This week, I am choosing another sequel to one of my favorite series by Jody Hedlund!

Synopsis

The lone girl of the family doesn’t think the McQuaid legacy of love can be hers. But is it within her reach after all?

As the event manager for Healing Springs Ranch, Emberly McQuaid works hard to prove her worth to her family. When an international banking group arrives at the ranch and her best personal concierge falls ill, Emberly has no choice but to step in and assist their most illustrious guest, the young and handsome CEO, Max Berg.

During his stay at the ranch, Prince Max is keeping his royalty a secret, hoping to escape the paparazzi along with the increasing pressure to marry a duchess by his birthday. He resists telling Emberly about his heritage because he likes that she doesn’t try to impress him. Even though he’s a workaholic, Max finds himself setting aside his duties to spend time with the beautiful redhead.

Feelings quickly escalate between the two, but they know a relationship can’t go anywhere. When they get stranded together in a mountain cabin, it’s all too easy to let the emotion of their time together sweep them away. But will they be able to overcome the obstacles that stand between them and find a way to be together? (via Amazon)

Why This Book?

As mentioned, this is the third book in A Healing Springs Ranch series. I have read and reviewed the first two books, of which the first got a whopping 5 stars from me. If you are interested in those reviews, I will link those here:

‘Lassos and Lace’ follows the sister of the family now, so I am excited to see where her love story ends up!

Updates

I am currently about 40% of the way through the audiobook version of At Love’s Command by Karen Witemeyer. This is the first in a western, romance series set in Texas. It started a bit slow to me, but it is picking up so I am enjoying it more.

I am also 54% of the way through the Kindle edition of Flameheart by Dalton and Emily Bequette. This is a portal fantasy, romance series that I am enjoying greatly. The premise is one of the best in a fantasy book for me.

  1. I recently put The Sidekick’s Survival Guide Book #1 The Art of Eavesdropping, by Christy Barritt, on my list. I have read a couple of Christy Barritt’s Love Inspired Suspense books, and I am excited to try one of her other clean, faith-filled mysteries.

    1. Oooh I have never heard of those books before! I will have to check them out for sure. I have been trying to find a good suspense lately. Thank you 🙂

      1. You’re welcome! 😀

  2. This sounds like it will be a good addition to the series.

    I try not to DNF books because even though they might be slow at the beginning they suddenly pick up and I’m hooked!

    You are doing well on your reading goals! 60 % is an excellent place to be at this time of year!

    Have a great week!

    1. I dislike dropping books as well. I typically only do that when certain content sneaks its way in there. Otherwise, I will typically push through the slowness.

      Thank you so much! I played it safe with the amount since this will be my first full year of reading consistently. This is a good base line for sure. I may end up increasing it when I go over 48.

      Have a great week yourself!

      1. Ergh that sneaky content!

        Yeah mine is based on my son napping for the rest of the year 😂 he will be 3 in July so 😶

        Thank you 😊

About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 28 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
