This book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher and the author. This is a well-known and popular author who has written another story that is captivating. The characters are realistic. The novel moves quickly. Enjoy

This is book four of the Riverbend Romance series. Recommend reading the first three books of this intriguing, captivating series.

Upon the death of her mother, Charlotte Simpson, along with her stepsister, Emerson, inherit Wildflower Falls, the ranch that has been in the Simpson family for three generations. Emmie is more interested in her job at the local bakery than working on the ranch. Charlotte’s plans are to increase business by expanding services and building a big, new barn. Having never had a ranch employee before, Charlette need help to keep the ranch going and to help with potential new business. She hires Gunner Dawson, horse trainer, who comes with high praises. He arrives on a motorcycle withal his possessions in one duffle bag and agrees to stay six months.
Charlotte grew up only with her mother, never knowing who her biological father is. Although she questioned her mother multiple times, she would never give her any information. After the death of her mother, she finds some newspaper articles, a photo and a few other items that lead to a conclusion just who her father could be. She investigates further though she risks jeopardizing friendships and even creating dissention amount a beloved family.

This heartfelt story is another example of how Denise writes stories that somehow turns ashes into gold and grab your heart from the beginning. There are unexpected situations, and some surprises as I continued reading this beautifully written story straight through until the end.

I received this copy of Wildflower Falls from NetGalley. Wildflower Falls is the 4th book in the Riverbend Romance series. Charlotte just inherited the ranch she grew up on. Her mom has passed and Charlotte is try to make the ranch into a horse training and boarding ranch Alain with her sister Emerson. Charlotte has recently discovered that her biological father is Gavin and Cooper Robinson’s father. They do not know about Charlotte. For the ranch to expand she has hired Gavin to build a new stable. While she is snooping out Gavin working on the new stable, Gunner rides up on his motorcycle for a job interview. Gunner has everything he owns on the motorcycle. He drifts from one job to the next. He will only be in Riverbend until October. Charlotte hires him as the ranches new trainer. The ranch starts to expand, and the sparks fly between Charlotte and Gunner. How will Charlotte tell her brothers about her? Will she meet her biological father? Will Gunner stay? Read this book to find out. I loved this one from start to epilogue. It was another great read by Denise Hunter.

I was thrilled when Denise Hunter returned to Riverbend. The continuation of the series was flawless. Charlotte and Gunner were endearing and realistic. I read this in one tear filled day because I couldn't put it down. You will still enjoy the book if you're new to Riverbend, but you should try the whole series.

Here I thought Denise Hunter’s Riverbend Romance series was all wrapped up after the 3 books featuring each of the siblings, only to find out there’s fourth book about a fourth sibling!! There’s a different kind of tension in this book, since the fourth sibling isn’t known to the others. How does she get to know them, and when does she tell them how she’s related to them? Hunter handles the tension well, although it does cause the book to be a bit more “angsty” than the others. I’m glad there’s more to read about Riverbend Gap, plus updates on the characters from the first 3 books. And if you’re a horse lover, there’s lots of horses in this one!

I think this is the last one of the series. They're all standalone romances, but you'll get more out of the stories since the characters appear several times throughout the series.
It was great catching up with the other characters and families and see what they were all up to.

Charlotte an Gunner are perfect for each other: she has a horse ranch and he's the horse trainer. She hires him to get the training program going, and he's only supposed to stay for 6 months, but when Charlotte confides in him, their friendship starts growing.

Both Charlotte and Gunner have a lot going on, and despite knowing his stay is temporary, they start falling for each other. He's there for her and she's there for him as well.

The theme of family, friendship, and loyalty is big, just like in the other stories. A lovely read!

