Rancher to the Rescue: A Clean Romance

The more I read these little Heartwarming series romances, the more I enjoy them. Light reading but with quality writing and engaging stories and characters. I really appreciate the “low-heat” rating on the romance because it gives so much more page time to showing character chemistry between the leads, not just their amount of sizzle. This book brings ranch life to the front with descriptions of day to day events on a teaching destination ranch (hey, I want to go to one of those) and the struggle of making ends meet at such a place.

Brady could have easily been a silver-spoon-in-mouth sort of kid, with his rich dad, but he had a great sense of humor and won me over pretty quickly. His ideas for the ranch could be pretty far-out but I really enjoyed how he was open to other opinions and didn't just leap into his plans blindly; at the same time, when the time was right, he doesn't hesitate to act. This made him an engaging character in his own right, not just in a romantic way.

There's a sweet secondary story with side characters Gus and Sharlene as well.
