Ben Buttars is the youngest of the four Buttars brothers who come to Steeple Ridge Farm, and he finally feels like he’s landed somewhere he can make a life for himself. At only twenty-five, and having been cared for by his older brother when their parents died a decade ago, Ben’s never dated, never had a serious relationship, never really worried about anything.Reagan Cantwell is a decade older … decade older than Ben and the recreational direction for the town of Island Park, five miles from the farm where Ben works. When she visits him to discuss a partnership between the farm and the recreational department, she likes a lot more than just his horse. But she’s practically married to her job, works with two dozen other men, and doesn’t know how to carve out room in her life for Ben.
Though Ben is young, he knows what he wants—and that’s Rae. Can she figure out how to put what matters most in her life—family and faith—above her job before she loses Ben?

It was a mix of finding new love, broken hearts, indecision and faith.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and loved it so much, I purchased a copy.
Wow!!!! There were times in the story that I teared up. Ms. Isaacson’s stories just draw you in and make you feel a part of the story. The emotions that the characters feel, I felt. I so fell in love with Ben (long before Rea did!!!!) I just hated to see this story end. I wanted to stay with them and to continue their journey. That is what a great author does. Makes you feel. The dual POVs was wonderful. It really helped to connect with the characters. I highly recommend this story to anyone!!!!! Now onto the next one!!!!
The age difference between the main characters was problematic for me. In reality, such an age difference would create several issues.
I absolutely love Liz Isaacson and all of her many different novels that she has written! She is wonderful and creates so many different stories that I have all fallen in love with, and I am so excited to read this new series about Steeple Ridge.
“Finding Love at Steeple Ridge: A Buttars Brothers Novel (Steeple Ridge Romance, Book 1)” is an adorable tale about the youngest brother, Ben and his new older, girlfriend Rae. Whereas one of them has never been in a relationship before, the other has dated around and has jealous ex-boyfriends. Can these two put their pasts behind them and move forward in a loving relationship that God has designed for them? Is it possible with all of the history and difficulties between them? Only time, reading, and prayers can tell at this time.
Please, if you have never picked up a novel by Ms. Isaacson, I would like to encourage you to do so. I promise you that you will not regret it!

Finding Love at Steeple Ridge is the 1st book in the Steeple Ridge series by Liz Isaacson and the beginning of the Buttars Brothers books! !
Ben is the youngest Buttars brother and at age 25 has always been sheltered by his brothers. They come to Steeple Ridge to work and he feels he may have found his place in the world and maybe the lady of his dreams. When this beautiful lady comes to the ranch to try and get a partnership going for the recreational department in town, he finds his heart aflutter for her….
Regan is a decade older than Ben and has dated her fair share, but feels the pull of attraction to him but because of the age difference she tries to keep this a strictly business arrangement…but can she keep it that way or will the attraction be so strong that age will not be a factor???
Can you really learn to trust again after being abandoned and betrayed by your father? Can one really bad boyfriend experience bring home the ugly even more than the betrayal of your father?
Sometimes, the answer is yes, at least in terms of self esteem and the ability to trust.
Two horse loving young people try to find their way together, and work to stay together, despite the wounds of the past, their fears for the present and the future, and the struggle to balance work, love, faith and family in a modern world.
These lovers are faith motivated, and work for guidance by faith, but manage to do it without being pocket bibles or wayside pulpits.
They’re just two people trying to works things out, and finding that faith can help with that.
I was honored to read an advanced copy of this book. I honestly very much enjoy the second chance life/ romance stories Isaacson shares in these warm and human books.
