The Rancher's Redemption {Book Review}

Title: The Rancher's Redemption

Series: Return of the Blackwell Brothers

Author: Melinda Curtis

Genre: Contemporary/Western Romance

Book Description:

His family committed a terrible wrong

Ben Blackwell wants to make it right

The last time Ben saw Rachel Thompson was when her best friend left him at the altar. Now Rachel’s suing the Blackwells over river water rights. Rachel’s a triple threat—rancher, fellow attorney and single mom—and Ben’s plan to win in court hits a snag when mutual attraction blooms. If he divulges a long-held secret, will his family forgive him? Will Rachel?

My Review:

So this is the third book in the Blackwell Brother's series. I will say this each and every book in this series can be read as a stand alone and is written by a different author. This book follows Ben and Rachel's adventure. So you could start with this book if you wanted and I don't think you'd really be missing much, since as I mentioned these can be read as stand alones. 

Big E is still missing in this book and Ben finds himself back in Falcon Creek. Somewhere Ben Blackwell never thought he'd be again. The only reason he is back home is to fight the water rights disput that Rachel Thompson has filed against his family. He's not back to make nice with his family or his twin brother Ethan. But he is back to make some past wrongs right with his ex-best friend Rachel and her family farm the Double T, even if it destroys his own family. I liked Ben is this book and even felt for him.

Rachel Thompson is a woman on a mission. A woman who is wanting to right the wrongs done to her family by the Blackwell family. She's also a woman who is trying to finalize her divorce, raise her daughter, and take care of her family ranch. I liked that she was sweet, kind, caring, protective, and fiesty. 

I thought that this book was a nice addition to the Blackwell Brothers series. I really liked getting to know Ben in this book. I really felt for the Blackwell brother's and all the pain they've gone through. Even though their not as close as they used to be you could tell how much family and they still meant to each other. I thought that Ben and Rachel were a perfect match for each other, also. 

I'm giving this book 4 Stars out of 5!!!!

Creed ‘Too Hot For Words’ Christopher

If God created the perfect man he would closely resemble Creed, on the outside that is.

He’s as cavalier as they come. Unconcerned. Cold. Dismissive. I wonder if he has any feelings at all.

And when his lips touch mine, everything goes black. He takes me into his world, and it’s the most magical thing I’ve ever experienced.

And I’m sucked in time and time again.

Like a moth to the flame, I am ready to be set alight.

Elicea ‘F*cks With My Head’ Beckham

Elicea is a firecracker. She has piqued my interest, and no one piques my interest anymore.

Beautiful women are what I do—it’s my work.

Not one of them has managed to get their claws into me the way she does. It’s as if she’s seeing my ice heart and trying to set it alight with each touch of her sinful lips.

But that can’t work, it won’t work.

Not in my world.

“Wow! Wow! Wow! This book had me hooked! I was mesmerized by every aspect.” ~ Goodreads Review (Katy D.)

“This book has all the feels. It will make you laugh and cry all in one!” ~ Goodreads Review (Jennifer R.)

Lola "Brave" Pruitt has dealt with more nightmares in her time at Reed Security than she can handle. It's time for her to move on and really start living her life without her demons tormenting her. When she finds another lost soul, Ryan Jackson, in a bar one night, she may just find her salvation. But Ryan is just as damaged as Lola and her lifestyle is one thing that he may not be able to live with.

We all stood around my kitchen as I nervously wiped my hands on my pants, glancing into the other room to make sure James was still watching TV.

“What are we doing here?” Logan asked. “You said it was urgent.” “James wants to know about sex,” I said bluntly.

“So, tell him,” Jack shrugged. “It can’t have been that long since you’ve gotten some. You still know how it works.”

“He started talking about using his hand and knowing that I was screwing other women because I needed a

release. Then he said he didn’t want to have sex for the first time and not know what he was doing.”

“And what did you tell him?” Cole asked. “I fled the room.” I shook my head and started pacing. “I’m not prepared for this shit. My dad didn’t have the

talk with me. I fumbled through it and found my way. I don’t know the first thing about sex talks.”

“What would Cassie say?” Sean asked. “Are you fucking kidding me? She’d yell at me and tell me not to tell him more than he needs to know.” “Well, you can’t just send the kid out into the wild, sticking his dick wherever he wants. The boy has to know how to use it,” Sean huffed. “Come on. His uncles will set him straight.”

They all walked into the living room like this was the easiest thing in the world. I brought the beer. I knew better. “James,” Sebastian jerked his chin at him. James shut off the TV and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his

knees. “Listen, your old man is being awkward about this whole thing. Sex is natural. Ask anything you want and we’ll tell you.”

“Cool,” James nodded. “Okay, so when I want to have sex with a girl, what’s the best way to tell her?”

Sean snorted. “Well, you don’t just go up to her and tell her you want to stick your dick in her. You date her for a while and if you feel a connection, then you start moving on the bases.”

“Which bases?” James asked. “Christ, Ryan. Didn’t you tell this kid anything?” Jack crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. “Bases, like in baseball. First is kissing. Second, is touching her boobs, and third is touching her pussy. I think you can guess what a home run is.”

“No, that’s not the way it works,” Logan said. “First is french kissing. Second is groping. Third is oral sex. A home run is the full monty.”

“Really?” Sean quirked an eyebrow. “That’s not what I went by.” “Of course you didn’t, jackass,” Drew shoved him.

“Listen, it’s really easy. First is kissing and light petting. Second is oral. Third is intercourse. A home run is when you stick it in her ass,” Sean said.

“Whoa!” I held up my hands and shook my head. What the fuck was wrong with these guys? “You can’t say shit like that to my kid.”

“Girls really let you do that?” James asked in wonder. “Kid, if you get that, it’s like going on a fucking world tour,” Jack said. I dropped my head in my hands and sighed. This was not what I had in mind when I called them over. Advice? Sure. This? This was my worst fucking nightmare.

   

   

I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.
