Her Last Chance Cowboy by Tina Radcliffe

Her Last chance Cowboy by Tina Radcliffe is the fourth and final book in the Big Heart Ranch series.  It is the story of Tripp Walker, the horse whisperer, and Hannah Vincent who shows up at Big Heart Ranch pregnant and with a sweet five year old claiming to be related to the owners.  The two have enough baggage to fill the back of Tripp’s pick-up truck, but they both have loving hearts and want to change. Through working together, a 100 day horse challenge and the encouragement of their friends they may find they can make things work.

I enjoyed reading Her last Chance Cowboy and found myself very engaged in the story.  Ms. Radcliffe is a charming author and her stories take on real life issues in a way that makes your cheer for her characters and reflect on your own life. The secondary characters are charming and just plain fun.   She has so many fun colloquialisms that I was laughing and smiling throughout the book. I will tell you there is one that involved Aqua Net hairspray that is worth buying this book just to read. Seriously. 

This was  satisfying conclusion to the series.  It is a great story and I highly recommend it.  I was given a copy of the book by the publisher and not required to write a review.

A Return of Devotion by Kristi Ann Hunter

A Return of Devotion is the second book in the Haven Manor series by Krisit Ann Hunter. It follows Daphne Blakemoor and swoon worthy hero William, Marquis of Chemsford. Our heroine,Daphne, had a baby as a single mom and had gone into hiding. William, our hero, is trying desperately not to be like his father and move forward. Both characters are trying to forget their past and to make a new and better life. But, running into each other has made that complicated, and that is where this story begins.

I loved the story of Daphne and William and was drawn in from the first page after opening the stunning cover. This is a delightful read, and is regency writing at its best. The story includes a grand house, beautiful grounds, superb characters,a wonderful plot, sweet children, humor, an endearing heroine, and a hero you will fall in love with. Plus, moments to reflect on your relationship with God or wonder more about His role in your life.

To me what was also so impressive about this story was how Kristi Hunter was able to weave in all the different characters that were involved in such a complicated story, and the story flowed flawlessly. I could not put this book down, and highly recommend A Return of Devotion.

I received a free review copy of this book from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
