she can expect. But she hopes for the love of her heart.
A Christmas miracle is what they all need. And that's what this story is all about.
