The Rancher’s Homecoming (Return of the Blackwell Brothers #5) by Anna J. Stewart (released Dec 2018)

This story followed Chance, the youngest and last of the Blackwell brothers. What a great story to end an amazing series!

I loved reading Chance and Katie’s story and their happy ever after. I also loved reading about the other Blackwell brothers and their significant others as their stories continued. I still did not care for Ben, one of the other brothers, as previously mentioned in another review. I wish they had made him into a better character than he was portrayed.

The brothers finally reach a decision about whether to sell or keep the ranch and as readers we finally get to see what happens to Big E (grandfather to the boys) and why he disappeared.

I think the authors did a wonderful job with putting this series together and I would highly recommend reading them all in order to get the most out of the characters. I wound love to read a novella (quick story) to follow up with the characters read about their upcoming weddings and future plans.

This series was fun to read, had great characters, beautiful ranch setting in Montana, and included clean romance and drama. Highly recommend!

The Rancher’s Fake Fiancée (Return of the Blackwell Brothers #4) by Amy Vastine (released Nov 2018)

Main characters Tyler (another brother and twin to Chase) and Hadley (Tyler’s work assistant and pretend fiancee) travel to the Montana ranch to help with an advertising plan as the brothers decide whether to sell or keep the ranch. No one knows what has happened to Big E, especially after his latest ex-wife shows up back into town.

I loved the character Hadley and how fast she blended in with the family and how she tried to help the brothers see what a blessing and asset the ranch can be to them.

I have really enjoyed the character development in this series since the brothers, couples, and towns people are all mentioned in every book so readers can continue to find out about their lives and romances. I can’t wait to read the final book (book #5) in this series and hope to find out what has happened to Big E and the final decision about the Ranch.

The Rancher’s Redemption (Return of the Blackwell Brothers #3) by Melinda Curtis (released Oct 2018)

This was probably my least favorite brother of all the Blackwell brothers so far. Ben seemed too harsh and uncaring-it may be his attorney type personality.

The story line and main characters didn’t catch my interest like the other stories did in this series unfortunately. I still read it though and enjoyed hearing about the other town characters (like Pop, the Judge and Katie) and the Blackwell brothers continuing sagas as they try to figure out what happened to Big E and whether to keep the ranch in the family or to sell it.

I liked the small town girl Rachel and her strong character as a single mom and attorney for the town. Ben returns to town to fight against Rachel and to work out the water line disagreement between their two ranches.

Even though this story wasn’t my favorite, I am absolutely loving this series and can’t wait to read more!

The Rancher’s Rescue (Return of the Blackwell Brothers #2) by Cari Lynn Webb (released Sept 2018)

I enjoyed reading this story and especially enjoyed the main characters Ethan and Grace.

This is book 2 of the Return of the Blackwell Brothers which is the continuing saga of what has happened to Big E and if the ranch is going to survive his disappearance. Ethan is brother number 2 and comes back to help his older brother Jon.

Grace is an old family friend of the Blackwell family and works at her parents local shop in town. Grace is a hard worker and tries to balance her pregnancy and complicated relationship with her sister and Ethan through out the story. I really liked reading about Grace and Ethan’s friendship and how she balances her life.

I have really enjoyed reading this series so far and can’t wait to read more!

The Rancher’s Twins (Return of the Blackwell Brothers) by Carol Ross (released Aug 2018)

This was such a great story! Clean romance, great characters, nice steady plot that was fun to read! Such a great start to this series introducing the 5 Blackwell Brothers and their Montana Ranch. The imagery was really good-I felt like I was there on the ranch with them doing chores working along side them.

Lydia was an amazing, strong, caring woman! I loved her character! Sometimes Jon annoyed me with his hangups about women and his assumptions so I hope he gets better in future books. I loved reading about his twins and getting to know all of the town characters like Pop and Katie. Great start to this series-can’t wait to read more!