I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

Wildflower Falls is another excellent book in the Riverbend series by Denise Hunter. This book will pull you in from the first page and you'll once again be visiting the Robinson family. With her mother's recent death, Charlotte discovers she may have a family she didn't know about. As always, Ms. Hunter has packed this book with family drama, secrets, and new beginnings. I loved the small-town feel of family and friends helping each other. Thanks to the author Denise Hunter, publisher Thomas Nelson, and NetGalley. I received a complimentary copy of this ebook. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Denise Hunter does it again! She is unstoppable and writing some of the best, most heartfelt romance on the market these days. Her romances are sweet, tangible, unputdownable, and full of substance. She is original, meaning each of her stories is different (no formulaic patterns here), yet all are good. This book will satisfy any romance reader, and I feel that this one is my new favorite! Ten Stars!

Another win for Denise Hunter and Riverbend Gap! Gunner and Charlotte, two hurting souls, connect over their love of horses and their need for closure in their lives. Will that be enough for a lifetime together? You'll have to see if/how they can overcome their grief and move on together. Recommended.

Back to a small town and a surprise finding.
I enjoyed this story a lot.
The reality is how to handle certain situations where there feels like it is a no win situation. The damage and demons from our childhood that take years to heal from and still may trigger us our entire lives.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. My opinions are my own.

Wildflower Falls is the fourth book in the Riverbend Romance Series. It is about Charlotte, a horse ranch owner, whose mother recently died and left the ranch to her and her sister. She is in need of help and is thankful when a top-notch horse trainer, Gunner accepts a job there. In addition to the stress of running the ranch Charlotte has also recently found out that the Robinson brothers are her biological siblings and is trying to figure out how to tell them in addition to trying to discover who their father is. Gunner, of course, aids her on this quest. Sparks quickly fly but will Gunner, who is constantly on the move to new places, stick around to start a life with Charlotte? It is a romance of course so I'm sure you can figure that out but the journey to get to the happily ever after is definitely worth the read.
I found both main characters to be lovely and great to read about and loved how their romance developed overt he course of the book. I also loved getting to join up with the Robinson clan again and spend some time with those characters. This is a lovely. light read.

Wildflower Falls is book four in the Riverbend Series by Denise Hunter. This book can be read as a stand-alone, but I highly recommend reading the entire series, you will fall in love with each person in this little town.

Charlotte Honeycutt and her half-sister, Emmerson inherited the Stillwater Ranch in Riverbend Gap when their mother passed away. She left them the ranch and an envelope full of secrets. Charlotte grew up on and loved the ranch and worked hard to do everything she could to keep it in the family. Emmerson wanted out, she wanted to sell the ranch and become a baker, which caused much tension between the sisters.

While going through their mom’s personal belongings, Charlotte found pictures of her half-brothers that she did not know she had, which led her on a search to find her biological father. Her brothers were very well known and successful men that lived in Riverbend and had been raised by their mom and stepfather. Charlotte wanted to find her father before letting her brothers know that she was their sister.

Gunner Dawson, a horse trainer, was hired temporarily at the Stillwater Ranch to help Charlotte get a training program with the horses started. He vowed to not get involved with Charlotte, his boss, but it was hard while spending so much time with her at work and helping her with her search for her father. He had to keep reminding himself that he was only working on the ranch for a short time and would be leaving to pursue his dream job in another town.

Will Gunner and Charlotte fall in love? Will she find her father and tell her half-brothers who she is? How will her sister feel about Charlotte looking for her father and finding out that Charlotte has brothers, will she feel left out? Read Wildflower Falls and you will not be disappointed.

Denise Hunter is one of the best story tellers. I get so wrapped up in her stories that I want to meet the characters and I don’t want to put the book down until it is finished. Her books are always clean and inspirational. She also includes discussion questions for book clubs.

I thank NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for allowing me to read and review this book.

I adored Denise Hunter's Wildflower Falls. I thought it was a fabulous addition to the Riverbend series. I am giving it five stars.

So good to be back in Wildflower Falls and with the Robinson Family. This story centers around Charlotte, who isn't a member of the Robinson family. She runs the local stable and hires on Gunner to work on training the horses. These two characters are really enjoyable as they go throughout the story. As a reader, one of my favorite parts of the Robinsons is their closeness as a family, it makes me long for that!



