This is a Christian Romance a change from the books I’ve read
lately. I like to change up my reading now and again, and I was really hoping
this book would be a great change for me.
I almost always enjoy cowboy romance, and this one started
well. It centered around Nick Stafford who
inherited the ranch, he had two young girls whose mother had walked out on
them. He was having a really hard time
with the oldest she was acting out terribly.
The principal of her school refers him to a therapist, her sister as it
turns out. He doesn’t want to go, but he
finally gives in and finds the woman in a very small house buried deep in the
woods. Turns out she was in hiding from
her past. She was convinced finally to
work with his daughters. Of course,
eventually there is something there. I
can’t say anything more or I will give away the entire book.
I have no idea why but the book seemed to lag toward the middle
for me. I liked the story but it just
didn’t seem to pull me in and have me connecting with all of the
characters. The quotes from the bible
were always those that I had heard many times before and they did connect to
the story. Things picked up as I went
through the book and I did enjoy the ending.
This book was part of a Trilogy, it was the second in the series. I hadn’t
read the first book, it was fine as a standalone.
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. I received it through http://bloggingforbooks.com.
About Home on the Range:
Can the brother left behind and a woman without
hope work together for the good of two precious children?
Nick Stafford stayed in central Washington, working his family’s large ranch after his brothers left to pursue other passions—but his toughest job is being a single dad. As a child, he watched his father fail at marriage and parenting, so Nick was determined to show him up. He’d be a better husband, father, and ranch manager than Sam Stafford ever was. Despite that commitment, three years after Nick’s wife left him, he has a daughter in trouble at school and both of his girls are facing issues that force him to rethink his stubborn plans.
For Dr. Elsa Andreas, life fell apart when tragedy caused her to abandon her family therapy practice and retreat to the backwoods of Gray’s Glen. Her school principal sister believes Elsa can guide the Stafford girls and that working with kids will draw Elsa out of her protective bubble.
Summer on the Double S teems with life and adventure. Amid the bounty of God and land, will Nick and Elsa find the courage to build futures based on faith rather than fear?
