I love this book..it was a passion love story from the beginning to the very end....I felt Jewel's pain and dilimmas....(about not wanting to be in a relationship with a man who has a child and an ex-wife)...but Sterling was such a respectful gentlemen and treated her with such honor and dignity....highly recomended

Like most single women, Jewel Chandler has a list of requirements in order to be “Equally Yoked” when dating. Her requirements include things like they must have gone to an Ivy League college, must not have been married before, and must not have children. High school class mate Sterling Bishop does not meet those requirements. After accepting a dare from her small circle of friends, Jewel decides that she’ll take a change and go out on a date with Sterling to prove that she’s not as superficial as they claim she is. Sterling feels that Jewel is the one for him, but is wondering if she’ll accept the fact that he has an ex wife, Raven and an adorable young daughter, Kylee. Will Jewel allow her stubborn streak and her list keep her from everlasting love, or will she risk everything on things that don’t have any meaning.
What I really enjoyed about this story is that it showed that as a single woman, you don’t have to be so rigid on certain things. In now way am I saying that you don’t have to have standards, but certain things shouldn’t necessarily be a deal breaker. I also enjoyed that even though this book is a part of a series, each book can be read independently and there are no cliffhangers.

It Must Be Love is the third installment of the Chandler Legacy. Jewel Chandler has high standards for her future boyfriend. Sterling Bishop is the exact opposite of what Jewel is looking for, he has an ex wife and a daughter and those two things are at the top of her no way for me list.
As a women I believe we all make some kind of list of does and don’t that we want in a Men once we have made our decision to start to looking. I think Jewel had some very high standards but I do believe you should have somethings in common to have a successful relationship. My favorite character in the story was Kylee, kids often make you see things you might not notice and they can have a great effect on you.

Great series
The Chandler Legacy is a great series. Since I live in the area where the series is set it makes the books that more interesting. When I first started reading this book I did not like the main female character Jewel. As she was described by her friends, she was shallow. But having read the previous books and being introduced to her mother El, I fully understood. It was wonderful to read how the author developed this character from the beginning of the book to the end.

I absolutely loved Sterling and Jewel's love story. She ultimately fell in love with a divorcée and his beautiful daughter Kylee, even though her self imposed standards of dating a man with an ex-wife and kid flew right out the window once she met Sterling Bishop and his daughter who was cute, smart, and resourceful! She not only melted Jewel's heart, she also managed to bring them all closer together!

Single Dad dating and sincere conflict Adjustment
Exceptional romance exploring conflicts of dating with child. Story opens your heart to Sterling's conflict of including his daughter and Jewel and their permanence in his life. His genuine in depth and thorough examination was my undoing. Appreciated the realistic depiction of mom concerns.

Jewel is too funny with her list of requirements for a boyfriend, that's not how it works. Sterling has an ex-wife and a child - not on Jewel's list. He''s determined that Jewel is the one for him and is determined to prove it to her. Loved it, but her Mother is definitely a snob!

My my my,Jewel and Sterling. Having standards are a wonderful thing to have but when love walks in you sometimes have to reevaluate the situation. I am glad they found the love they have for each other and Kylee.

MS Night, is becoming a great writer. She is falling in the group with B. Jackson and other great writers. I will continue to look and get her books. The plots are great and spellbound stories. Keep up the good writing, look forward to reading another.

Too bad most people in real life don't have the common sense to consider their children when introducing them to potential mates. A really good storyline and truthful too!
