Romance
Grandmothers come in all types, sizes and ages but the one
thing they have in common is the unexplainable instant love
for their grandchildren. There is no denying the amazing
breach of your heart when meeting your grandchild for the
first time. All the love you have for your children is now
exponentially multiplied beyond any type of understanding.
Ask any grandma and she will totally concur.
This love is at the center of this latest story in Winter's
three part Daddy Dude Ranch series. This absolutely
selfless love is what makes Alexis decide to take up the
offer of a week stay with these ex-marines who have taken
on a mission to help children and spouses of servicemen who
have paid the ultimate price in the course of their
military service. In the true sense of the matter the
invite had come addressed to her daughter Christy and
granddaughter Jenny but Alex was now the legal guardian and
hope that this trip would be a little respite for both of
them. They both needed to start getting past this enormous
grief and start moving forward if possible. Alex had
started seeing a man but was very aware of Jenny's
reluctance to get close to him.
Alex had never married. She was a single mother to Christy
and now finds herself back in the saddle so to speak having
unhesitatingly become a single Nana to Jenny after
Christy's passing. Her first love literally turned his back
on her but Alex provided very well for her little family.
She was comfortable in her relationship with a man she
worked closely with but every woman is looking for more
than that. Even if they are truly unaware of that personal
quest.
The dude ranch had so much to offer. The personnel's goal
was to simply provide an entertaining week filled with
riding, fishing, hiking, camping and just good fun. Every
child and parent was made to feel special and welcome. Buck
was the personal host for this latest family. And Alex was
certain all his attention was part of the role he played at
welcoming the latest recipient of this amazing gift. Surely
this handsome young man didn't have any designs on the
grandmother of one of their special guests.
Time will tell but love knows no bounds.
I was so delighted to get the chance to read and review the
next book in this heartwarming series. Of course each book
stands alone but it's been quite a journey following the
stories of these valiant retired soldiers who just keep
giving. The marine's slogan is no man left behind. And
Rebecca Winters has taken that an extra step including the
families of these brave men and women.
Winters is a treasure and I am pretty sure this series is
going to garner a whole new set of fans. She is a talented
writer with a gift of gab that she infuses in her
characters. Get ready to laugh and cry with the best of
them.
SUMMARY
It's Never Too Late Wounded in love and war, ex-marine Buck Summerhayes wants to
put the past behind him. He finds peace working at the Teton
Valley Dude Ranch, a special place for families of fallen
soldiers. Maybe one day, he'll have a family of his own—
right now he can't afford to indulge in dreams. Alexis Wilson is no dream. Tasked with overseeing Alex and
her young ward during their visit to the ranch, Buck finds
himself falling for both the woman and the little girl. Like
Buck, Alex has had more than her share of heartache. But
maybe between them, they can build a future that's still
full of possibilities.
