This is the 3rd in the Bonneterre series by Kaye Dacus. Forbes Guidry is the older brother to Meredith from Menu For Romance and the older cousin to Anne from Stand-In Groom. He is a self-proclaimed control freak and meddles in the lives of all of his younger siblings and some of his cousin's lives as well. Alaine Delacroix was introduced in Menu For Romance as the local news reporter from channel 6 who enlists Major into a chef segment for her daily "fluff" show. I recommend reading t More...

First, I must confess, this was the first Christian Romance that I have read in over a decade. Most of the romance novels I read now have a lot more heat, and sex, than this book has. So my judgement may be somewhat skewed by my reading preference.

In short, this is a very sweet, if somewhat quaint, story about two people who overcome obstacles to be together. A Case For Love is the third in the Brides of Bonneterre series; although I have not read the previous two books, I did not fe More...

A Case for Love by Kaye Dacus is the third installment of Brides of Bonneterre series. it’s a Christian fiction, but it was written in a way that would not make you feel that this is a Christian-romance fiction. The only thing that distinguish this book with other regular fiction book is that there’s no steamy sex scene and whatnot. Instead, encouragemen More...

I have been looking forward to this book since I read Stand In Groom, the first book in the series. There is something so appealing about a man that is not only attractive, but confident, caring, and very good at what he does. Forbes Guidry is all these things. He is the guardian of the family. His role is different than a parent. He reminds me more of the butler in the Batman movies. He offers advice, takes care of any problems they may have, steers them away from bad influences and has an unca More...

I really enjoyed reading this book! I read in just one day and was super glad that I had the chance! The only regret: that I didn't get to read book 1-Stand in Groom, or book 2-Menu for Romance. While this is book 3, I didn't feel totally lost while reading Forbes and Alaine's story. I am definitely going to have to check book 1 and 2 out,though!

I have never read Kaye Dacus' work before, but I am pleased with her writing style. She really pulls her readers in with the plot and amazin More...

A CASE FOR LOVE was the first book I read by this author and found it different and new, but in a good way from the normal take on romance.
Two thirty somethings, looking to settle down, while just happening to be the most eligible singles in their community. Forbes in a high end attorney for some of the best paying clients in his community and he grudgingly accepts the award of most eligible bachelor in his hometown. But after meeting Alaine (who also happens to be distinguished as the “o More...

A Case for Love by Kay Dacus is a contemporary romance that takes place in the town of Bonneterre, Louisiana. Alaine Delacroix is the moderator for a noon day television show (as she puts it, “fluff” pieces), trying to convince her boss that she is capable of the hard hitting news stories that will land her a spot on the evening news desk. As Alaine is looking for a hard hitting story, one lands in her lap in the form of her parents’ loosing their business to an unscrupulous mortgage company wo More...

This was a wonderful story of 2 people who quite literally were from the opposte sides of the train tracks. Alaine Delacroix is a news reporter who loves what she does and is good at it. Her family are business owners that have helped to build up the Mills. Forbes Guidry also comes from a very successful family & a successful attorney with a well-known firm.

When Alaine ends up speaking to Forbes about representing her family and others in an law suit against his own family, he must More...

I thoroughly enjoyed A Case for Love, and I really hope it's not the end of the series. I'm hoping we get to find out what happens with the rest of the Guidry siblings, especially Jenn and Rafe. I loved Kaye's "surprise" that she hits us with on the very first page! Didn't see that one coming at all. =)

For the third year in a row, Forbes Guidry has been named Bonneterre's Most Eligible Bachelor of the Year, compliments of Bonneterre Lifestyle magazine. As in previous y More...

A Case For Love by Kaye Dacus
Set in the small Louisiana town of Bonneterre, A Case for Love takes a look at the struggle between ethics and family ties, small town retailers and corporate advancement. Attorney Forbes Guidry takes on a pro bono case that puts him in direct conflict with the largest company in town. Did we mention that Boudreaux-Guidry Enterprises is owned by his parents? Of course, a bonus to the case is that it puts him in close contact with Alaine Delacroix, the TV perso More...

