A family wedding, a slight mishap, a Texas Ranger, his sister’s best friend, two ornery old men & a bunch of missing calves — all ingredients to a wonderful story. Ian & Kelly are reintroduced at his cousin Finn’s wedding. Ian ends up rescuing Kelly & begins to see her in a different light. Kelly is living at home helping her mother take care of her grandfather & uncle after they were thrown out of the retirement home. An encounter with a young puppy brings them closer together.
I love this series! Each story can be read by itself but if you read them in order, it adds an additional dimension. The family dynamics really come out as the series moves along. The Farraday family is extremely close no matter the difference between them. Kelly is really sweet & has a lot of responsibility on her shoulders. Her ex boyfriend did a number on her self confidence & so she’s having a tough time believing anyone could be interested in her. I really enjoyed this one & couldn’t put it down!
Awesome series
I just finished ‘Ian’ and it was fantastic. It drew me in, grabbed ahold of me, and wouldn’t let me go until I finished every single word. Every book in this series has been so very good and out of them all Declan and Ian are my favorite.
It was so nice and such a pleasant change from man-whores, bad language and graphic sex. Without those things, it is so much easier to focus on this family and the true sweetness from a read like this. There was something about this book that made it so special.
Our hero is Ian Farraday, a cousin to our original Farraday family and brother to Hannah. He is a Ranger and there is nothing he likes better than catching the bad guys except when he visits his uncle and cousins in Tucker Bluff. Through some odd circumstances, he comes face-to-face with a curvy damsel in distress that he will take responsibility for since she was arrested without committing a crime. He knows her but not well as she grew up close to the Farraday’s ranch and was friends with Grace and Hannah.
Our heroine, Kelly Morgan, has been emotionally battered by her ex-boyfriend who did his best to put her down at every opportunity. She was a curvy young woman and the ex-boyfriend did his best to convince her she was fat and unattractive. It didn’t matter that the friends she had as well as her cousins have told her countless times that they would kill for curves like hers. He had done enough damage that she thought maybe the mirror was lying and she was truly fat. It took her a while to get past that. When someone you love beats you down until you are about as low as you can go, it does something to you, changes your view of yourself and maybe makes you feel less valued as a person.
This was a real kismet moment for them and following along with the other books, the matchmaking dogs were at it again!
I highly recommend this book as well as the rest of the ‘Farraday Series.’ Great job Chris! With all you’ve had going on, how did you write such a great and touching story?
Slow, not as good as the other Farraday stories.
This book is awesome. Ian is part of the Faraday clan of Texas. I would recommend all of the books in this series, beginning with Adam. They are really great!!
The Farradays of Tucker’s Bluff – gorgeous – kind – generous. Raised to work hard. Moral. It doesn’t get any better. We came to know Kelly early on as Adam’s employee. Ian is a cousin but measured by the same ruler as Sean’s boys. Kelly & Ian find a relationship, as well as one of the match-making pups! Kelly’s granddad & his brother make for an entertaining side plot. Keep ‘em coming Chris –
The Farraday Country series provides a ray of sunshine in a world that is full of negativity. Each tale is another piece of the rainbow that builds hope. Ms. Keniston has created in the Farradays, a family that is a little bit broken, but forever linked in love and life. Someone, somewhere is looking out for them. With a little help from a furry guardian angel, they can conquer anything the world tosses their way. Ian is the man with the plan. A far too serious loner, that always has time for his family. When a flighty and unpredictable whirlwind blows into town, his staid existence becomes chaos. Will he survive the ride with his heart intact? Pleasure is synonymous with this sweet series.
Those matchmaking dogs are at it again! The Faraday cousins are as great as the Tucker Bluff family! I am so glad that Chis Keniston continued the series with Hannah and now Ian and I look forward to Jamison’s story. I have been waiting for Kelly’s turn to find someone special and I hoped it would be a Faraday. Texas Ranger Ian Faraday is awesome!!! If you have ever read one of the books in the series, the rest are sure to be an auto-buy but for any new readers, you can feel pretty comfortable starting that this point. While the earlier couples are identified, not too much of their story is revealed. This tale probably has more humor than the others because her grandfather and great uncle are quite mischievous; there is a feeling that their poor choices come from age related issues but boredom is possible culprit so the concern is not a big downer although it is recognized as a part of life that has to be addressed. The way Ian works with their issues makes him a hero because he isn’t just doing it for Kelly, it is representative of who he is.
I received an ARC of Ian from the author, a thrill for me even though I had already ordered it because I absolutely adore this series. This is one of those books that I have to shout about to friends and fellow readers because I love it SO much.
