Her Colorado Cowboy (Rocky Mountain Heroes) by Mindy Obenhaus

Another amazing Rocky Mountain Heroes-Cowboy story! I LOVE this series and the Stephens family! Great characters, small town, romance, feel good story… all wrapped into one.

This story (book 3) continues with one of the Stephens brothers-Noah-as the main character. Along with his other brothers mentioned in books 1 and 2 and his dad; they continue to expand the ranch to help the community and people around them. Out of town Lily and her children come to visit the ranch for the summer to take horse riding lessons. Along the way they all learn a lesson in patience, love, forgiveness and faith.

I truly can’t say enough great things about this story and this series. Once I started reading I didn’t want to put the book down until I was finished. I felt like I was there on the small Colorado ranch with the family experiencing the same things they did. I hope there will be several more books in this series to feature all 5 brothers but other town people as well.

Reunited in the Rockies (Rocky Mountain Heroes #4) will be released in Sept 2019.

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

In the Doctor’s Arms (Seasons of Alaska Book 6) by Carol Ross
I haven’t read any other “Seasons of Alaska” books or any books by this author, but I found it easy to read this book so I would consider it a stand alone story.

I loved the setting of this book-a small town in Alaska. The author was so descriptive with all the sights and activities that the characters did, I felt like I was right there with them.

I really wanted to like the main character Iris, but for most of the book I found myself frustrated with her because of her lack of interest in her hometown and family’s interests and complaining. For most of the book she was constantly comparing her life to one that she hoped she would have in the big city and couldn’t wait to leave. I found her discontentment towards her life very frustrating. Towards the end of the book, we as readers find out why she doesn’t enjoy the outdoors as much as her family and why she had left fear rule her life. I still had a hard time liking and connecting to her character which made it hard to finish the book, but I did.

Overall it was a good book with a good message about love and our life journey. I loved all the other family members, town characters, and especially the setting in Alaska.

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

Tender Hope (Cimarron Creek Trilogy #3) by Amanda Cabot

I have read all three books in this series and I really enjoyed all of them! The characters from both books 1 and 2 are mentioned along with other towns people in this story.

This book had a good steady pace, interesting characters and story line-great historical drama with romance and some mystery.

I was sad to see the series end, but happy that some questions were answered and things brought to light by the end of book 3. I recommend this book and series-it was fun to read!

The Deputy’s Holiday Family (Rocky Mountain Heroes) by Mindy Obenhaus

I absolutely love Christmas stories and this one was wonderful and easy to read!

This story followed Deputy Matt Stephens, one of the Stephens boys mentioned in book 1 of the Rocky Mountain Heroes series. His friend Lacie returns back to her hometown with her niece to spend the holidays with her mom. I loved how caring Lacie and Matt were to niece Kenzie and how they tried to make it a good Christmas even though her mom was gone.

I love reading about the close friendships and family dynamics of the Stephens family and the other families in town. I was happy that I got to read more about the characters from book 1 as well, including Dad Stephens. A story about second chances, hope, love and healing at Christmas time.

I have read both books in this series and highly recommend! Clean romance, christian, holiday fiction. I can’t wait to read more!