A Case for Love is the third in a series. Having read the first two books, I found that this one followed very well. In reading this book I was reminded that no matter how much we try to take control of situations in our lives, that control belongs to the Lord. He alone has complete control, and we need to leave that control in His hands. Forbes Guidry, the leading man in the book, found that as a successful lawyer and oldest of the Guidry siblings, no matter how much he was able to keep his lif More...

I had this on pre-order from Amazon so that I would get it as soon as it came out. I loved the first two books in the series so was super excited to get this one! I enjoyed the book and do like the author's style. One beef I had with the book was with the hero being willing to take on the case against his parents--with the way the author has built up the closeness of the family unit it just kind of didn't fit. Also, it didn't seem quite plausible that his parents would be capable of doing th More...

I had the privilege of interviewing Kaye Dacus, on our radio show "Kingdom Highlights", for her new book, "A Case For Love", Book Three in her, "Brides of Bonneterre" series published by Barbour. If you haven't read the first two books you have missed a great treat. My personal opinion is that this is Kaye Dacus' best work and Ms. Dacus has ended the series on a very high note indeed.

I loved both Stand-in Groom and Menu for Romance (both are bargain priced @ Amazon!) and was really looking forward to reading about Forbes who I absolutely love, in A Case for Love. I really enjoyed it! Kaye Dacus definitely has the knack when it comes to writing "real" characters. Forbes and Alaine, even though they are beautiful, successful people struggle with their faith, their families and their careers just as we do. The storyline is very interesting and I was pleasantly surpris More...

This book was great. I got it though the First Reads giveaway, and really enjoyed it especially towards the end. I only wish that Alaine and Forbes had spent more time together earlier in the book instead of spending so much time living almost entirely separate lives. As a result the book starts out a little slow but around page 100 it picks up and ends on a really good note. I recommend this for people that are interested in a cute love story and who have the time and interest to get through to More...

This was an enjoyable read for sure. Light, easy, happily ever after. I've read a few books by this author and I've enjoyed them all. I picked this one up at the library. Christian fiction, no language or sex. And just for the record, I don't see anything wrong with the oldest child control freak thing! :)

This book was more religious than I usually expect a romance novel to be, but for those who prefer characters who attend church and pray regularly, this was a very good book. The plot was believeable, the situations interesting, and the characters were well drawn. I've never read any of the author's other books and occaisionally I felt like she was referring to the plot of a previous book.

This was a very straight forward and well written christian romance. I personally prefer a bit more suspense or mystery as opposed to a straight romance novel but enjoyed the character development, personal integrity and biblical based messages.

Alaine is a carefully polished newswoman, on tv. Her parents home and business is threatned, and she is forced to choose image and fighting for the life her family has built. Forbes Guidry, a lawyer, is used to making things go his way. I liked this book series. It was fun. It fell a little flat at times, but well worth the read. Very clean, and great romance. Good for a teen.

This is the third - and final - installment in the Brides of Bonneterre series by Kaye Dacus. I enjoyed this story just as I enjoyed the first two. I've become attached to the characters, feel as if I've known them forever. So sad to not be able to follow them along the rest of their journeys (see? I think they're real people!).

Kaye's stories are well written, easy to follow, with likeable characters that you can relate to. I look forward to reading more from her.

I won this book from First Reads giveway, and I'm really happy that I got such a great book! Right now, I want to read the other books in the series. It was well written, the plot flowed, the characters were well developed, had a good balance of drama, romance and humor.

I would recommend this book to everyone who would love a cute story, that includes some love and food.

Kaye Dacus has a way with storytelling that I really enjoy. With that said, I was not quite a fan of this book. The other books in the series I really like and her historical series I love. "A Case for Love" was an uncomfortable read almost the whole way through and I found myself stressed out for the characters not knowing how anything could end well. I don't recommend this to be your first read from Kaye Dacus, but I do recommend her over all.
