Brady's family runs a ranch that helps troubled kids; Tanya's family dude ranch is next door. They've been BFFs who have ignored their romantic feelings but things are changing for them. The dude ranch isn't doing well financially and Tanya's been offered a job in the city. There's a sweet trope-y romance there but the better story for me at least is the one between Harlow and Maddox. She's a squeaky clean local who helps out at the ranch and he's been ordered there by the court in the hopes that he will clean up his act. These two both have shells that eventually crack open. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. There aren't any surprises here but it's good tale with a heart.

Thanks to Netgalley for this ARC.

This is the second book in this Turn Around Ranch series and the first that I have read by Cindi Madsen.

Hope on the Range is a classic friends to lovers tale starring Brady and Tanya. There is a secondary romance between teens Maddox and Harlow that is very PG as well. There really wasn't a lot to the plot itself but it still all worked due to the amount of relationships going on within the book.

The writing was really funny and I loved the friendship between Tanya and Brady. You could see the friendship and how much they cared. The self help book Tanya buys to try and help her get Brady to notice her gave some absolutely hilarious situations and dialogue. You could really sympathize with Tanya's plight and you were really hopeful for her! I enjoyed seeing how they came together and their journey. The secondary storyline for teens Maddox and Harlow was interesting. I don't think that I have ever read a romance novel with a clean teen secondary storyline. Given though that Brady's family runs the Turn Around Ranch for troubled kids though it did seem to work. Harlows clean language was hilarious at times but really seemed to suit the character and not be put on.

Some minor issues I found were that there were so many characters and minor relationships that I felt hard to understand and would have liked these better explained at the start. It didn't really detract from the story in any way but it did make it tricky to understand the relationships. The mistreatment of the horses was quite upsetting as well.

Overall though I thoroughly enjoyed this book, will be purchasing the first one in the series and looking forward to reading the next one!

The Netgalley book description though mentions that Tanya wants to open up a summer riding camp for city kids however there was no mention of that in the story. Tanya instead is wanting to open up a Horse Rescue Facility.

This is a standard Friends to Lovers trope with a troubled youth and good girl forbidden love subplot. The characters, including secondaries, are appealing and well drawn. All this is happening on neighboring ranches, one of which is a dude ranch for troubled teens. The ranch and rodeo setting is fun and although there is not much plot it does provide the supporting angst.
I would not suggest this as a standalone novel.

This is a sweet friends to lovers story. Tanya Greer and Brady Dawson have been friends since they were little kids. Neither one of them wanted to chance ruining such a wonderful friendship. It took quite a leap of faith to believe they could be more than just friends. I enjoyed the journey to their Happily Ever After.

Hope on the Range is a cute best friends to more read. I loved this one. Tanya and Brady have this incredible friendship and I love how they try and fight everything between them. They will make you giggle with their banter and they will pull at your heart too. Tanya has such a big heart and you feel for her when it comes to the power struggle she goes through. Brady is amazing with the troubled teens. You also get the teenage couple of Maddox and Harlow that you will just love. Your heart goes out to Maddox as his past comes out. Harlow is amazing with Maddox and getting him to open more. I love how the Turn About Ranch takes a chance on the teens when they need it the most. Brady and Tanya will suck you in with their love and friendship. I could not get enough of this one. I cannot wait for more Turn About Ranch to come.

This is a book I can not put down. It just reaches up and grab you. Brandy and Tanya have been best friends their whole life. Then they start having a relationship it goes to loving one another. Oh course they have problems and have to work them out to find true love.

A sweet and entertaining second book in the Turn Around Ranch series, but can be read as a standalone.
I quite like friends to lovers stories so I was eager to read this, plus I really enjoy Cindi's writing, I like her characters and who she develops them, I like the banter and funny moments, and of course the romance.
We also get to meet other characters and reading from their perspectives to me added richness to the story, of course we can't forget our main characters, Brady and Tanya, of whom I loved their chemistry and yes, Brady is defnitely book boyfriend material.
Would recommend!

I used to be a massive fan of Cindi Madsen. While I have enjoyed their other novels. I was let down by this one. I am a sucker for cowboy/Southern set books, so this was something that obviously drew me in. Things moved too quickly for enjoyment here and I don't think we were afforded the luxury of the two leads truly showing that they loved and cared for each other.

This series is quickly becoming a go-to for warmth and comfort. Big hearted cowboys who work to give trouble teens a second chance? A family that loves and supports each other regardless of whether or not they are related by blood? How could I possibly resist? And that was before a three legged goat got added to the mix.

