In My Opinion

Let’s start with what we all know about most Love Inspired books. They are predictable and somewhat formulaic, but I have to say that this publisher knows their audience well because sometimes we are just in the mood to read something predictable with a promised happy ending.

And then there are books like Loving the Rancher’s Children by Mindy Obenhaus. You’re reading along, heading straight for that happy ending and then, Boom!, you’re on a detour you totally didn’t see coming. The kinds of plot twists are what make books more memorable for me.

I would have enjoyed this book without the plot twist for several reasons. One, I love reading about guys with children who are just barely getting by until a woman comes in and rescues him. Two, I connected with Alli and Jake from the first pages of this book. They’ve both experienced some difficulties in their lives but are pressing on. And since the two were best friends in their youth, they have some deep history between them.

I’ve been a fan of Obenhaus for a while now and Loving the Rancher’s Children has me ready to get my hands on whatever she writes next (no plot twist required).