Thanks so much to netgalley and the publisher for the arc. The opinions are my own.

Another great read from Denise Hunter! Denise Hunter is my go to author for a feel good relaxing book and Wildflower Falls is no exception. I enjoyed how this one tied back into her last series. The plot is predictable but the characters and romance are sweet. Wildflower Falls is my favorite out of the Riverbend series!

I received an e copy of this book in exchange for my review. All opinions are my own. Thanks to Netgalley and Thomas Nelson.

I really enjoyed all of the family drama going on in this book. Both Gunner and Charlotte have had family issues in their past, but don't a lot of people? Seeing Charlotte working to get her horse ranch going and all the work she put into it was great. Her sister also plays an important part in the ranch, but uses her own strengths for this. What a great trip back to Riverbend Gap and all the people there!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This is the first book I read from Denise Hunter. I did not know this was book 4 in a series and although you could perfectly read it as a stand-alone, I think reading the whole series will give you a bit more insight.

Charlotte and her sister Emmie inherit a horse farm after their mother passed away. Charlotte is very invested in the horse farm. Her hard work to keep the farm is admirable. Charlotte hires Gunner (a horse trainer ) on a temporary basis to get the training program up and running.
Charlotte had found out some family secrets and is on a journey to find out who her biological father is (and more, but no spoiler alert here).
When Gunner gets involved a friendship grows. Will Charlotte find the answers she is looking for? Will she and Gunner be together? These questions will get you stuck to the pages! It's so easy to relate to Charlotte and I love her development throughout the story. Gunner is incredible and after you learn about his childhood trauma, you can do nothing else than feel for him and hope with every word you read that they will end up together.

This was a beautiful read where all kinds of emotions will flow through you. I'm a big horse lover and adore small-town romance stories, so I will definitely read the rest of the series.

I love everything about every book I've read by Denise Hunter. What a gifted storyteller! She makes her characters come to life, and her settings are as vivid as a movie in my head.

WILDFLOWER FALLS is the fourth novel in the Riverbend Gap series by DENISE HUNTER. I have read and enjoyed all the books in the series so far, but this one is my favourite, largely because of the horses and the whole country scene, the subtle Christian message and the author’s descriptions of the characters’ emotions. It is a story based largely on family dynamics, which I found very interesting. There is also an exciting romance …
I highly recommend Wildflower Falls as a most enjoyable and inspirational read.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
This is the fourth book in the Riverbend series. Please read them in order for a more enjoyable experience.
Hunter has done it again!, great book I am happy to recommend.
Hunter is a wonderful storyteller. I love the characters in this series, her books are always clean and inspiring.
There are also book discussion questions included if you want to use it for book clubs.
5 stars

I was lucky enough to have had the chance to read and review the previous titles in this series and I’m so glad because I just loved the entire series.

Wildflower Falls is book 4 in the Riverbend Series by Denise Hunter.
I was so happy to be back in Riverbend Gap with Charlotte and Gunner.

What a fun, sweet, wonderfully crafted story!
I love the small-town setting. Avery and Wes were intensely relatable characters, an excellent romantic tension between out characters and their story was wonderfully crafted. Extremely likable and believable, I couldn't help but also fall in love with them both. Dealing with personal issues of their own and finding each other was so freaking sweet.
Talk about a swoony romance, and powerful emotions this book had it!
Denise brings us the fourth book in a beautiful series set in the small town of Riverbend Gap.
A sweet and thoughtful contemporary read that has an emotional rich story.

Looking for a series that’s worth reading? Pick up this series from the beginning. Riverbend Gap, Mulberry Hollow and Harvest Moon are all great stories.

Thank You NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

What a wonderful story with so many emotions. There is frustration when Charlotte is caught between a rock and a hard place, trying to find her biological father and family, staying true to herself, trying not to hurt anyone but ending up hurting everyone in the process. There is the love of family, support when Charlotte needs it the most, and forgiveness. This is a heartwarming story well worth reading. It is the fourth book in Denise Hunter’s Riverbend Gap series. Wildflower Falls can be read as a stand alone but I recommend the entire series.

