The Unexpected Groom

Ms. McConnell takes a different tactic with this romance. 

Instead of following one couple, we're following mulitple couples and characters as things change at the ranch. I enjoyed having multiple points of view but the book didn't feel like Ellie's book. Her romance came off as the side romance to Olivia's. 

I had several unanswered questions at the end. 

This book felt more like the intro to a family saga series than a standalone. And perhaps that was the intention. Hook you into each of the characters, then continue reading through the Lime Peak series to get the answers. 

The writing is solid as always. I have read other books by her I've enjoyed more.

But Robert is holding back and Olivia can tell. The closer they get, the bigger the questions become.
