Can Caleb and Holly navigate their rocky past to find their happily-ever-after?Caleb Chamberlain has spent the last five years recovering from a horrible breakup, his alcoholism that stemmed from it, and the car accident that left him hospitalized. He’s finally on the right track in his life, and he’s found peace with being a cowboy at Horseshoe Home Ranch for the rest of his life. Until Holly … rest of his life.
Until Holly Gray, his twin brother’s ex-fiance mistakes him for Nathan. Caleb wasn’t around much when Nathan and Holly were an item, and it takes him a few minutes to figure out who she is, but definitely not that long to want to get to know her better. Holly’s back in Gold Valley to get the required veterinarian hours to apply for her graduate program.
When the herd at Horseshoe Home comes down with pneumonia, Caleb and Holly are forced to work together in close quarters. After checking with his brother, Caleb decides he wants to start something with Holly, despite her plans to leave town in eight months.
Holly’s over Nathan, but she hasn’t forgiven him—or the woman she believes broke up their relationship. As she and Caleb get to know one another better, she’ll have to figure out if she’s really in love with Caleb—or the memory of Nathan—and how to forgive everyone she hasn’t. Can Caleb and Holly navigate such a rough past to find their happily-ever-after?more
I liked the ups and downs and twists of this story. I really didn’t know what to expect! A trope I haven’t read before and a story that really gripped me.
“Over the Moon” was a trying tale about the romance between Caleb and Holly. This relationship is doomed from the start due to the fact that Holly was once engaged to Caleb’s brother- his twin brother! How could a relationship work with something like this hanging over there heads? Will Caleb find love and know it was for real? Can Holly move past the brother she could have?
Parents getting involved, friends choosing sides, gossips starting drama; with issues like these God has His work cut out for Him when it comes to mending the hearts of these two individuals. Through a relationship with Him, anything is possible- faith is all that is needed.
I would just like to say that there are over 6 books in this series (so far), and I am not normally a fan of series that run this long (unless they really hold your attention); however, Mrs. Isaacson grabs your attention with the multiple characters throughout the many novels and manages to keep them all tied together without having to repeat herself a multitude of times throughout each story. Wonderful job, if you enjoy one, you will enjoy all of them.
ARC for honest review with no compensation 4.5 stars
Over the Moon is book 5 in the Gold Valley series by Liz Isaacson and what a way to continue.
Caleb Chamberlain, (identical twin with Nathan) broke up with his girlfriend a number of years ago and was drowning his sorrows in the bottom of a bottle until he was involved in an accident that almost took his life but with the help of his friends and Horseshoe Home ranch this cowboy worked his way up to second in command and loves every minute of it. Deciding he is done with the ladies for good and is not looking for any relationships ever again, on this particular day he goes to town with his buddy to do shopping for the ranch and Holly Gray throws herself at him thinking he is his identical twin brother Nathan. Caleb has always felt like nobody ever saw him and always compared him to his twin but after seeing Holly is wants her to see him and be attracted to the man he is….not his brother.
Holly Gray is back in Gold Valley to help at Horseshoe Home ranch as a vet tech in order to get her hours in before she can apply for graduate school. After she mistakes Caleb for Nathan her old boyfriend (who has since married and has a baby) she hopes to avoid seeing Caleb again. Little does she know that he works at the ranch and she has been assigned to work with Caleb to figure out what is wrong with the sick cattle?
Can these two find a way to work together to find a cure for the sick cattle, let their attraction grow and bloom and find a way to their HEA???
Lots of banter between them, some insecurity, not letting go of the past to build on the future, listening to God’s whispers but overall was a good read.
