Grace And The Rancher

This is a redemptive story filled with God’s grace and love. Both Grace and Kyle have baggage from their past filled with regret and pain. Kyle is determined to keep his promise to his dad and prove he has changed. Grace is trying to heal from her painful past and begin a new life. Can they help each other and find love at the same time? I was surprised with this book as it was novella length but it didn’t feel like one to me. Both characters were well developed; I felt like I really got to know them and could feel their pain. I had to know that things would improve for them and that they found peace. The only downfall for me was that there were times I was confused on what day it was and how long of a period had passed since the previous event. One quote I will take with me is: “Pray about it. God’s never shy about giving His help.” This is a great reminder for us, never hesitate about turning to God for help, He wants to help us. I enjoyed this read.

Grace and the Rancher is a sweet romance about love, forgiveness and trust. I like the storyline, Grace and Kyle both have pasts that have led them to this point but it is how they choose to move forward that will determine if they have a chance at happiness together.

A wonderful contemporary novel about two people hurting and trying to adjust to a new life.
I usually don't like contemporary Christian romance but for some reason this just sort of grabbed me from the beginning. I did burn some midnight oil and plus I read some of this at work.
I think it grabbed me because it's different. I snickered at some scenes and others I just wanted to bawl like a baby.
I'm thinking that the moral of the story is that you can't hide secrets or lies. You'll eventually be found out.
I'm so proud of Grace and Kyle. I don't know why but I'm so happy that they were honest with each other from the beginning and Kyle told Grace straight up.
I like that in a man. I really enjoyed their lively banter at times and hated it when certain things happen.
Jessup cracked me up. He was a lonely soul until he found Kyle and then Noah.
Nick was something else. He was,a hot mess of a man. To some people like family that think their siblings do no wrong. Sometimes you just can't tell a person something. I know from experience.
I've never faced the problems that Grace and Kyle have. Thank goodness for a loving father in heaven who can redeem us if we only ask for His help
I strongly recommend this book.
Thank you Netgalley for letting me read and review this book

A lovely Christian romance about God's loving grace and the forgiveness of one's self. The story is heartbreaking while at the same time uplifting. The author has created believable characters, who it's easy enough to very possibly see something of ourselves in. I enjoyed the premise of the story, it flowed nicely from beginning to end and was emotionally engaging.

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

This is a book of anguish, courage, and daring. This is descriptive and yet darling, the characters are damaged and yet with CHRIST they are restored. They are dependent and yet with CHRIST on HIM they depend on. They both have a kaleidoscope past with CHRIST it is white as snow. They are damaged with CHRIST they are healed. These two have gone through so much and yet they found each other - will they be able to get over their own pasts to see each other and trust that? This book is amazing and you really need to see how this book turns out. It touches you in places you didn't know a book could touch.

I liked this book was a great read,its the first i have read by this author and will be checking out more in the future if your looking for a real life clean Christian romance give this a go.

Hard to put this one down. An ex-alcoholic rancher, and a singer who was widowed and her vocal chords damaged, find each other and help each other to heal and grow stronger. The writing is full of action and fast paced, and I didn't feel overwhelmed with descriptive explanations. Sometimes it is best to show instead of telling the reader overly detailed accounts. I liked the romance, and the storyline, and the author. Great romantic read and one I highly recommend.

Book received from NetGalley.

The main reason this book got 3 stars is:

1. It's very short, I would consider it a novella, and it's a bit pricey to me for being novella length.

2. How the main female character reacted to the main male character falling off the wagon, but I'll get to that.

This is a sweet, clean, Christian romance. If you enjoy Christian romances but like the ones where it's just there and a part of their lives, and it doesn't get "preachy" this is not that book. There is a lot of he was a horrible person when he was younger, but he's now a Christian and goes to church so I know he's changed. I liked the backstory for the couple this focuses on, the author really came up with something unique for the female lead. The male not so much but it worked well with the issued in the female's life.
Mini Rant:

I almost gave this story a much lower rating, and I would have if one of the side characters hadn't called Grace on being a reactionary nitwit. Kyle is an alcoholic and fell off the wagon due to a stressful incident. He realized he screwed up, but couldn't think of another way to cope and he felt bad after. Grace overreacted and instead of showing support, calling his sponsor, then deciding if she could deal with the possibility of this happening again she refused to talk to him. I understand not wanting to deal with someone else's addiction especially if they don't want to get better, but I felt she was just compounding the issue.

End Rant:
It was a good story, but it did have some major flaws, at least for me. Thank goodness for the level-headed older female mentor in the story, she's the one who made a big twist in the story much better for me.
