Cowboys looking for a second chance at life, love, and happiness.

Nathaniel Mulbury is released early from his six-year term in prison to care for his brother's four-year-old son. Dealing with grief over his brother's death and continued guilt for his role in the embezzlement scheme that landed him in jail, Nate has one more problem. He's never been a father and has no idea how to take care of Connor.

Make that two problems: He's released, but only to the care of Hope Eternal Ranch, a work-parole ranch run by the beautiful and smart Ginger Talbot. He's never been a cowboy, and he's got no room in his life for a woman.

Ginger has dealt with plenty of men like Nate, even if the sparks between them don't just come from his background. She's not falling for a handsome face and a nice pair of biceps again. After all, most prisoners have plenty of time to work out.

But there's something different about Nate that calls to her softer side, if only she'd let him in. If only she knew how to let anyone in... But Ginger is jaded for good reason, and she's not going to risk losing Hope Eternal Ranch—or her heart—again.

Can Ginger and Nate find their happily-ever-after, keep up their duties on the ranch, and build a family? Or will the risk be too great for them both?

Fantastic Clean Romance

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2020

I loved this book by Elana Johnson so much that I read it in one day. This is a fantastic clean romance between Nate and Ginger. Ginger owns and runs Hope Eternal Ranch where prisoners nearing their releases from a minimum security prison finish their sentences at the ranch. There are rules they have to obey, and they have to work on the ranch as cowboys. They receive pay for their hours worked and a room to stay in. Nate is released to the ranch the day he finds out that his brother died and left all he owned to Nate including being the guardian for his four-year old son, Connor. Nate had never worked as a cowboy but learned to love the ranch and all the people who lived and worked at the ranch especially Ginger. Did Nate complete his sentence and did he, Connor, and Ginger become a family? You will have to read the book to find out. I highly recommend this must read book. It is a standalone book even though it is the start of a series.

Love after all

Hopeful Cowboy by Elana Johnson was a different type of story than I am used to but it kept my interest until the end. Nate was in prison on investment fraud and wasn’t to be released for another 6 months of his seven-year sentence. Ginger owned and ran Hope Eternal Ranch that was a Residential Reentry Center where the inmates learned how to adjust to life outside of the prison. When Nate’s brother, Ward, died unexpectedly and he was named guardian of his four-year-old nephew, Connor. Nate was released to Ginger and the Hope Eternal Ranch to take care of Connor and serve the last six months of his sentence. Can Ginger help Nate find himself again and prepare him for what lies ahead of him with his release and caring for his nephew? Will Nate feel he deserves to live again and raise Connor? Can Ginger and Nate overcome the emotional and physical draw toward each other to make the transition easy for everyone? These are questions that will make you keep reading to find out.

A Great Read!

My review today is on the Romance , Hopeful Cowboy: A Mulbury Boys Novel. This is book one in the Hope Eternal Ranch Romance Series. I enjoyed this book. I have never read any of Elana's work before but I really liked this one and look forward to reading more of her books. The story is well written and heartwarming. I know you are going to love it.
Nathaniel Mulbury is in prison on a white collar crime. He has done everything he can to not cause trouble so he can get out as soon as possible. One day he is called into the office and his whole world is turned upside down. He is told his beloved brother has died and has left him everything including his four year old son. They are giving him an early release but he must go to a ranch that will be a halfway house for him and the child. Nate doesn't know how to be a cowboy or a father but he is willing to learn. His only concern is the beautiful woman that will be in charge of him. He has no time for a woman in his life.
Ginger Talbot had taken convicts before, one turned out to steal her money and almost got the ranch. She's not sure what to do about the attraction she feels for Nate. She will not be hurt again. There is something different about Nate though and who could help but fall for that adorable little boy.
A great journey of second chances. God has a plan for these three; a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too, a good plan and not for evil. Make Him Lord in your life and He will get you through these trying times.

Wonderful story, but...

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2020

I've read a number of works by Elana Johnson and her alter-ego, Liz Isaacson. This was on its way to becoming my favorite, and then it went on too long.

For me, the conflict was over when each of the partners realized he or she was truly in love and could trust a future with the other. Then the denouement went on for another several chapters.

I still enjoyed the story, and I will read more of Elana's works.

A Clean Modern Day Ranch & Cowboys/Cowgirls Read

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book was a nice change of pace. I am familiar with prison work release programs. I used to work for a State Agency that hired inmates for day work. However, our inmates were city based. So I found it interesting to have this set on a ranch. I also found it interesting that no screening for sexual predators was mentioned. I would think, due to their source of money being visitors to the ranch for different activities, that screening sex offenders would be mandated. Especially with eleven year old horse back lessons.

I loved this . All the characters were lovable. This was a slow burn romance that had a little bit of suspense in it.

I cried and I laughed and the two were not related. The story will move you. It might make you angry (why keep secrets?). Overall a great story.
