March 15, 2019 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

Another series I’m working my way through this month is Mindy Obenhaus’s Rocky Mountain Heroes series. In book one, readers are introduced to the Stephens brothers who star in this series.

About the Book

The Rancher Next Door

Single mom Carly Wagner is surprised to learn she’ll have to share ownership of the home she’s inherited with her first love–and first heartbreak–Andrew Stephens. The man who fled their tiny Western town is back and standing in the way of her dreams to expand her B and B. Now a successful businessman, Andrew has eight weeks to buy Carly out. But Carly’s too stubborn to persuade–and too beautiful to ignore. When fire ravages her inn and she and her daughter move in to their shared property, Andrew’s in over his head. Time is running out and Andrew must decide: leave and chase another deal…or stay and chase Carly’s heart.

He’s not the only one who needs saving…

But maybe they can save each other?

Dark, brooding, dangerous…and possibly suicidal. Renegade rancher Justin Cade was exactly the kind of man former army chaplain Brielle Thompson needed to avoid after escaping the horrors of Afghanistan with an honorable discharge—and PTSD. The whole point of moving to the remote Rocky Mountains of Colorado was to leave the darkness behind, not fall back into it. But falling she is…

Finding Evergreen by Jennifer Rodewald – Review

March 24, 2018 by Suzie Waltner 1 Comment

Friends, this book wrung me out. So much so, I’m going to warn you about my rambling review. There was so much to digest and ruminate on. Finding Evergreen is definitely one read that left me with a book hangover.

In My Opinion

While I’m a fan of romance reads (and Hallmark movies and chick flicks), I’m also well aware that life continues past the first kiss, past the proposal, past the wedding.

In a market saturated with Happily Ever Afters and even Happy for Nows, writing about the pain and heartache of real life takes courage on the author’s part. Life is messy, filled with disappointments, disagreements, and pain. Especially during the first year of marriage where two people are struggling to learn to merge their lives. Add in a faster child with a chip on her shoulder and messy becomes chaotic.

All she’d ever wanted seems out of reach. Giving up is the only option…until her best friend and local hero Jared Cade steps in. The last thing she wants is Jared’s help.

Christmas at Cade Ranch by Karen Rock (Review)

November 15, 2017 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

While I’ve been listening to Christmas music for a couple weeks now (don’t judge. I love it and one month just isn’t enough), I have held off a bit on the Christmas book reviews. But, if you want to read them before December 25, I figure now’s the time to start sharing them with you! Today’s Christmas story is brought to you by Harlequin Heartwarming (sweet romance) and author Karen Rock.

About the Book

James Cade has one priority: keep the family ranch running smoothly in the wake of his younger brother’s death. With Jesse’s ex, Sofia Gallardo, and her young son, Javi, stranded at Cade Ranch over Christmas, this task just got a lot harder. The longer Sofia and Javi stay, the harder it is to imagine the ranch without them. James couldn’t save his brother from his inner demons, but he can give his nephew a secure future. Maybe more—if he can figure out how to trust Sofia, and stop feeling like he’s betraying Jesse. Because trying to stop thinking about beautiful, determined Sofia is impossible.
