Horses, Heartstrings, and A Later-in-Life Romance Margie, a successful Colorado realtor, finds herself looking for a change of scenery and a dash of adventure after her only daughter embarks on a missionary journey, so she heads to Redemption Ranch to fulfill a long-held learning to ride horses .Meanwhile, Chaz, having swapped his tailored suits and executive boardrooms for the 'aromatic' allure of horse manure, relishes his new life at Redemption Ranch. The retired businessman and former CEO of Freedom Mountaineering now assists his brother on the ranch, his days filled with hard work, peaceful solitude, and bittersweet memories 

.When Margie arrives at Redemption Ranch, their lives intersect in the most unexpected ways. Amid horse rides and starlit conversations, they discover companionship and the tender buds of love in their twilight years .As Margie explores this unexpected turn, will she find a love she hadn't planned for?

Wooing the Widower invites you on a heartfelt journey of late-life love, faith, second chances, and suspense. Experience the blossoming relationship between Margie and Chaz as they show it's never too late to find—and embrace—love again despite those determined to interfere with their plans.

My Review:

Wooing the Widower was my first experience with a novel by Elle E Kay, and I ended up wholeheartedly enjoying this sweet romance that takes readers back for another visit to Redemption Ridge. This particular story is a little different than the others in that it features a romance between a (slightly) older couple, and I liked the originality that came along with this particular storyline.

Chaz and Margie have known each other for years, and more recently, they've become further connected when her daughter ended up marrying his son. At first glance, neither seems to see each other in a romantic light, but soon neither can deny the sparks that are beginning to fly whenever they find themselves together. However, with the connection they already share, is starting a relationship truly the best idea when the fall out could cause reverberating tensions amongst their families?

A sweet and heartfelt romance, Wooing the Widower gives readers a realistic tale about a couple that's brave enough to take a second chance at love while many obstacles stand in their way. With swoon worthy moments, suspenseful bits that keep the reader guessing, and a well thought out plot that revolves around an idyllic setting, this is the perfect book to pick up this holiday season for anyone who enjoys clean, faith based Christmas romances.

I applaud the author for keeping the faith element at the front and center, and I love the fact that she chose to include her personal testimony at the end of the book. This was another wonderful visit to Freedom Ridge, and I'd definitely recommend checking this one out.

Final Rating: 4/5.

Thanks so much to Elle E. Kay for allowing me to read and review this title!

I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own, and this is my honest review.

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

Announcing My Temporary Hiatus From Book Blogging

  Hello all my sweet bookish lovelies :) I pray you all had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to having a wonderful New Year's as well. I've shared a little bit of info over the past few months on my blog about why I wasn't around as often, but now it's time to share with you all exactly what that is. My hubby and I found out we were expecting earlier this year, and we had the immense pleasure of welcoming our precious baby boy into the world this month. Because of this, I've decided to take a temporary step back from book blogging and reviewing, while I adjust to being a first time mom to a newborn. I will definitely be back blogging in some form or another, but not sure at this point exactly when that will be as my little man deserves all of his mommy's attention right now. I thank you guys all for being a part of another wonderful year here on The Preppy Book Princess, and I look forward to jumping back into the Christian book community sometime in ...

A Refuge in Montana by Allie Pleiter Review

  Happy Monday My Sweet Bookish Friends :) It's been awhile, how have you all been doing? Originally, I had hoped to be back doing at least semi regular book reviews by now, and since I had an author offer me an ARC copy right around when I wanted to start trying again, I figured I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some health complications post partum (which I really don't want to go into at the moment), and my energy is just not where it needs to be at this point. I'm excited to get to share this review with you all as I did enjoy the title and would love to tell you more about it, but this will be my only review for awhile, at least until we can get everything figured out with my health. With that being said, let's dive right into today's review, but first if you'd like to check out my reviews of the previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below: Rescue on the Farm A Montana Sized Secret Otherwise, keep on read...
