Back in the Saddle is book one from the Double S Ranch
series by Ruth Logan Herne. Ex cowboy Colt Stafford returns home to his family’s
ranch, Double S Ranch, in Gray’s Glen, Washington, after his career on Wall
Street in Manhattan does not work out as he had hoped. He finds some new
surprises at the ranch upon his return to the ranch – his father, Sam, is not
doing well; he meets the new housekeeper, Angeline, who is a beautiful, gun
toting and secretive woman; his brother, Nick, is not happy with older brother’s
return. Will these surprises make him run far away from the ranch or will new
promises on Wall Street make him run back to Manhattan.
Back in the Saddle is the first book I have read by Ruth
Logan Herne. I kept thinking this book would be what a modern day story by Mary
Connealy would be like. I found myself laughing out loud in several scenes,
including within the first few pages, which caught my interest instantly.
Angeline was probably my favorite character. I just loved her strength as a
woman and loved her scenes with Colt. They both needed find themselves and figure
out where they belong.
I enjoyed this book and look forward to more by this author
and cannot wait to the next installment in the Double S Ranch series.
4 ½ stars
I received this book from the Blogging for Books program. This
review is 100% my own honest opinion.
