“A Rancher to Trust” by Laurel Blount *review & giveaway*

I really enjoyed this clean romance ranch story set in Pine Valley, Georgia.

Shortly after their secret marriage, young adult Dan takes off to another state leaving Bailey behind in their small hometown of GA. After years of insecurities and questions left unanswered, Dan comes home to visit with Bailey and finds himself drawn to her and his family he left behind. Of course the small town does not welcome him with open arms because of the young man Dan use to be.

I loved the main characters Dan and Bailey and their very real emotions and hard questions about the present and future they both needed to figure out. It was heartbreaking at times but I liked how their worked thru their issues, especially relying on friends advice and God’s direction and faith. I absolutely loved reading about the daily struggles and joys of parenthood that Dan suddenly finds himself thrown into.

Abel and Emily are mentioned in this book, who are from the story “A Family for the Farmer” published in 2016.

I really enjoyed reading this feel good, ranch drama, love inspired romance story! Highly recommend!

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
