I would like to thank Net Galley and the publisher for my ARC in exchange for my unbiased opinion.

This book is a wholesome love story with two people who are linked without knowing it.

Lorri has bought her own house on a piece of land away from her cheating husband, when he bought her a puppy she assumed he wanted to work on the marriage however he was having an affair with the dog trainer.

Ryder a widower who lost his wife and son in a car accident, already hated that his parents sold part of the family lot to build the sub division Lorri's new house is on.

When the two meet they need to overcome their mistrust before they find love.

This book was well written I would call it a summer beach read it goes by quickly and you love the characters.

Nancy Naigle is becoming one of my “favorite” authors for womens fiction. In “The Shell Collectors” she changed my life - because she wrote about a “small quaint southern town in SC”, so I researched it and found one that sounded lovely, just not on the coast - and….we moved to it….all because of this book “The Shell Collectors”. The Wedding Ranch was another lovely story. And such great characters. You will get lot in this story. You can read the description. Just let me say, once you begin reading her stories, you will not want to stop. Thank you
Nancy Naigle for writing your stories.

The Wedding Ranch by Nancy Naigle is a sweet romance. The characters have major, triggering problems that cause great interference in their finding second chances at love. I enjoyed this book very much, but I think it took a long time to build up to the climax and then quickly resolved, almost too quickly to be believable. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

I enjoyed reading The Wedding Ranch by Nancy Naigle. The characters in this story will warm your heart. Happy Reading!

👰🤵‍♂ I love a small-town romances and this novel was that and more! I really enjoyed getting to know the characters in this heart-warming second chance, friends to lovers’ romance!!

👰🤵‍♂ Two people with emotional scars trying to leave their past behind and begin again. Neither wants a relationship, but the attraction between them is too strong to deny!

👰🤵‍♂ I highly recommend this to anyone that is a Hallmark movie fan. I can see this playing out on the TV screen easily. Oh, and did I mention that a 180-pound cuddly mastiff dog named Mister steals the show!!

🎧 The Narrator, Lisa Larson, did a fantastic job. The voice transition between the two MCs was very smooth and the softness of her voice seemed to go along with this story perfectly.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press
The Wedding Ranch by Nancy Naigle follows the characters Lorri and Ryder who were seeking a new friendship that they found in one another. Both the characters had gone through difficult things in their life which they had not moved on from. I loved seeing the way Lorri and Ryder's relationship grew into so much more than what they could have believed. It's a sweet storyline with relatable characters. I highly recommend for those who are in need of a new read!

The Wedding Ranch by Nancy Naigle is a book that enchanted me from the beginning. It is the story of Lorri Walker whose husband is a pretty rotten guy. After their marriage falls apart she doesn't let it get her down, she pulls herself up and begins a new adventure in a nearby town. By chance, she meets Ryder Bolt, a local rancher that lost his wife and son in tragic circumstances a few years back. The two of them aren't looking for love, but they realize they have a connection of friendship. I enjoyed the slow build to the story and how it demonstrated coming back from deep loss and building new relationships.

I gave this a four out of five stars. I really liked this book I liked the relationship, the relationship with their friends and family.

The Wedding Ranch, by Nancy Naigle, is a sweet love story with a few twists that keep it interesting. I am not familiar with the author's past works, but this will not be the last of her books that I read. Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC ebook in exchange for my honest review. This book was a perfect companion for me on this cold rainy day!

This was a sweet story. I loved the plot, but it just felt very surface level and basic to me. It is 100% a Hallmark movie in book form. Which is great, I love Hallmark movies. I just like my books to have a little bit more. I also felt like there was extensive details that weren’t necessary or small talk that wasn’t connected. 3 starts from me.

The Wedding Ranch by Nancy Naigle is a modern day love story with interesting twists. The main characters of Ryder and Lorri were interesting and likable. They both struggled with significant events from the past yet manage to move forward, although certainly not over them.

