Will Chance agree to keep the ranch or sell it?
The end of The Blackwell Brother’s Return is here with The Rancher’s Homecoming by Anna J. Stewart. This last book is about the fifth Blackwell brother, Chance Blackwell, and their ranch hand Katie Montgomery. Chance Blackwell is the deciding vote to keep the ranch or to sell it. He doesn't have time for the ranch as he is a famous singer who is trying to make a comeback. Katie Montgomery just wants to be able to work and live at the only place she has called home.
Chance Blackwell
The main male character is Chance Blackwell. He is the youngest of all the Blackwell siblings. Chance is also the only sibling that doesn’t like ranching and hasn’t been back home in over ten years. He is a father to a beautiful little girl, Rosie and a widow. His wife died almost two years ago.
What I like
I like that Chance took his little girl to meet both sides of the family all along knowing that he doesn’t belong on the ranch. He is also a great dad which I adored. He has a great connection to Rosie and been her sole world since his wife passed. Another thing that I like about Chance is that despite everything in him telling him to leave the ranch, he is still there trying to make it work.
What I dislike
What I dislike about Chance is that he knows how stubborn the Montgomery family could be and yet he didn’t wait to hear Katie's side of the story. The last thing that I don’t like about Chance is that he didn’t want his daughter to get attached to the ranch or her family. He never thought he would fall in love with the place that he tried so hard to leave.
Katie Montgomery
The main female character is Katie Montgomery, and she has a lot of explaining to do. Katie has been since the beginning, but we learn a lot about her in this book. All Katie has ever wanted to be is the foreman of the Blackwell Ranch and to be there for her dad. She also wanted to meet Rosie in person. The only thing stopping her from getting everything is the fact that Big E has left. Or has he really taken off?
Likes and Dislikes
What I like about Katie is that she is the one constant thing in all the books. She is the primary person running the ranch while Big E has run off to do whatever he is doing. However, Katie was the one that has kept the ranch running even with Big E was there. What I don’t like about Katie is that she didn’t tell Chance sooner about Big E's scheme.
Five Star
I am giving The Rancher’s Homecoming by Anna J. Stewart a five-star rating. She did a fabulous job of wrapping up this little series. Chance and Katie are perfect for each other and make a terrific team parenting Rosie.
