My review:  The Rancher's First Love by Brenda Minton (Martin's Crossing #4)

4 STARS

I have enjoyed reading this series Martin's Crossing.  The Rancher's First Love is book #4.  It is a emotional story.  We meet Samantha Martin. 

Sam is back home.  Her brothers sent her away when she was a teenager.  They did what they thought was right.  Sam has a hard trusting that people will not leave her. She is a nurse working with children.

Remington Jenkins was the ranch hand that Sam was in love with that her brothers caught them together.  Remington was kicked off their ranch and sent back to his parents. Remington has moved back to Martin's Crossing to help his family. I love his horse John Wayne.

Sam and Remington have to forgive each other and their families.

You meet some new characters and see a bunch from the first 3 books back.

This is a Christian romance.  A lot about prayer that fits so well in the story considering Remington is the new pastor.

The characters felt real.  They had weakness and strong characters.  They cared for those around them.

I have enjoyed reading the first 5 books of this series this week and look forward to reading more books by Brenda Minton in the future.

I was given this ebook to read by NetGalley and Harlequin.  In return I agreed to give a honest review of The Rancher's First Love.
