Resisting the Rancher review

I try not to read my reviews, but what can I say, I have no self-control. And with reviews like this, you’ll understand why: From Angela on Goodreads:

4 1/2 stars! This was the one in the series I was most looking forward to because when we met Cee Cee Gamble for the first time in His Reluctant Rancher she was the spunky but difficult “little sister.” Now in Resisting the Rancher we get to see Celia Gamble as an adult, still spunky but having had to mature through some tough circumstances. 

The latest in the Three River Ranch series

My favourite aspect of the whole Three River Ranch series is the way Roxanne Snopek characterizes the animals. Mistral and Chewy seem like old friends by now; Cyclops and JD are the newest additions. And the horses are always present because of their place on the ranch(es) but also because of the relationships the human characters have with them.

Although I don’t usually read romance, I always read Roxanne Snopek’s fiction because it includes everything I want in a story: well developed characters, a memorable setting, excellent dialogue, a heart-rate raising plot line and true-to-life resolutions of conflict. I only approve of “happy endings” if they are truly believable and I won’t spoil it for those of you who haven’t read this latest novel yet. But trust me: Snopek knows what she’s doing! 

Full disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of Resisting the Rancher for an honest review. I would have loved the story to be a bit longer, set over a longer period of time–but it’s not really a weakness to leave your readers wanting more.

Many thanks to Angela!
