Valentine Nebraska,
By
This review is from: Love Finds You in Valentine, Nebraska (Love Finds You, Book 3) (Paperback)
When Kennedy Blaine steps out of her rental car onto the ranch she's inherited, she meets a Matt Dillon look alike and it's love at first sight. But there's a problem--she's a millionaire and Derek Sterling is the "lowly" manager of her ranch. She decides to spend the summer at the ranch and reconnect with her ancestral home. Rather than selling, as she planned, she is drawn to the peaceful atmosphere and the people who inhabit the area.
Kennedy finds herself embroiled in old family issues, requiring forgiveness. Someone who obviously wants her to leave Valentine also harasses her. Could it be the person who wants to buy the ranch although she doesn't want to sell? She depends on God's protection and Derek's assistance as the tangled threads unravel. The two lovers are able to reconcile important issues in the midst of some interesting quirks and turns in the plot, especially during the marriage proposal. Brand accurately portrays the solitary ranch country in the Sandhills of western Nebraska, with its unique customs and prejudices, along with small town Nebraska life. She imports a crook or two and sets up some local criminals for plenty of adventure. You will love Wilson, the wonderful dog. Irene Brand has built a wide readership over the 24 years she's written inspiring, faith-based novels. Her husband is a native Nebraskan, and the couple has visited Valentine from time to time. They now reside in West Virginia. Reviewed by Audrey Hebbert, M.A., retired teacher and freelance writer, Omaha, Nebraska

Love between a rich woman and a poor man,
By squiresj (Wasola, Mo) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Finds You in Valentine, Nebraska (Love Finds You, Book 3) (Paperback)
What a read? This book is one you will read in two to three days. You won't be able to lay it down. Kennedy Blaine inherits her family's ranch after her Dad passes away. She has not been in the home since she was very small. She lives in California and travels to Nebraska to see the ranch and why her Mother loved it so.
You learn about family fueds and how they divide families. Also there is a story about Derek who was adopted and then abandoned and left in Chicago, Il. He runs into trouble with gangs and is in one foster home after another until finally adopted by someone who loved him. It can show you how people can change when put int he right situations. There is a surprise at the end of the book I won't share as it would ruin it for you. Derek has problems thinking he is good enough for Kennedy. In my own marriage, I always felt not good enough for my husband when I was dating him so I can relate well to this. Thank God we worked through it just like Kennedy and Blaine did in this story. I liked how Irene showed the struggles deciding in a relationship about love and how relationships grow regardless. A book about how love really grows and finally ends in marriage. Seeing Lyn Cote on here as a reviewer means a lot too as she is a fine author in her own right. Wealth, kidnapping, danger, and love all wrapped together. Life happens.