Denise Hunter surprised us with a fourth edition for the Riverbend Romance series. This wraps up the story of the Robinson siblings, only to find a fourth one.

When Charlotte Simpson's mother passed away, she and her step-sister inherit the horse ranch her mother ran. Charlotte's mother would never reveal who Charlotte's biological father was. But it was Charlotte's deepest desire to know who he was.

Gunner Dawson takes the temporary job as the horse trainer. He travels from one job to another. Never letting the grass grow under his feet. But when he meets Charlotte, he somehow lets his feelings get in the way when sparks start to fly.

This is a stand alone story, but it does touch on the other stories along the way. There are so many emotions going on. Charlotte is trying to not hurt anyone, but it is hard not to hurt everyone. Family, compassion, forgiveness, and a romance round out this tale. As always Denise Hunter is a master at writing well rounded characters. Her stories never disappoint.

I’m so glad Denise Hunter wrote this fourth book in the Riverbend series. While it could be read as a stand alone, the first three books are also excellent and give a full picture of the Robinson family. This book is emotional and deals with such issues as family, decisions and their consequences, loss, acceptance, and most of all, love. It’s an entertaining story with delightful characters, it’s heartwarming, and a great read. I’m hoping Ms. Hunter will decide to write Emerson’s story because I’d really like to be able to ”visit” all of the Robinsons again! I highly recommend this compelling read!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

From the very first line, "Charlotte Simpson had never stalked a man before.", to the heartwarming epilogue, Denise Hunter is at the top of her romance writing game. I will automatically read anything that has her name on it, such is my confidence in her ability to charm and entertain through a well written story.

Wildflower Falls is full of wonderful characters in a setting that begs a visit. It was a delight to return to Riverbend Gap to spend time with the Robinson family we know and love. The choices Charlotte and Gunner make will determine their future and I enjoyed my ringside seat as they worked towards their happy ever after.

I'm so looking forward to the next Denise Hunter book! Wherever she takes me, I'm all in! I appreciate Thomas Nelson making a copy of Wildflower Falls available for review. All thoughts and opinions are my very own.

Wildflower Falls is the 4th book in the Riverbend Gap series but it can stand alone. This is such a heartfelt and emotional novel about family. I loved Charlotte and Gunners story. They have felt major losses in their lives making them easy to sympathize with and hope for the happiness they certainly deserve. The theme of surviving various trauma is woven through the book as we learn the backstory of several characters. Denise Hunter wrapped her story up with a satisfactory bow of an epilogue. I loved it. Recommended to fans of the series and the author.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

What a sweet story full of restoration and second chances and redemption. If you love horses, love a good love story in which love is fought for this one's for you! Also full of family healing and forgiveness and mystery.

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.

Wow this book is filled with loss, finding family and relationships. You will go on a journey with Charlotte and the Robinsons and also Charlotte and Gunner.

An easy but emotional read and one that will make you feel blessed for the relationships you have in your life.

Definitely will be recommending this series.

I've come to rely on Denise Hunter for enjoyable clean romance, and I was thrilled to receive the e-galley for WILDFLOWER FALLS.

The Appalachian small town setting is rendered beautifully, and the horse farm is cinematic as well. Right away we sympathize with Charlotte's struggles to keep the farm going and make additional money. I also appreciated Charlotte's disagreements with Emerson, which seemed realistic.

Gunner is a great character, and it's fun to see how Charlotte and Gunner develop a relationship. Gunner's backstory felt a little flimsy/cardboard, but overall his actions were believable.

At times - I believe around the 30/40% mark - the pacing drags a bit. I think this novel could've been tightened, making a shorter better-paced book.

However, these minor comments did not detract from enjoyment of the book. Denise Hunter continues to be a top favorite in this genre.

Received complimentary e-galley in exchange for review; all opinions are my own.

