Review: The Rancher's Surprise Daughter

The Rancher's Surprise Daughter




"Luc Wilder’s surprised when his ex-girlfriend Cate Malory arrives at his Colorado guest ranch. And he’s downright stunned when she introduces him to his three-year-old daughter, Ruby. Bonding with the bubbly little girl is easy—Ruby loves ranch life, just like her daddy. But after all the secrets, can Luc and Cate find a way to trust in each other again?"



Author: Jill Lynn
Length: 224 pages
Format: mass market paperback, large print, e-book



A reunion he never expected...
What could go wrong?


I read and reviewed Jill's last release and absolutely loved it! So I was thrilled to review this book this go round.

I really enjoy Jill's writing style, she paints a beautiful scenery and beautiful characters.

I really really liked the Wilder crew! The family dynamic was so great and well rounded. I really enjoyed the Wilder sister, Emma and McKenzie. Their personalities were complete opposites, but again...it was a well rounded family and they worked well together.

Throughout the book Lucas and Cate's past unfolds. You meet two very immature young aduts who don't really know how to love someone else since they truly don't love themselves yet.

Lucas completely changed in the four years since they had last spoke. His character and maturity level had increased. He was a great guy! Yes he was angry when he found out Cate had kept Ruby a secret for so long, but he NEVER let that affect how much he LOVED that little girl! Or how hard he tried to make things work with Cate. He wanted to work together and be a family from -- pretty much -- day one.

Cate on the other hand...I was NOT her biggest fan!! She never believed or trusted Lucas, even when there was proof he was telling the truth. She was SO quick to lay blame and was VERY slow to forgive. She had a really hard time letting Lucas get anywhere close to Ruby and honestly I just had a really hard time with her!! 

I got stuck about half way into the book because I was getting so annoyed with Cate and decided it was best if I cooled off before continuing. 🙈😅

Overall it was a 3/5 stars. I REALLY loved Lucas, and I really hope Emma & McKenzie have stories, but Cate really put a damper on the story for me. 
I still enjoy Jill's writing and will be keeping my eyeballs peeled for all of her work!

Quotes:

"I'll grab your orange thingy."
Her giggled filled the room. "Dad, it's an Apple. A mini iPad."
"Are you sure it's not a banana?"
Another titter from Ruby.
Emma shook her head. "Oy with the dad jokes."