Lorri and Ryder agreed they were just looking for friendship, yet the obstacles seemed to grow between them and they had to find ways past those obstacles. I like how Lorri was looking for a community to live in and enjoy while Ryder was still mourning the loss of land to that same community. That was just the first in a series of twists that the couple had to work through.

The novel moved right along with secondary characters helping move Lorri and Ryder to new understandings. I enjoyed how Lorri was so open to new adventures! Lorri’s puppy (LOL) Mister was a fun addition to the story line. I think the strength of the story was the growth of the main characters in letting go of the past and engaging in the future. The Wedding Ranch by Nancy Naigle was a good read.

The book has a lovely, heartwarming plot line. The characters are people you can connect with. However, it was very predictable and VERY wordy.

I understand this book is perfect for some people, so I did not post my thoughts on my instagram.

📖My Thoughts📖

Sometimes you just need one of those heartwarming hits you in all the feels kind of book. This was absolutely that book and then some. I completely lost myself in this book, feeling every little heart tug, smile, and tear. This was such a delightful and wholesome story of friends to lovers, both trying to mend their pasts while developing a beautiful relationship. What I enjoyed most about this book was that while there were some very touchy themes with serious tests of faith, they were all managed in such a mature and compelling fashion, written in a very tasteful manner. I loved all the characters, especially big ol’ Mister, the mastiff. If you’re in the mood for a good clean Christian romance with small town Hallmark vibes, grab this one and be prepared to get completely lost in this one. It will warm your soul in so many ways.
Thank you Netgalley, Nancy Naigle and St. Martin’s Press for the opportunity to read and review this book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to netgalley for the ARC.

This book is very slow to get going, and it also took me a while to connect to the characters. I almost didn’t finish, but I am glad I kept going. Once, I was pulled into the story I really enjoyed it. This is a really sweet story of two unlikely people who get to know each other. Both are hurting from the past and just are not ready for a relationship beyond friendship.

This was my first read by the author
Hope you enjoy it.
And as always Happy Reading!

There are a few things I really appreciated about this book. It's a clean romance, which is always my favorite. It doesn't shy away from complicated or thick, emotional stuff. I got a few chuckles from it, it flew by, and the cast was interesting.

But I don't quite understand why this book is called The Wedding Ranch when the actual wedding ranch had pretty little to do with the story. The beginning was slow; I think the first couple of chapters didn't even need to be included. And the ending felt both dragged out and rushed at the same time somehow.

I will check out other Nancy Naigle books for sure after this one.

Well this book was just special! The evolution of the main characters relationship, a perfect friends to lovers storyline, and Christian aspects! I love that it’s set in a small town as well.

Ryder and Lorri are such special characters! And Mister the pup was a perfect addition to the story as well. I really loved the way their relationship evolved even after the act 3 break-up.

The TWIST that intertwined their histories was really quite sad but as you read along it makes perfect sense!

I highly recommend this book!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the gifted copy for my honest review.

The Wedding Ranch, by Nancy Naigle, is an absolutely delightful, uplifting, refreshing story. This charming story has an enviable small town setting, a sweet, second chance love story of sorts, and it covers the topics of overcoming heartbreak and setbacks of various kinds and finding your own true self and calling in life. This story has a lovely faith element, which was especially inspiring and a satisfying conclusion.

This is an easy five-start read for me. I loved this heart-warming story and look forward to more from this author.

The wWedding Ranch is a well written second chance romance. I enjoyed the plot very much. I definitely recommend this book. My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my advance book. This is my unbiased review.

After her relationship with her husband ends when he leaves her for their dog trainer Lori moves to a parcel of land which she hopes will be her new start for her and her dog Mister.

She is immersing herself into the country life when she stumbles upon Ryder.

The two form a connection. This was a good book with a sweet story.

Thank you st martins press and netgalley for allowing me to read this book. This book started out slow for me but once it picked up it was so sweet! You could tell from the moment Lorri and Ryder met they would never be just friends. I love how wholesome this book is! I will say I saw the plot twist coming from the beginning. I loved how they learned to heal together. This was a beautiful love story!
