Stand-In Rancher Daddy was a super cute read and I really enjoyed reading it! Love Inspired Historical romances have always been hit-or-miss for me, so I wasn't sure if I would like this one when I started it...but, I'm so glad to say that it was wonderful and held my interest throughout.

I liked the characters and felt for the heroine. I mean, she wanted a relationship with the hero but because of something she learned about herself she doesn't want to "burden" him with a marriage to her. I loved seeing their relationship progress and I was wondering how things would turn out in the end.

All in all, Stand-In Rancher Daddy was an enjoyable read. I recommend it if you enjoy historical romances.

*I received a complimentary eBook copy of this book via NetGalley for my honest review. As always, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.*

4 out of 5 stars! About 5 years ago, Molly met CJ (Cornelius) and was instantly smitten; however, because she wasn’t sure he returned her affections so she married someone else. Now over a year after her husband passed away, she is back living on her family’s ranch and trying to make the best of things. Molly’s days are consumed by taking care of CJ’s young nieces who are without a mother. Though things get a lot harder when CJ’s brother (and father to the girls) decides on leaving custody of the girls to CJ and takes off to places unknown. In doing so, Molly and CJ become closer and their once chance on love might be able to ignite again … if only Molly could get over her past hurts and open her heart to the possibility of a better future, and if people in town don’t keep them apart for good.

This was a heartwarming tale that reels you in to its characters and its town/series. With an intriguing plotline that holds plenty of character antics, it’ll keep you entertained the whole way through. My only wish was that the plotline that talked about Molly’s secret was laid out a bit better. While I LOVED the ending, I wish I didn’t have to get upset with Molly’s slightly wishy-washy behavior along the way.

Nevertheless, I found CJ to be charming and kind, a man who could certainly tame Molly’s stubbornness if he could just listen to his heart more. I believe Molly and CJ were made for one another. They were a perfect pair that smoothed out each other’s rough edges. A sweet couple for sure.

I recommend this novel to those looking for a historical Christian romance.