The fourth and final installment in the Riverbend Romance series, Wildflower Falls is a delight. The story follows Charlotte as she works to revitalize the horse farm her mother left her while also dealing with a surprising discovery about the father she never knew. Gunner is a nomad horse trainer who commits to six months of helping Charlotte, only to discover he fits in Riverbend and with Charlotte more than any other place he's ever drifted through.

Wildflower Falls is a book about family more than anything else. The characters explore what it means to be a family, because that looks different for different people, and how significant and impactful the love and loyalty of family can be. It's truly heart-warming to watch Charlotte wade bravely into some messy family drama and do her best to navigate it so as not to hurt anyone. She doesn't do it perfectly, but it's touching to see the grace and forgiveness extended by her siblings in a tough circumstance.

Charlotte and Gunner's romance was just right. There was the perfect amount of chemistry and push/pull as they tried to figure out what they each wanted and needed. It has a sweet ending that I really enjoyed.

Even though Wildflower Falls is part of a series, it works just fine as a standalone. You'll enjoy seeing some repeat characters if you've read the other books, but you won't be confused if you start here. I love Denise Hunter and am happy that this most recent release of hers was as good as I've come to expect.

This is the 4th book of the Riverbend Romances and each one is better than the last. If you haven’t read them, you need to. This story focuses on Charlotte, who after the loss of her mother finds out a secret about her life. Will it bring new family into her life or will she lose the only family she’s ever known? Add to the mix, a new handsome stranger Gunner who comes to work for her and you’ve got the makings of a great story.
I started it yesterday afternoon and only put it down to sleep, then work. It kept me entertained til I had to find out what happens.

Set in the Appalachian Mountains near Asheville, NC, Wildflower Falls by Denise Hunter nabbed my attention from the start. Then, being a fan of the series Heartland, I could easily fall in love with the plot. Add in scarred characters, secrets from the past, reliance on God, and a little romance (okay a lot), Denise Hunter has hit it out of the ballpark!! Loved this book.

A copy was provided in exchange for my review but all opinions are my own.

Denise Hunter all delivers a great read. Wildflower Fall is a well written romance. The plot,and characters are well developed. I definitely recommend this book. I received an advance ebook from Netgalley. This is my unbiased review.

Wildflower Falls was a refreshing read. I loved the setting, the characters had great personalities, and the ending was excellent. Definitely a book I recommend.

Wildflower Falls is all about Charlotte and Gunner's story plus we still see quite a bit of the Robinson gang that we've come to know and love in the previous books in this series. It's all about family...which isn't always easy but family is such a blessing. Charlotte meets Gunner when he comes to work on her horse farm set in idyllic Riverbend Gap, North Carolina. They have both had issues with their pasts that they need to work through. It's definitely a journey but a good one at that!

I heartily recommend Wildflower Falls. It is a clean, Christian romance that will pull you right in and you won't want to leave! You really can't go wrong with a book by Denise Hunter. I've absolutely loved this whole Riverbend series.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review. All opinions are my own.

Publication date: 12 September 2023.

Wildflower Falls (Riverbend Book #4) by Denise Hunter is another great addition to this series!! Highly addictive and recommended. I loved reading this book. Author Denise Hunter knows how to tell a story that keeps your interest throughout the whole book.
Charolette is trying to keep her family ranch and trying to start a new business at the same time and also figure out who her real father is while getting to know her brothers without seeming like a stalker. Gunner is there to help her get started in her new business of training horses, doing trail rides, and teaching ridding lessons as a stepping stone to a bigger job with race horses in Kentucky. Their feelings slowly change towards each other but they have a difficult time that they must navigate to their HEA.

A beautiful, heartwarming story about healing, restoration, and family. Denise Hunter expertly weaves the story together to not only make you feel every emotion the characters experience, but also to make you feel as if you are a part of the story by losing yourself within the pages. I found myself laughing, crying, and even angry at different parts throughout the story. It is filled with lovable, enduring characters that make you want to know more about them.

