This is the first time I've read a book by Julie Lessman. I really loved this Christian romance with a western setting in Virginia City, Nevada. There are two main couples whose stories we read about in this book.

The first couple, Finn and Libby were introduced in a previous book. The author does a great job of filling in the blanks if you haven't read the first book. This book really stands on it's own. They were previously married and have been apart for 17 years. An interesting serious of events bring the two of them back together, whether they want it or not.

The next couple, Blaze and Maggie were actually my favorite. Their dialogue back and forth will leave you laughing so hard. Their chemistry in the book is undeniable. They both are a lot alike in what they want and don't want and this gets in their way a lot. Their first meeting is one of the best and funniest scenes I've read in a book this year. Honestly, I wish I could share it with you but I don't want to spoil the fun for you.

This book does have many Christian themes running throughout it's pages and they go along with life changes and lessons that the characters learn. I thought it all was beautifully written. There is a level of hotness when it comes to several of the kisses between our couples in the book, but it never goes farther than that; so this book would be under the label of a clean read. This book is best described by the author herself whose tagline is: Passion with a Purpose, putting romantic passion in it's proper place with God's precepts.

Lordy be, another hit from one of my top three favorite authors! Ms. Lessman has brought us back among the Silver Lining Ranch and threw us in the middle of more fun loving characters, more laugh out loud quirkiness, more amazing inspiration. This novel holds deep meaning to me, because one of the characters in this book is named after my own sweet mama, who passed away in 2014. She was my reading partner in crime, and this book made me feel as if she and I were reading it together. I know my mama would have loved this book, this whole series really, and would say that Julie Lessman is one of her top authors as well!

From the start, Maggie and Blaze's banter and wit really flew off the page. I fell in love with both of them instantly! I love how the sparks were strong between them. I could feel their connection like it was my own. I loved following their story and watching them fall in love.

I love that Mrs. Lessman brought Liberty and Finn in again! I loved them in the prequel, For Love Of Liberty, and I loved them here, too! These characters are so full of love and fun that they really bring the story to life, making it play out more like a movie than a book. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us with the next novel! I know it will be amazing because not only will we get a new front line story, but we will get to catch up with Liberty, Finn, Maggie and Blaze again!

If you are looking for a beyond 5 star book that will make you laugh til you cry, make you feel like you have come home again, make you a part of the family, then look no further than this novel. The love that Mrs. Lessman has for her God, her characters and her books flow into the words on these pages and truly make the reader feel like she wrote the book just for them. Mrs. Lessman has once again capture not just my heart, but my soul, completely and I can't wait til this book is sitting on my shelf next to all the other amazing Lessman novels.
