review 1: 1877 Last Chance, California. Alexia Travers has many loose ends to tie up after her father's recent death. Luckily she still has the support of Uncle Joe and Martha. The ranch hands don't like the idea of working for a woman rancher even if she could hold her own while working and roping the horses. Unbeknownst to Alex her father had notified Justin Phillips a friend of his to come to Last Chance. Because his life and ranch were in danger. Her father feared for his life and needed Justin to work undercover in hopes of revealing the culprit causing the trouble. But Justin was not alone, he is a widower with his three year old son. He no sooner got to town and there was trouble. He soon straightens that mess out and in the process managed to make a few friends in t... moreown. He was told he could probably get hired on as ranch hand on a local ranch owned by a woman. Which he had not problem working for a woman. He just wanted to make sure his son would be looked after while he worked.Uncle Joe and Martha liked Justin right off and told him if Alex hired him that Martha would be more than happy to watch his son. Uncle Joe even volunteered to help her with the boy. Alex recognized Justin from the incident when he first arrived in town so she wasn't too sure about hiring him. But it looked like his boy and Martha had already bonded so she told Justin she would try him out. To Alex's surprise Justin turned out to be a big asset to the ranch. He definitely knew his way around a ranch. Alex uncovered some things about her father and the ranch she had no idea was going on. She is afraid she might lose the ranch. No way will she let that happen. But now someone is stealing her horses and cutting her fences. Her distant cousin that really isn't related at all has asked to court her. But he seems to be into her business way to much. Justin notices this also and plans on keeping an eye on him. He made a promise to her father and he plans to see it through. From the looks of things he is pretty sure her father's death was not an accident.This book had just the right amount of intrigue, adventure and romance. The author writes about trusting in God and having faith that He has plan for each one of us. The character of Alex was head strong and a little to prideful and too independent at times but when she started to trust in God she was able to accept help from others. Justin was about in the same situation with God, once he let go and let God his whole outlook on life changed. In my opinion the author has a wonderful story here and it is hard to put down once you start reading. I highly recommend this book.I rated this book a 5 out of 5.DisclosureI purchased this book for my own reading pleasure. I was not compensated for this review in any way. It is my own opinion.
review 2: The great part of this book was that there were various characters who all had a good role to play in the story and the plot flowed and questions I had while reading it were answered. Alexia/Alex owned a ranch after her father died. When a newcomer came to town with a little boy, Alex had longed to get to know him. He had certainly had a past but Alex did fear getting to know it. Was he connected to her father's death? A great part about this Christian book was that it was mainly about showing God to others regardless of what other people thought of them. I liked the story a lot! less
