A wonderfully crafted story of God’s love and guidance. A second chance story is always rewarding, yet when used in conjunction with His guidance, the outcome of the story is so much richer then we could ever imagine. Ms Kemerer provides the enriching words that prayers may be molded around to talk to God about His plans for us. Nash, Amy, and Ruby’s story was inspirational and a reminder that we all deserve a second chance and that God will lead us in His plan for us.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

Reunited With The Bull Rider Is a very touching - emotional book - weird huh? With a name like that but it is touching and loving when someone gives up something to help the sister of the man that hurt you. Will he tell her the secret of why he hurt her to get his sister some help? We're does GOD fit in? Everywhere Amen? This book is so wonderfully touching to the heart, you will love what it says to yours.

Amy Deerson is a woman of faith with a passion for helping children, and quilts. Amy is stunned to see the man who left her 10 years ago come back into her life, but she doesn't back down and does what she can to help him and his sister.



Nash Bolton retired from bull riding to raise his 4 year old sister. Their mother was a drug addict, and little Ruby needs stability so he decides it's finally time to go to the place he swore he'd never return to because of how he left, and the girl he left behind.



Amy is unsure about Nash, but she doesn't have to think twice about helping Ruby. Nash is a great brother, and will do anything to help Ruby. Nash and Ruby have a special bond, he knows what she went through because he lived it, he hates seeing her struggle with the same habits that he had to break.



I loved Amy's faith, and she does her best to live it despite her painful past. She struggles to to the right thing, and was relatable.



Nash admires Amy for how far she's come, he knows that he couldn't be good enough for her, but he supports her dreams and appreciated her helping with Ruby. He is a rough tough cowboy, who loves his sister dearly, and is willing to put aside his pride to do what is best for her.



Ruby grows so much under Nash and Amy's care, she tries new things, and comes to trust Amy. Amy also must face Nash's past in order to help Ruby, and in so doing comes to understand the man who hurt her better.



This is one of the best contemporary books that I've read in a long time, and it definitely had me wondering why I'd never read Jill Kremerer before now! Highly recommend this tender romance about fighting for the ones you love, and forgiveness that brings healing in a broken world.

When they were young Amy and Nash had something up until he split without a word. Now he's back with a child in tow and Amy seems like the mentor who can many help out this child. But its hard not to fall for eachother after what they have been through and they have to make sure to set things aside for the sake of the child.



I thought that this was a pretty good heart warming story. It was interesting getting to know of their relationship in the past, why things happen the way they did seeing them opening up to each other and how they were able to handle it now. I thought it was interesting getting to know the child and seeing Amy try her best to get the child to be okay around others seeing that child change slowly. I enjoyed how everything played out there was just enough drama to keep things interesting. Overall this was a pretty enjoyable book I really liked it.

I loved the story of Amy & Nash. My heart broke for Amy and it took me quite a while in the book to warm up to Nash.

Title: Reunited with the Bull Rider

Author: Jill Kemerer

Pages: 224

Genre: Christian romance

Rating: 4 Stars

When Nash Bolton left town without so much as a goodbye he left Amy Deerson's heart shattered. Now he's back in town with a kid. Amy wants to mentor children as she feels she will never have any of her own. She didn't plan on being the mentor to the little girl Nash has brought back, when she learns that Ruby the little girl is Nash's sister she more inclined to help, but she doesn't want to be around Nash. However, it seems that God and Ruby have other plans.
I enjoyed this sweet romance about two flawed people learning to let go of the mistakes of their past and learn to trust God with their future. And Ruby was such a sweet little girl that you couldn’t help but love. The Bible verse that Amy Clings to in the book Isaiah 6:8 was in my life group lesson the day I started this book, and it’s been popping up a lot in by devotions and Bible. Sometimes even Christian Fiction novels can get you thinking as well as help fuel the desire to dive into God's word.
Overall I enjoyed this sweet read. I would recommend to anyone who loves clean romance with a sweet little girl and two people learning to follow God's plan.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

A beautifully written, gripping novel from a superbly talented author! I love strong, inspirational messages from God, along with strong cowboys and perfectly chilled heroines. This book has those and more! Definitely worthy of a 4 Star shout out and high recommendations!

Amy Deerson loved Nash Bolton with every fiber of her teenage heart. Every dream she had centered around marrying him, until the day he walked out and didn't return. Thinking he must have died or something terrible had happened, she was shattered when she saw a news article stating that he'd won a bull riding competition miles away. Devastated, she tucked her heart away and made a life for herself in her hometown of Sweet Dreams, Wyoming.

Nash Bolton recently became the legal guardian for his little sister, Ruby. First-hand knowledge of the trauma the four-year-old has experienced does not make it easier to deal with her terror of other people. He needs help and he needs it yesterday. Since he already owns property in Sweet Dreams - purchased back when he thought he had a chance with Amy - he decides to move back to town, hoping to give Ruby the safety and community he fell in love with as a young foster child. Hearing about a mentoring program sponsored by the local church, he learns that there is a volunteer who is eager to work with a young child. Finding out that the volunteer is Amy, however, complicates things.

Can Amy set aside her resentment of Nash's leaving in order to help Ruby overcome her fears? Can working with Ruby also help her understand Nash?

This story will grab readers by the heart and squeeze every drop of compassion from them. Knowing that there are children out there enduring the kinds of things that both Ruby and Nash did in this story, is beyond heartbreaking. Jill Kemerer's stories just keep getting better and this one is excellent!

I loved this book! I have to admit that from a young age this city girl has been intrigued by rodeo even though I've only seen it in movies and read about it in books like this one. So when I saw the hero was a bull rider I was instantly interested. In fact, so much so that I neglected to pay attention to the beautiful child on the cover!

There was so much I loved about this book. The church's mentor program for kids, how the whole town supported Nash when he returned to town. And the rehab facility was quite intersting too. I honestly can't pick one or two things that just really captured my attention.

But in the end what I really loved was the love story. And I especially loved that it didn't happen easily. I get bored with the easy love stories and I wasn't the least bit bored in this one. Both characters had to work to overcome both personal internal conflict and also their interpersonal conflicts from their past. But I love how prayer was central to all decisions in this book.

I've only read a few of Kemerer's books but this was was just as good as the other's I've read and I have all of her others on my TBR pile.

I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This is my honest opinion.