While this book could be read as a stand alone, it is book four of the series. I highly recommend reading all the books. I absolutely love the Robinson family and this has quickly become one of my favorite series!

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are completely my own.

I thoroughly enjoyed this!! Can I just say how much I loved how they met? It was hilarious!!The sister relationship melted my heart and found family is one of my favorite tropes! I liked all the characters and the lessons they learned and how they grew.
There was a scene at the end with Gavin that I was hoping would happen and it did and it made my day!!

I received an eARC from Netgalley, all opinions are my own

My thoughts: WIldflower Falls is the 4th book in this series, but it easily stan ds alone. I enjoyed getting to know Charlotte and Gunner and their struggles and history. The black moment was fairly obvious, I saw it coming a mile away, but it had a satisfactory ending. There isn't much of a faith message in this, (if there was one, I missed it) but it was definitely a clean read. Fans of Denise Hunter will devour this book and be anxious for more in this quaint little town on the Appalachian Trail. I love Denise Hunter's books, she is one of my favorite authors so if you like romance you will want to read this book and this series. I was given a copy free and all opinions are my owns.

After reading and falling in love with the characters of the first three Riverbend Gap series, I was thrilled when Denise Hunter wrote and continued the series with this fourth book. Each book in the series is a stand alone, but they each touch on the other stories/relationships along the way — I highly recommend reading them in order. In this book, the author introduces us to a new sibling of the beloved Robinson family. It’s a sweet story, of forgiveness, restoration, second chances, and of course romance. While I love Denise Hunter and will read anything she writes and absolutely love this series, this one could’ve used more character development; it felt a bit rushed and wrapped up too quickly. Overall I enjoyed it and look forward to reading Hunter’s next book.

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for this advance copy read. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

If you’re ever wanting to reach for a contemporary romance, Denise Hunter never disappoints. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every book in this series. I love how she’s not afraid to delve into tough and emotional and awkward moments. In this story, the main character, Charlotte, has a lot going on and I felt like everything was delt with in a true and realistic way, especially her relationship with her sister and how that played out—very well done. The story never got stagnant and never lagged in the middle. I loved the ranch and the horses and how Gunner came into the story—he was a wonderful leading man. His story pulled at my heartstrings. All of it came together wonderfully.

It would be important to read the prior three books in the series before reading this one. All of them are worth it!

*I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Denise Hunter never disappoints! 'Wildflower Falls' is a heartwarming story of love and overcoming loss. The depth of the characters is profound as they reveal their struggles that seem overwhelming and find loving solutions in each other. I'm looking forward to more, especially with Charlotte's sister.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Wildflower Falls by Denise Hunter. I really liked the story of Gunner and Charlotte. The story has mystery, kindness, love, and compassion . I love stories about horses. I liked Charlotte search for her father.

I was so excited to see a new book in this series, all so good you never wanted them to end, and then there is this one! Now this can be read alone, but you will want to read how the other siblings got together!

This is Charlotte Simpson's story, reeling from the loss of her Mom, and finding some surprising information, something she had asked about but never received any answers.

Charlotte is trying to keep the generational Horse Ranch afloat, she found her Mom had taken a second loan, and has hired a new trainer, Gunner Dawson, he has told her he can only stay a few months, but she has gotten raving reviews about him.

There is an instant attraction between these two, but she has been hurt and he has past losses that make him flee from caring!

I loved being reunited with this family, and the updates, but this is a twist on siblings and it was such a great read! You will be page turning for answers!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Thomas Nelson, and was not required to give a positive review.

The way Denise Hunter weaves a story draws me in, which made Wildflower Falls a delightful read. The hero and heroine, Charlotte & Gunner, are such wounded, yet lovable, characters. They both have unmistakable strengths and traumatic weaknesses. Their deep backgrounds not only build a great story, but create a powerful ending. This masterpiece is a must-read page-turning romance. Grab your copy today!

