The Wedding Ranch by Nancy Naigle

💖💖💖💖💖
The Wedding Ranch by Nancy Naigle is an emotional story of loss, rebuilding as well as learning how to forgive and love once again. For Lorri Walker, married bliss was a myth. Lorri wasn’t miserable in her marriage, but it wasn’t fun and games either. Her marriage to Craig was bordering on mundane. Until one day Craig brings home a mastiff puppy as an offer to repair their relationship. It helped for a while until Craig leaves Lorri for their puppy trainer. After her divorce is final and hoping to start anew, Lorri moves from the busy city life of Raleigh to Dalton Mill. Dalton Mill is a new subdivision in farm country, where each house is on five acres; perfect for working from home, and close enough to farmers markets, county fairs and space for her huge mastiff dog, Mister, to run around. It didn’t take Lorri that long to enjoy what country style living had to offer: friendly neighbors, farm fresh produce, and quiet. Ryder Bolt is unhappy with his parent’s decision to sell a portion of the family farmland to a developer. He is also still grieving the loss of his wife and son; killed by a drunk driver. Ryder continues to work his share of the land, allowing his twin niece and nephew to operate a wedding venue, event center out of his old barn. 


Part of country living is experiencing the county fair. Lorri was so engrossed in the activities around her at the fair, that she failed to notice the steer that had became loose and was heading straight for her. Luckily someone else noticed, tackling Lorri, moving her to safety. That tackle by Ryder might just have been the best thing that ever happened to them. Meeting Lorri has Ryder revising his stand against dating. Despite these two not looking for a relationship, spending time getting to know each other helps them with overcome their baggage of the past, rise above obstacles set in their way move forward, as they heal their past hurt and find forgiveness not only for others but themselves as well.


Ms. Naigle really captured the sense of community and the small-town feel in this story as Lorri and Ryder find that you can have a forever love with more than one person.. This is a faith based, sweet and emotional story. The amazing cast of supporting characters added to enjoyment of this story which kept my attention from beginning to end. I highly recommend The Wedding Ranch to other readers.  


I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
