She
came seeking family…
Will she find love at Big
Heart Ranch?
I
always get excited when I hear Tina Radcliffe is putting out a book.
She has quickly worked her way into my "top favorite authors"
list! This book was no exception, I've been anxiously awaiting this
book since book 3 of the series came out.
If
there ever was a character that I wanted to pluck out of a book and
hug, it was Tripp Walker! He's been such a strong character since
the beginning of
the series, but I always knew there was something below the surface.
I
was THRILLED when I found out he was going to get his own happily
ever after.
I
loved seeing him interact with the horses and all the kids. He really
was the biggest teddy bear around. He was so gentle and sweet, and
humble to boot. He just was a great character!
Hannah
wasn't my favorite. She seemed very cookie cutter, single mom to me.
She was a helicopter mom who wanted to keep her daughter close and
never trust a man again. And though I get WHY she was like this, the
character wasn't original so she kind of bored me more than anything.
I did see some change throughout the story, but it wasn't enough to
get me to love her.
Here's
the thing, everyone knows that the love inspired line follows a hand
full of plots. There is a rare occurrence when
an author can write characters so unlike anything else you forget
that its a love inspired book. Normally Tina KILLS the writing
characters with a twist game, however this one was meh.
I
seriously LOVED the Extreme Mustang Makeover sub-plot, I honestly
wish this part of the story had more screen time. It was such a great
aspect!
The
story overall was good, it wasn't my favorite of the series. It felt
like it was missing something, but I can't pinpoint what it was.
It
was a good end to a great series. I will definitely miss
Big Heart Ranch and its crew!
I
rated this a 3.5/5 stars.