I level this sweet story about finding new family members and chasing your dreams while finding love!! Cant wait to read her sisters story (hoping one is coming)!

Do you enjoy heartwarming, small-town romance stories?

Denise Hunter impresses once more in her romance novel, “Wildflower Falls.”

Hunter opens this stand-alone romance with Charlotte Simpson learning to run the horse farm, organizing the building of a boarding barn, and hiring a horse trainer after her other’s passing. As if this wasn’t enough to deal with, she discovered a secret that her mother had been hiding. Sharing the secret has two possible outcomes: 1) she could receive the emotional support that she’s been needing or 2) she could rip apart a family and cause trouble in Riverbend Gap. Hiring Gunner Dawson proves to be both a godsend and a source of frustration. Can he help Charlotte get the farm back in running order? Can he give her the emotional support she needs?

I loved the sibling tension, the slow-burning sweet romance, and solving the mystery. Hunter’s exploration of redemption, forgiveness, and family is wonderful.

My reaction to this book surprised me as I’m not a romance reader. I binge-read this one afternoon on the deck (binge reading - not something I expected to do with this genre) and wiped away a tear or two…This book came to me at just the right time, it deeply affected me and I’m prompted to search out this author’s backlist.

One of the best romance novels I’ve read.

If you love horses, sweet romance, small-town stories and sibling rivalry, this is one you’ll want to pop in your beach bag!

I was gifted this copy by Thomas Nelson and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.

Oh, how I love returning to Riverbend Gap!! Denise Hunter knows how to create a small town with a cast that draws you in for more. Wildflower Falls is the fourth in this series and I adored it!

Charlotte is trying to ensure her family ranch stays afloat. She’s not looking for drama, in fact, she’s looking for her biological family. I won’t say much there because there’s a lot to be discovered and experienced in your own as Charlotte makes her discoveries. However, the Robertson clan shows up in full force. Then there’s Gunner. HooWee! There’s some chemistry between the lone ranger and the boss lady. Gunner works his magic on the ranch and the horses and Charlotte works her magic on Gunner. I love how they compliment each other and commit to serving the needs of the ranch and the community. I genuinely loved how Charlotte navigated a truly tough situation and Gunner stepped in to help. The Robertson clan will win you over as well!
Enjoy your trip to Riverbend Gap, even if it’s your first time reading a book in the series, you can jump right in.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

I have long been a fan of Denise Hunter and I truly enjoyed this book as well. In fact, when I found out that this book was part of a larger series, I went back and found all of the earlier books and got caught up in the storyline so that I could fully enter into the world of these characters. As always, Denise Hunter delivers a story that is well worth reading and provides wholesome clean romance you can truly feel good about!

I am a fan of Denise Hunter and this book is a perfect example of why. She writes with so much emotion that I am immediately drawn into the story. Her characters are fully formed people with good qualities as well as flaws. Her plots keep me interested and I want to immerse myself in the story and not return to the real world until after the last page.

This book is the fourth in the Riverbend series. I have read the other 3 books and recommend that you read this entire series because it is so enjoyable, but I do believe that you could read each book independently. Characters from previously books appear in this one, but background is given so a new reader is not confused.

This book is a Christian based romance, while it is not over the top, but a constant presence, where the characters talk to God and ask for guidance and strength. I believe this also comes through in the plot where the characters have disagreements, or differences in how they want to live, but these situations are handled in a mature loving way. I wish the real world was like that.

I am definitely a person that is drawn to a book by its cover. I adore the book covers for this series. They are so beautiful and give the mood of the story.

Wildflower Falls is an excellent continuation of the Riverbend series. This book focuses on Charlotte, who is trying to expand and save her family’s ranch and Gunner, who has been roaming from place to place for years, not settling in one area for very long. It is about home and family, whether it is your blood family or the one that you make for yourself.


I recommend this book and the entire series. Honestly, I have enjoyed all of Denise Hunter’s books that I have read. I am so happy that I found her at a book convention a few years go. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson – Fiction and NetGalley.
