This is a clean Christian romance. I would have liked to have known that before I started reading, and for it to have been a little clearer within the book itself that this is the second in a series (I spent the entire book waiting to find out what happened to the little girl's parents, only to discover by the marketing at the end that this was the subject of the first book.)Basically, the story is of a rancher and a schoolteacher who act like they don't like each other but secretly do. Slowly they come together, start dating, and get engaged. The story could use more conflict, so that it reads less like this happened, then this happened, and then this other thing happened--all happy and light and positive, but lacking in intrigue. Nothing major was keeping them apart until the mean mother popped up at the end, which could have added more conflict had she shown up a lot sooner. Also, the characters often blended into each other, with the manly ranchers taking long, hot baths, laughing until tears rolled down their cheeks, gushing, etc.That said, as a clean Christian romance the novel reads well enough, and is entertaining, as long as you are aware of the genre.
I loved the first book in this series and couldn't wait to read the second one. This is about not only a relationship between two people, but about how words hurt and affect how people think of themselves.Lindsey is Trent's niece's school teacher. When his brother and new sister-in-law go away on a late honeymoon, Trent and his brother take care of Cass. Trent has always loved Linsey from afar but felt she was to good for him. Lindsey on the other hand was hurt because she had heard about the handsome cowboy, and felt she felt she wasn't pretty enough for him to ask her out. Lindsey's mom had told her she was to tall, not soft and feminine enough for guys to love. Because her mom had told her this so many times, she believes Trent won't ask her out because of being so tall, and decides to DISLIKE him. Now Trent is 6'5" and Lindsey is 6' tall.While Trent is watching his niece, Cass, he has to take her to school. He has to see Lindsey everyday. Lindsey sees Trent differently and has to except Trent isn't what she thought. Trent finally stops teasing Lindsey. They both realize they both are wrong about what they thought of each other. Trent helps Lindsey to see she is BEAUTIFUL just the way God made her. I enjoyed and laughed watching their relationship grow into LOVE.If you love a good clean, western, romance, and love to laugh, this is the series for you.
Ah.... sigh... a nice, spunky, sweet romance. Clean all the way. No hissy fits or impervious divas here. No soap opera here.If you like that kind of story, you'll love this book!Now for the tiny nitpicker in me....If you have three brothers in a story, and all are main characters, don't give them similar names! Trey, Trent, and Travis... until the halfway point in the book, I found it hard to tell them apart. I even mistook Travis for Trent until I finally determined that Trent was the main love interest.Even two female characters, Cady and Cass, mother and child daughter, have similar names... groan.One more point was the characterization given to the main female love interest's mother, who disapproves of the romantic relationship. Indeed, there are women like her, disdainful and haughty. But more often than not, they hide it well, and are sweetly agreeable in public. This mother came off as too unbelievably rude in front of company. I would make it more subtle, and save her brittle nerves for her discussions with her adult daughter.Other than that, great book! Loved learning about life and business on the ranch.
What a great time I've had reading this book. I've laughed, chuckled, smiled and got tears throughout this book. Because I'm a female, mother, grandmother and friend to families, this book meant so much to me. I laughed at how a couple big guys could barely keep up with a 5-year old whirlwind when they took care of her for a couple weeks. I smiled when this precocious wonder kept the household moving a high speed and this story grabbed my heart when the little redhead loved everyone with her whole heart and soul. Miss Lindsey and Uncle Trent were meant to be together but neither could accept it. In fact, it took three years for him to step up and ask her out. It didn't hurt any that Lindsey was the teacher for the darling little Cass. There is so much heart in this book, I loved it from beginning to end. Thanks for a great job of writing and I look forward to more of this series.
Trent is the middle brother of the Triple T Ranch brothers. He is the tall one, 6ft 5in to be exact.However a beautiful school teacher is going to be his downfall, even tho he may welcome that fall. He has had eyes for Lindsey for awhile, but felt she did not like him at all. She was confused because he was dating everybody in her age range, and not seeming to notice her at all. She was in his new sister in laws wedding just a few months ago, and he was her escort for that.When his brother and his new wife adopted adorable Cass, five years old, right before the wedding the brothers were all smitten by this tiny little girl.So when Trey and his new bride take a belated honeymoon, the other two brothers take care of Cass. Thus the romance of the school teacher begins, some of that romance is romatic, some of it is funny, but always the Triple T brothers are up for the challenge.What a great set of books, with clean, good guys and gals as the main focus of a wonderful town, caring people and funny episodes.I want more from this great Author, that is why I bought the last two books of this set of three.
