The Rancher’s Fake Fiancee by Amy Vastine – Review

December 28, 2018 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for quick, clean reads, you really can’t beat Harlequin’s Heartwarming line. I’ve read several of these authors over the past year and each and every one of their books has been a great read without content I don’t want in my reading.

About the Book

“I’m coming home…With my bride-to-be.” Tyler Blackwell just announced that he and Hadley Sullivan are getting married. And they’ve never even dated! Now she and her boss are in Montana so Tyler can sell his family ranch. Hadley only agreed to continue the deception in exchange for a promotion. But moving up the corporate ladder pales beside her growing feelings for Tyler. Will his past and Blackwell family secrets sabotage what Hadley wants more than anything–a real wedding?

In My Opinion

The title alone tells you plenty about this book so I won’t go into detail about the synopsis of this story other than to say the setup was fun but once in Montana, things take a turn.

Tyler and Hadley both struggle to feel accepted by their families. Amy Vastine creates a believable situation where two people would need to continue to playout a fake engagement. And all three of the other Blackwell brothers (as well as a few other townspeople) make an appearance.

At its heart, this is a story of how a person’s perception can get skewed to the point it changes who they believe themselves to be. Both Tyler and Hadley struggle with their family dynamics which are sometimes tenuous but there is also love between the Blackwell brothers as well as Hadley’s family.

Four down brothers have found love. There’s one left and I am looking forward to Chance’s story and getting to meet his daughter Rosie in the final book of this series.

I am loving this Blackwell brothers, multi-author series. Three brothers have come home, there are two more to go!

The Rancher’s Twins by Carol Ross- Review

September 13, 2018 by Suzie Waltner Leave a Comment

Have you had a chance to read any books in the Harlequin Heartwarming line? They are great clean romance reads. I’ve been introduced to several new authors (a few of whom are banding together to write a series about five brothers who have gone their separate ways but all end up returning to their childhood home in Montana.) Carol Ross kicks off the series with The Rancher’s Twins.

IN MY OPINION…

Well, after finishing the first book in the Return of the Blackwell Brothers, I’m ready to binge read them all. Unfortunately, I can’t fit them all into my schedule right now—probably works out because they aren’t all out yet, anyway.

So instead of my binge read, let’s talk about Carol Ross’s contribution. The Rancher’s Twins sets readers up for what’s coming well. We’re introduced to the town, the family ranch, and a few people I’m sure will be making appearances in future books.
