Reclaiming the Rancher's Heart by Lisa Carter

Reclaiming the Rancher's Heart
ABOUT THE BOOK

A surprise homecoming

Brings a second chance for their marriage.

It’s been three years since the loss of their daughter tore Jack and Kate Dolan’s world—and marriage—apart. But now Kate’s back on the ranch with shocking news: their divorce never went through. As Jack and Kate struggle to decide how to move forward, they realize they can’t rewrite the past. But that doesn’t mean the book on their love is closed. Perhaps it’s time for a new chapter…

From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness, and hope.




MY THOUGHTS.....




Reclaiming the Rancher's Heart tackles the devastating subject of losing a child and it touched every part of my being. In a note to her readers, author Lisa Carter writes 'For a bereaved parent, the journey to healing is never complete.' This understanding has enabled her to tell Jack and Kate Dolan's poignant story and it's filled with so many conflicting emotions. Raw pain, overwhelming grief, trying to find a new normal, and the hope and comfort that can only come from faith and belief in God. After three years, Jack has found that comfort, but Kate is still struggling. She just didn't say goodbye to her little girl...she also lost the man who has always claimed her heart!

Kate and Jack are both likable characters, but Jack is truly a dream, and there are many secondary characters who make this an unforgettable story. If you're looking for an 'everything is perfect' romance, this book isn't for you. Reclaiming the Rancher's Heart is a realistic 'life can be painful' tale that shows it's possible to go on and that God can help heal all wounds. This was a 5-star read for me, but I dare you to read it without crying! I highly recommend this book to all who enjoy Christian romance.

I received a copy of this book from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review and these are my own thoughts.


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
