Eh… I liked the concept but couldn’t get behind Adams character. He reminded me of a teenager - not a man who had been married before. Did not finish

I have received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it.

This is a great addition to the Miller family series. I adored both protagonists, Adam Miller and Lizzy Taylor. Adam has a full plate that he is trying to cope with at the moment. His mother, Leanne is coming for a visit after a several decades absence. He is also still trying to cope with the loss of his beloved wife, Louisa (even though she died 14 years ago at the age of 21) to cancer. He has struggled with his grief and turned his back on everything except for his family and the family ranch. Adam has put the deceased young woman on a pedestal and some thing will come to light that will blow the pedestal to smithereens! His cup has runneth over his breaking point.

Lizzy Taylor has been best friends with both Louisa and Adam. She had a slight crush on him in school, at least, until he saw Louisa and fell in love with her. Now 14 years later, Adam has to come to Lizzy's aid with her young son who was stung by a bee and has to be rushed to the medical center. It is the first time in 14 years that these two former best friends have anything to do with each other.

Adam and Lizzy have a long rough road to follow to get to their HFN. This one was difficult to read at times because of the depth of grief that Adam has to overcome. There really is no time period to overcome the 5 stages of grief.

I loved reading this in it's dual POV format. I was really able to understand Adam so much better when getting that glimpse into his thoughts in a given situation. He was something of a jerk at times with Lizzy but reading his thoughts really revealing a side of him that still had a gaping hole that hasn't healed yet.

While this is the second book of the series, you don't have to read the first book to fully enjoy this one. I would though highly recommend it (to someone over the age of 18 though.)

This is a slightly sexy read so I would not be able to recommend this to anyone under the age of 18.

I am so invested in this series.... The Miller's of Morgan Valley. The Rancher's Redemption is book 2, I think it could stand alone, but why stop here? Kate Pearce writes compelling, clear voiced characters. She doesnt shy away from tough themes and situations. The characters in Rancher's Redemption have definitely been through the wringer, but are engaging and their journey to happily ever after is a riveting story. I, like other reviewers, found the ending a bit abrupt. I am hopeful that we will find out more about Adam and Lizzie in other books of the series. I appreciate a setting that serves as almost a character and secrets revealed, so Im looking forward to the rest of the story!

The Millers capture your heart and hold it within your grasp. There is life after suffering from heartbreak and the ability to feel what you lost maybe different. A moment in time can heal you and give you more than you could’ve bargained for and realize life still goes on. An excellent story that pulls you in with each word.

Kate Pearce’s second book, The Rancher’s Rebellion, in the Millers of Morgan Valley series will grab ahold of your emotions and hold tight from the onset of the story. Rife with memorable characters, intelligent dialogue, and a plot that’s quite intriguing, you’ll loose yourself over to Adam and Lizzie’s story in just a matter of a couple of pages. The Millers are truly a family who’ll capture your heart...and that your back in Morgan Valley is an added bonus.

Sweet western romance! I am now a fan of Kate Pearce. So glad I was able to read The Rancher's Redemption.

Kate pearce has a way of writing that just pulls you in from the beginning! Just make sure you have enough time to finish the book because you won't want to put it down!
I love the Morgan ranch and family! It was great to visit them again!!
Adam lost his wife. Lizzie is having problems with her ex. Of course the two would come together and sparks would fly! Adam helps out Lizzie and her son when trouble comes calling.
I highly recommend this book, and all of the others in the series! Read them in order, because they build upon the previous book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book.

Kate Pearce never fails me! I really enjoy her books and reread quite often. This is no exception. She is always on my wish list for new books. I have a notification for when she releases new titles too!

The great character and storyline development kept me totally engaged throughout the entire book! I was totally invested in this story as I turned each and every page until the very end!

The second book in The Millers of Morgan Valley series a well written story with a very good storyline the story flowed smoothly from page to page. This is widower, and rancher Adam Miller and single mom Lizzie Taylor and her son's story. There is suspense, drama, an evil ex and his family, letting go of the past, and a second chance at romance. I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing.

I had trouble warming up the the H Adam. I preferred the other stories in the series. Overall, an OK story.

This one was only okay. I liked the heroine, but didn't love the hero and felt like the grovel wasn't good enough after the big problem in the middle of the story. The kid was cute, and the problem with the grandparents was scarily real. It makes you super nervous for people who have custody issues. I haven't read any other books in this series, so I don't know how it tracks with the other books.

