Ah, young love. So intense and so unpredictable, a whirlwind like no other. Luc and Cate got swept up in love and when things ended it was a hard fall. That would've been the end of the story but when Cate walked out of the relationship she was carrying a secret with her: Luc's baby.

Fast forward a few years and Cate is raising a beautiful daughter named Ruby on her own. Cate has recently made another important step in her life, giving her life to the Lord. With this decision she knows she has to make things right. It's time to tell Luc that he's a father.

The Rancher's Surprise Daughter is the story of a family struggling to move past the pain of the past, and find a new normal, all for the sake of a spunky, spirited four year old. Love, forgiveness, and living by faith flow through the pages which weaves a beautiful tapestry. The ranch setting is idyllic, and you really feel like you know the characters.

Despite it being a sweet story, the pace is incredibly slow, and it did take me a bit to get through the entire book. If you're in the mood for a slow paced story about family, faith, and forgiveness then this is the perfect book for you! ( )
