The Bull Rider's Secret by Jill Lynn Review

Happy Monday Everyone :)

I hope you all had a great weekend, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess.

For today's review, I'm excited to share a review for a book that's the third release in a series of which I'd already read and loved the first two books. I'd been anxiously awaiting getting to read the third book, and I was beyond belief excited when I got to advance read it before it's publication date. If you're interested, you can find my reviews of the first two books here and here

Which is the bigger mistake: falling for Jace again…or letting him go without a fight?

My Review:

Very rarely do I ever read an entire series where I enjoy each installment equally. Usually one or two of the books will stand out as my favorites, and the rest I'll find while still good, aren't quite as good as the others. However, I can honestly state that each book in Jill Lynn's Colorado Grooms series is amazing, and after I've now finished the third book, I can't even pick a favorite.

I was anxiously awaiting Mackenzie's story. I'd really enjoyed her as a character in the previous books, and I was expecting pretty great things from it. I'm happy to say that Jill Lynn has definitely delivered the amazing story that Mackenzie's character deserved, and I'm already looking forward to rereading this entire series.

Mackenzie's always been known as strong and unbreakable. She'll do whatever it takes to help her family, and to keep her family's dude ranch operational. However, this season, their may be one thing she's unable to do for the sake of her family's ranch. When her twin brother hires her ex-boyfriend, the only man Mackenzie ever truly loved, to help the family out during a transitional year with new staff, she's not sure that she's going to be able to handle it. Jace Hawke broke her heart when he left her without a proper goodbye, and she's never been able to allow herself to truly forgive him for doing so.

However, as Mackenzie and Jace put aside their differences and past hurts for the sake of Wilder ranch, feelings start to reemerge between the two of them. With a complicated past, and an uncertain future, Mackenzie's not sure she can truly trust her heart once again to the man who left it in a million pieces the first time around. With God's help, Mackenzie and Jace might just get their happily ever after after all.

With strong familial ties, witty and well developed characters, plots twists and turns, and faith at the core and center of the story, The Bull Rider's Secret was everything I was hoping for and more. It goes without saying that Jill Lynn has become a new favorite author of mine, and Wilder Ranch and its various occupants have become near and dear to my heart ever since I picked up the first book to read. I adore Jill Lynn's refreshing writing style, and the way her stories always captivate me right from start to finish. 

I couldn't have enjoyed this more, and Colorado Grooms is without a doubt my favorite Love Inspired series of all time. I can't wait to see what this author is going to have in store next for her readers, and I expect to see more great things from her in the future.

Final Rating: 5/5

Thanks so much to the author and the publisher for allowing me to advance read this!

I received a complimentary copy of this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I was not required to give a positive review.

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Inheritance

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you're all had a great week and that you're staying safe no matter where you are. I haven't been leaving my house much lately other than for work, and because of this, I've had lots of reading time on my hands. Last year my hubby and I took a road trip that included a visit to our favorite bookstore, and we decided to each pick a book that wouldn't be our first choice. The purpose was to try and read something that still interested us, but would maybe be a bit different than what we would typically go for first. My pick ended up being The Inheritance by Michael Phillips, a book I actually ended up being quite excited about, despite never having heard of it prior. Unfortunately, it ended up sitting on my bookshelf ever since, and I'm so thankful I finally got the opportunity to pick it up and start reading it this past week. The Inheritance by Michael Phillips: About the Book: The death of the clan patriarch h...
