THE REBEL'S RETURN
Surprise fatherhood could be just the thing to reform this black sheep.
Called home after an injury in the family, prodigal son Samuel Navarro shocks everyone by arriving with his surprise baby in tow. When Samuel's mom is unable to act as a full-time babysitter, his childhood, Joella James, reluctantly takes the job. But can the newly devoted dad convince Joella he's a changed man...and that she's the perfect final piece to his little family?
A Ranchers of Gabriel Bend Novel
My Review:
"You don't need to see the whole path in order to take the next step." (p 197)
Gotta love a prodigal story with a cowboy hero! Especially when it's set in Myra Johnson's Ranchers of Gabriel Bend series. If you've read the first book, The Rancher's Family Secret, you'll be happy to see some familiar faces in this story, but it also reads wonderfully well as a standalone too.
Love all the drama and friendships and romance ricocheting around the neighbouring ranches and the strong cast of secondary characters who enrich Samuel and Joella's love story. That includes adorable little Sophie who is just days old when we meet her and brings all kinds of complications to Samuel's life but he wouldn't have it any other way.
Johnson creates characters that come alive and struggle with the kind of worries and fears most every reader can relate to. And the act of letting go and trusting God with it all is portrayed beautifully through the lives of this hero and heroine.
A sweet and uplifting romance full of wisdom and warmth and the promise of happily ever after.

Here's your chance! Good luck, Winnie!
DeleteI used to keep up with all of Myra Johnson's releases, but I've yet to read any from this newest series. My love for Myra Johnson started with your recommendation of The Horsemen of Cross Roads Farm Series.