If you want to read a sweet romance, with thought out characters, this is the book for you! You fall in love with everyone in the book, I really enjoyed this book, and look forward to the next one!

As the second book in the series we continue to learn more of the families from Morgantown. Lizzie is a single mom trying to raise her son the best that she can without the help of his sperm donor or his family. Adam Miller hasn't allowed himself to live since his wife died about 10 years prior. Together, they find what they've each been missing in life.

A quick read, that honestly felt more of a novella than a novel. Not my favorite Kate Pearce novel, but still enjoyable.

Adam and Lizzie are both struggling with pain and lots....can they help each other heal?
A very enjoyable book with engaging characters and an interesting storyline.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. My thoughts and opinions are my own and without bias or favor.

Good book. I might have read it twice. That or it is so similar to another book. BUT, I read the full book and loved it. Adam Miller, young devastated widower who lost his wife Louisa to cancer, locks himself away working on the family ranch. Young single mom, Lizzie grew up being best friends with Louisa and Adam. She even had a crush on Adam but when her friends fell madly in love, she was happy for her friends. After Louisa’s death, Adam and Lizzie go their separate ways. Years later, on his way driving into town Adam comes across Lizzie running carrying her son in her arms to the doctor after a bee sting. The story continues. The story is heartwarming. A book in a series which is definitely can be read as a standalone. Being a series there are sub plots that relate to series and other characters in the story. Worth reading.

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

Wow, I don't think I could have been so forgiving as Lizzie toward Adam. Their story is kind of sad when her best friend, Louisa, marries her other friend, Adam. The story begins fourteen years after Louisa has died of cancer and Adam and LIzzie had a night of passion after Louisa passed away.

Lizzie has a lot going on with a crazy relative of her one night stand which causes custody issues.

Along with all the custody issues, Lizzie and Adam start seeing each other and sometimes Lizzie doesn't measure up to Adam;s standard - Louisa. Then, add to the mix, Adam's mother Leanne coming for a visit after twenty years - wow, do a lot of secrets get revealed.

Like I said, Lizzie must really love Adam to keep forgiving him for the stupid things that he does! Good thing that in the end, Adam sees what he has done and is working to change himself.

Good to see Daisy and Jackson and sure hope that Ben gets someone after seeing how he really wants a love like his brother's!

As best friends, Adam and Lizzie's story was a heartwarming emotional read. These two find themselves falling in love, but unresolved issues get in the way. Adam still carries the baggage of his wife's death, and now the return of a mother that left the family. Both of those events were years ago, but Adam has never moved on. Lizzie has always been there for him, but his issues are causing more heartbreak than she can handle. She has problems of her own that she must deal with. As others in Morgan Valley stand by them both, some truths are revealed to Adam as he finally comes to terms with his past. Lucky for him Lizzie is still there for him as they finally get their own HEA.**I was gifted "The Rancher's Redemption" by NetGalley and leave my review voluntarily based on my reading** 4.5 Stars!

The Rancher's Redemption by Kate Pearce is a heartbreaking tale. It also is about second chances at love, forgiveness, and new beginnings. One man is reeling from the lost of his wife and kid. A woman is struggling as a single mom raising her son alone. Both characters work hard and are just as stubborn. The mother won't back down and will do anything to protect her son. Her son's relations are trying to pry them away from her after so many years. Now, she's fighting back like hell. That's where the hero pops in. Both of them knew each other while growing up and now, it seems fate has put them together. Friendship and loyalty has a way of creating undeniable things. Sparks fly, feelings grow, and tensions rise high in this epic contemporary romance.

I found myself crying along with the single mother. Her anger was easy to understand and feel. A mother should not have to worry about her only child being taken away from her by people who never cared in the first place.

Overall, this novel was raw and action packed. Kate Pearce kept my undivided attention and hooked me with the first chapter. The emotional journey was just as good as the romance. I recommend this story to all contemporary fiction fans.

A story of long held issues, drama, hurt, healing, redemption and love. Life has dealt Adam a harsher hand than he anticipated. Shaped by events he could not control, he is guarded in his actions and emotions. Lizzie has left behind the ashes of her friendship with Adam. An act of compassion meant to console instead drove a wedge between them for more than a decade. Circumstances will change all that as they forge a plan born of necessity. Though certain aspects of the books were not fully fleshed, the book was a good read.
