Three Rivers Ranch Romance: Complete Collection

“Second Chance Ranch” is a story of love, redemption, and second chances (obviously since it is found in the title). Squire and Kelly have a love story that is not typically for most romance authors, it is different without being too different. When you dive into this story you will meet two characters that could be your next door neighbors if you didn’t look hard enough.

“Third Time’s the Charm” is a wonderful tale of healing, peace, and hope that takes place within two people that never thought it could happen to them. People say that time heals all wounds, but for these two people horses actually have the magical touch. Some say that God works in mysterious ways, and that is seen throughout this beautifully told novel.

“Fourth and Long” is a beautiful story about second chances, even when they aren’t the easiest thing to come by. Brett and Kate where married for only a short time before he was shipped out for a tour in Iraq, but what he didn’t know was that even though Kate had asked for a divorce two months into his tour- it was never finalized. Kate found out she was pregnant and now she is back, multiple years later, to finally tell Brett the truth. Is it too late?

“Fifth Generation Cowboy” is a novel that struck outside of the norm for this series, at least to me. I felt like this novel by Ms. Isaacson was a step about from the homestead of Three Rivers Ranch, and into the lives that surround the community that makes these books so great. We find Tom and Rose in a new, up and coming friendship; one that’s built on both not looking for love. Can they be what the other needs, even with them both fighting it? Will they find that happily ever after?

“Sixth Street Love Affair” is a wonderful story and is actually the first in this series that I was reading for the first time. I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet and new romance, it had the passion and a little bit of danger to keep readers on their toes and coming back for more. I can honestly say that I never expected this story to have come out of the quiet Garth and Juliette; however, I will not say anything more for I don’t want to give anything away.

“The Seventh Sergeant” shows the broken side of a veteran, the physical pain instead of just the mental agony that stays behind after the war. Reese Sanders was Pete’s first patient at Courage Reins and has finally began to find his way in the war with his disabilities, that is until an accident might leave him paralyzed permanently. Can Carly Watters help Reese fight his way out of the deep hole of depression? Can there be a love story here?

“Eight Second Ride” was an interesting tale about the character Ethan, which has been alluded too in previous novels, and how God has truly transformed him from the inside out. In this novel we are draw out of Three Rivers, for the first time ever, where Ethan decided to rejoin the rodeo scene and meets the wonderful Brynn.

“The First Lady of Three Rivers Ranch” is the eighth novel in this series and is a wonderful story of home time goes backward and we read about the love story that began everything! Frank and Heidi have a story that stands strong through the ages, and I am so happy that Ms. Isaacson decided to go back and provide us with this wonderful tale.

“The Ninth Inning” is a very cute novella about the town’s boutique owner and the local cowboy. Andy wasn’t looking for love, had actually broken off one of the best relationships she had ever had, but Lawrence knew deep down that their love was meant to last. Through a little engineering and a few smooth moves, can this love be reunited?

“Ten Days in Town” was a different short of novella, it is not the “typical” Three Rivers story. We find Sandy, the pancake house owner wishing one moment she could fly far away and then another moment to forever remain within the comfort of her small town. Enter in her older brother and his best friend from college, jealousy flares from Sandy for the sort of life she wants when her brother becomes engaged. Can Tad, her brother’s best friend, be the one she has been waiting on?

“Eleven Year Reunion” is a novella that had my heart melting over the sweetest between second chances and first loves! Jon and Grace knew each other as high schoolers, but were separated by a twist of fate and a move. Through failures and sour endings, they both want a new start and to find happiness that they have both been desperately needing; there’s only one problem though, one of the doesn’t like Three Rivers and cannot wait to leave! Can God be calling this couple back together for their second chance?

“The Twelfth Town” is an amazing short-story about Taryn, a star reporter until something drastic changed her life forever. Now she’s running, whether from self-preservation or embarrassment, she has yet to figure out- all she knows is she has to get as far away from her past as possible. When she enters into the twelfth town in the past eight months she begins to feel a peace like she has never known before, one that suggests she might have found her true home, that is until a handsome cowboy throws her for a loop. Kenny is a happy, go-lucky former marine, who has been told more than once that he is just “too happy.” Can his forever smile and charms win over the miserable Taryn and let her finally feel safe?

“Lucky Number Thirteen” is a very well written tale, though shorter than most of Ms. Isaacson’s novels, and thoroughly enjoyable. To say the least, Three Rivers Ranch has went out with a bang and I am very sad to see this series come to an end. I have loved each and every novel with all having a five rating except for one which received a four. In this story you find the mysterious, selfish, Tanner Wolf. In previous novels he obtained the title of heart-breaker and trouble-maker; however, in this story our male lead has found the Lord and is trying to turn his life around to the path that it needs to be on. After a major tragedy, Tanner meets the marvelous Summer and hopefully she is the one that can heal him in more ways than one.
