Home on the Range by Ruth Logan Herne

Home on the Range is the second book in the Double S Ranch series and I haven't read the first book, but it was not a problem at all.  Actually I didn't even realize it was a sequel until I finished the book.  I was able to follow the characters and the plot line just fine.

I would not normally choose a book about cowboys or a ranch, but I did enjoy this one. Really in the end it is a love story more than a cowboy story.  Rancher, Nick Stafford, has two daughters who need counseling after their mother deserts them. They begin seeing Dr. Elsa Andreas, who has struggled with her own issues. Healing and love soon blossom. 

Really, even more than the love story, I was touched by the family story.  The Stafford family has had its problems, but each member is learning how to love and is finding his or way back to God.  They work hard on the ranch, but they also love (and eat) well.  Redemption is a major theme of this book and I was blessed by that. 

I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review
