She is an ex model and he is someone she knew. They have so much hurt inside them for the school she wants to help reform and save from closing. She needs his help but has so much hurt and anger inside. It is very intense, dramatic, emotional, healing and so much more. I am a history buff and I love how this author know what she is talking about with the Indian people and their life. It is very well written and flows so nicely. I highly recommend this series. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
LANDER RIDGE is book three in Diane J. Reed’s Iron Feather Brother series and revolves around an successful rancher and a former model in a twist on an enemies to lovers story.
If you’ve been reading this series, you will quickly recognize Lander as the successful brother of Dillon and Barrett who we met in the earlier books. He’s a bit of a hot head, but everything he touches in the business world seems to turn to gold. He was an easy character to like even though there is a large ego in the picture.
Nicky comes across as good-hearted right from the start, and as a big change occurs in her life, we see her step up and try to turn the school they all attended in their life into a better, productive place.
I recommend this story to anyone who enjoys a cowboy story with a whole lot of heart and some angst with your romance. This entire series has been very enjoyable and you won’t be disappointed with any of the books in it.
The Wilson Ranch holds a lot of painful memories for both Lander and Nicky, they both stayed there during their childhood, and were treated poorly by the owner. To say that the place is a nightmare for both of them is an understatement, but Nicky has plans to change that. After she learns that she has just inherited the ranch she decides it’s time to return to Bandits Hollow, face her demons, and turn that place around, and make it better for the children currently living there.
But she is not doing it alone… enter Lander Iron Feather, the man she met years ago at Wilson Ranch, and the man that is going to help her make things right… not without a few heated battles though!
You just can’t wrong with Lander Ridge, the emotion is heartfelt, the humor is plentiful, the magic in the air is mesmerizing, and the romantic moments will leave you swooning! This lovable and feisty couple battled at every turn, and I loved having a front row seat to their magical little reunion, they had me smiling and giggling the whole way through! Their story wasn’t easy on the heart at times, due to their memories of the hard and heartbreaking upbringing they had at the Wilson Ranch. But my heart found relief and was soothed by the happiness they found in breathing new life into the place and the joy that they found in giving the children there a better life. I also enjoyed getting small glimpses of the other couples in the series, it sort of felt like a little family reunion for me, one that made my heart really happy. This series has been one of my favorite literary discoveries, the stories are unlike anything else I have read and it’s characters have left an impression that I am certain will stick with me for a long while. If you like western romance stories, then I highly suggest you give this series a try, I guarantee you will love the cowboys you find waiting for you between the pages!
I couldn’t put this book down. If you like suspense, romance and Ute lore, I know you’ll like this book. Sometimes the old ways still have magic links if you only believe. Nicky is a model, but she had a very tough childhood. After she’s injured in a fall, she finds out that she’s inherited Wilson Ranch – a sort of reform school for wayward children. Nicky vows to change it for the students to a good place for them to learn even though the owner Thorne Wilson is still around to harass. Lander Iron Feather was also a resident of Wilson Ranch and he has the scars to prove it. There is a sacred set of trees that whisper to certain people on the property. These trees are very old and guide and protect them. There are many secrets revealed in this book along with a touch of magic as well. I read the book version and was impressed with the quality of the printing, I found it very easy to read even with vision problems. I requested and was able to get a copy thru the author. This is my voluntary review. I’ve really enjoyed these books by Diane J. Reed and I highly recommend them. They are well written and her story telling is vivid – as vivid as a turquoise pendant.
This is a good book.