This book focuses on two couples. Brady and Tanya have been best friends forever and now are faced with wanting with more. and Harlow and Maddox have to work together to compete in a local rodeo when they could not be more different- she is the ultimate good girl and he is at the ranch because he got in trouble with the law. With two couples to keep up with and a lot going on, it would be easy for the plot to feel rushed but it never does. Both storylines are given their due and we still get to see the members of Brady's family who I am always happy to spend time with. Book three in this series cannot come soon enough for me.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review,

This was a really cute book. I loved how the author sprinkled in the other characters from the first book so that we still get to see where they are in their journey together. This was an easy read about two best friend who finally saw what everyone else notice between them. You have Brady who works on his family ranch and helps with troubled teens through a program his family created. You also have Tanya who came home from school early to help her parents run their ranch. She put her purpose and dreams on the back burner so that she could help out and found herself stuck. In this story one of them in the beginning tried to fight it but it the end the love between them was easy but they also had some turbulence.

Sweet and touching Hope on the Range is a wonderful and heartwarming read.

Brady and Tanya have been best friends their whole lives. Brady works for his family’s ranch for troubled teens, while Tanya's heart is dedicated to helping mistreated horses and other strays. But what will happen when their passions and goals pull them apart?

Harlow is in a bind, she just lost her roping partner after training for the local rodeo for the past year. When Brady asks for her help with training the at-risk-kids, she finds an unlikely new partner in the new court ordered arrival to the problem, Maddox. Will she be able to help him turn his life around and break down his walls?

I loved the unique quad POV in this book, and the two interwoven couples stories, making it feel more rounded and full. With a lot of heart, an extra helping of care and a serious amount of love, this book will get you in the feels.

5 stars and a Stetson

Readers who are looking for a simple, sweet romance will enjoy this friends to lovers story. The setting and characters were charming, but on the whole it lacked tension and sizzle.

I’m a fan of Cindi’s book. This one was a good one. Any book of her is a must read. I have to go and get her books.

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
This was a nice read and a bonus as you get the story of Brady and Tanya but also Maddox and Harlow, a very young relationship.
Following up with Harlow and Maddox in a few years will be interesting. Nice for a summer read!

This is a thoroughly enjoyable friends to lovers romance. Brady works for his family’s ranch for troubled teens. He has been best friends with the girl next door, Tanya. Everyone assumes that there is more to they relationship, but both deny it. At the onset of this book, both of them are starting to see each other in a different light, but Tanya is the one to try to see if they can be something else. There is also a sweet romance between one of the troubled teens and a local good girl. I received an advanced reader copy of this book from Netgalley for my honest review.

Hope on the Range is a wonderful story about friend and building that friendship into love. You'll see two sides of the western side of life. Dude ranch and a ranch for troubled teens. The characters will entertain you with their lifes and loves.

Usually a friends to lovers plot is not something I enjoy but this was an exception. While there was nothing super new or original about this book, I really loved the characters and their chemistry. I thought the story was paced really well and I had a great time watching Brady and Tanya's relationship develop throughout this book.

Brady Dawson and Tanya Greer have been best friends forever, growing up on neighbouring farms they have bickered, goaded, and taunted each other since they were small. Everyone else gives them grief about coming clean about being a couple, but they know they are just friends. Well, except that Tanya has felt differently the last six months and has bought a book about flirting online to try to get Brady's notice. Brady may have had some thoughts in that direction once or twice, their prom being a case in point, but Tanya shot him down so he put her in the friend zone, but recently she's been acting a bit odd, is she flirting?

Brady and his family (including some adopted brothers) run a farm which helps kids that have got into trouble with the law. Swapping healthy outdoor living for drink, drugs and crime. Tanya's family run a dude ranch on their farm.

There was nothing wrong with this book, but also there was no tension to really engage me, there was more romance (although U rated) between one of the bad boys at the Dawson ranch and one of the good-two-shoes locals who helps out on the farm than there was between Brady and Tanya. I just didn't feel any spark between them, they were both too nice.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Hope on the Range is a new series amd it’s off to a great beginning. Brady and Tanya have been best friends for years. But now their relationship has changed. Can it survive the changes? This is an age old plot, but somehow it never gets old. I liked the completion between them because it fleshed out their spirit. I liked Brady’s reaction to Tanya’s changes. However, the ending was the best with both sayings mushy sigh worthy things that one hopes to find in a cowboy romamce. So ‘cowboy up’ and ride into this romance.

hank you to Net Galley for giving me this book.


Pros:
-So I loved the cover and thought it was perfect for the book, It was like a perfect hug.
- The book was really well written and just a fun book

Cons:
- I enjoy these type of books, BUT it's nothing special, these type of books are very common.. Small town girl goes to city.. something happens and they return to the sweet little town.. And if it doesn't have something the shocks me or make me go wow.. I can't recommend this book to my friends!
