Back in the Saddle: A Novel (Double S Ranch) by Ruth Logan Herne

Back in the Saddle: A Novel (Double S Ranch) by Ruth Logan Herne

I would describe this story as an engaging, christian, western romance! It is book 1 to this new series, and since there are 3 brothers in this family, I would anticipate at least 3 books. At the end of the book there’s a sneak peek for book 2 which looks great!

I love cowboy western books and this story didn’t disappoint! The characters weren’t perfect and there was some conflict; but alot of the conflict was overcome by patience, forgiveness, and God’s grace.

I especially loved the ranch housekeeper, Angelina and how she helped the men come together for the good of the ranch and community. All the characters were delightful and the ranch sounded so warm and inviting. It was the perfect setting for a multiple story series.

I can’t wait to read more books from this new Double S Ranch series by Ruth Logan Herne.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from LitFuse Publicity in exchange for an honest review on my blog and social media-all opinions are my own.

About the book:
The prodigal is coming home.

It’s been a long time since Colt Stafford shrugged off his cowboy legacy for shiny Manhattan loafers and a promising career on Wall Street. But when stock market manipulations leave him financially strapped, the oldest son of legendary rancher Sam Stafford decides to return to the sprawling Double S ranch in Gray’s Glen, Washington. He’s broke, but not broken, and it’s time to check in with his ailing father, and get his legs back under him by climbing into the saddle again.

He doesn’t expect to come home to a stranger pointing a loaded gun at his chest—a tough yet beautiful woman that Sam hired as the house manager. Colt senses there’s more to Angelina Morales than meets the eye and he’s determined to find out what she’s hiding . . . and why.

Colt’s return brings new challenges. Younger brother Nick has been Sam’s right-hand man at the ranch for years and isn’t thrilled at having Colt insert himself into Double S affairs. And the ranch’s contentious relationship with the citizens of Gray’s Glen asks all the Stafford men to examine their hearts about what it truly means to be a neighbor. And as Wall Street recovers, will Colt succumb to the call of the financial district’s wealth and power—or finally the courage to stay in the saddle for good?
