MY REVIEW

This was such a sweet, clean romance about loss, love, family and second chances. I really enjoyed reading it!

Callie returns to Colorado to fix up her grandmothers gift shop after her death and runs into her childhood friend Wyatt. Both main characters are struggling with life and losses of loved ones. They work together to help each other with their needs-help with day to day tasks, a listening ear, empathy, and to find happiness again.

Easy to read, great characters and town setting. Highly recommend reading this Stone River Ranch romance.

MY REVIEW

I love reading Three Springs Texas books by this author! I especially have enjoyed getting to know the Sloan family. Each book can be read as a stand alone story.

Lacey is returning home to her small town in order to reconnect with her daughter after leaving the military. She hasn’t had alot of experience being a mom and struggles to connect and parent her daughter. I love reading how animals can help people heal and grow relationships-in this case horses!

Lacey has known Caleb most of her life but reconnecting with him was not something she had in mind. But when he offers to help her daughter get ready for the local rodeo in exchange for a date, she finds herself agreeing.

This was a sweet clean romance about second chances, love and family! Highly recommend this story or any story from Three Springs Texas!

MY REVIEW

I love reading love inspired books because of the clean romance, interesting characters and engaging story lines.

I liked getting to know Kirsten and her twin boys with her dreams of becoming a nurse and struggles as a single mom. When she returns home she has to deal with telling the boys father the truth-the man who broke her heart years ago when he said he didn’t want a family and kids.

This sweet story is about love, faith, family and second chances. Life can be scary and not turn out as we planned, but with faith and trust in God; anything is possible! This sweet romance was the perfect summer read!
