I really enjoyed this clean, second chance romance. I voluntarily chose to review this story and I’ve given it a 5* rating. I really felt for this broken heroine and the things she went through. I needed a couple of tissues for this. Not only did she go through a lot but she struggled to keep her twin daughters protected from a lot of it too. This also addressed the problem of dyslexia. Loved the ending.
Can a carousel bring them together?
What a sweet adorable story! If I weren’t already an Allie Pleiter fan Their Wander Canyon Wish would definitely make me one. I really do think it’s my favorite of her books so far.
I’ll confess that I was a bit dubious when I started it because I hadn’t really cared for Wyatt in his first appearance so I wasn’t sure how much I’d like him now. Needless to say, I changed my mind. And as much as I liked Marilyn and felt for her as she dealt with loss as well as the fall-out of secrets coming to light, it was her two little girls Maddie and Margie that I fell in love with. Those two were just so cute!
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention my absolute favorite thing about Their Wander Canyon Wish, the carousel. I’ve loved them since I was little girl and rode one for the first time. There is something magical about carousels that transcends age.
Love carousels and faith-filled romance? I would heartily suggest Allie Pleiter’s charming Love Inspired novel. It’s a quick and easy read that is sure to brighten your day.

Thunderstruck.
You will really enjoy reading about Wander Canyon, “Because Wander Canyon is watching—Wander Canyon is always watching”. Twins are adorable! Marilyn found what she’d been missing – “hope, love, and the heart of a truly good man.”
I received an ARC of this book for review. I was not required to write a favorable review. All opinions in this review are my own.
Books with twins in them are absolutely delightful.
Heartwarming story of a defiant Wyatt and a strong Marilyn.
I loved reading about her strength even when things were bad. Her loyalty was really admirable. She lost her husband and was trying to navigate life with her adorable twins. Going back home to her parents threw her into more turmoil. Life had not been fair to her for a while but it did not make her bitter or unkind to people, rather sympathetic.
Wyatt’s most admirable virtue was his protectiveness over Marilyn and the twins. It was so beautiful to read it all. He had been tagged as the bad boy but Marilyn’s presence in his life did wonders to him.
Together they rode some pretty big storms but they came out having each other.
Beautiful story of second chances and God’s faithfulness.
I received a copy of the book and this is my honest opinion.
What a fun read I love when a story involves kids I feel like they always add a huge element to a story. I think the one thing I felt was left hanging was something that played out through the story with out giving anything away it felt like you were left with some questions in the end. I am not sure if this is going to be a series and eventually it will all play out or if you are just left to figure it out on our own. I did like Mari and Wyatt, they both had troubles and struggle they need to face but it wasn’t something they need others to face it with but they needed to conquer on their own. I was not a fan of Marilyn’s mom, I hope there is more to come I would love to find out what happens next. Over all this book was a good clean read and suitable for all ages.
Their Wander Canyon Wish was another wonderful story from Allie Pleiter. I’ve loved everything I’ve read from her and this is my favorite one yet.
It was deep and meaningful. I hurt for the characters and rejoiced with them. I laughed with them and shed a tear right alongside them. It spoke to me on so many levels. The pain of harsh and unfair judgments, the untrue labels others place on you, can be so hurtful, but there is always hope and love in the Lord. What a wonderful reminder!
This was a quick read that I enjoyed immensely. I sped through it in just two days. I didn’t want to leave these characters, but when I did have to set it down to tend to other things, they were always on my mind. It’s a sweet and inspirational read that’s sure to delight fans of contemporary romance. I can’t wait to visit Wander Canyon again!

4.5 Stars
The small-town resident bad boy is not the man Marilyn Sofitel expected to find a friend in. Yet, Wyatt Walker with all his bravado and defiance is a much better man than most people in Wander Canyon give him credit for.
Allie Pleiter presents a story about finding love when (and where) you least expect it and the importance of and strength in finding the people who will stand beside you when the worst of life batters all your hopes and dreams.
While Wyatt was introduced in the final Matrimony Valley book, readers really get to know and understand him better in this one. And don’t worry if you haven’t read the previous book. Since this is the start of a new series, you won’t feel like you’re left out of anything.
Their Wander Canyon Wish is an excellent introduction to this little Colorado town, its beloved carousel, the gossips, the true friends, and two adorable twin girls who will capture your heart a little bit. If you are looking for a sweet, uplifting, quick read, Pleiter delivers above and beyond.

Their Wander Canyon Wish by Allie Pleiter
Wander Canyon Series Book One
Wyatt Walker had always been Wander’s bad boy. And now, the town looked at him with disgust because he left his legacy…Wander Canyon Ranch.
Marilyn Sofitel has returned to Wander Canyon after her husband passed away. With her twin daughters in tow. Also with secrets. She just didn’t realize how bad the secrets were until they were exposed.
Such a heartwarming story. Wyatt was still the outcast and bad boy, but Marilyn sees through to a different man. And the little girls added to the story. Not to mention a few pinch-faced older women to complete the story.
