CFBA: When All My Dreams Come True by Janelle Mowery

Song Stuck on the Brain: One Fine Day by The Chiffons. I don't know where I picked this up, but I've been singing it ALL day long. Good song though.

This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is introducing:

MY TAKE:

"I'll be dead in a minute. Maybe less." Great opening lines like that hold a lot of promise for the coming story. Janelle Mowery didn't disapoint, either. She held up that promise and delivered an action packed, sweet romance with a strong message. Just when you think you can take a breath and relax someone's getting shot again. I really enjoyed Bobbie and Jace's story and I look forward to reading book two in the Colorado Runaway Series when it releases. If you enjoy western romances with spunky, independent females, this is a great choice.


ABOUT THE BOOK:

Bobbie McIntyre dreams of running a ranch of her own. Raised without a mother and having spent most of her time around men, she knows more about wrangling than acting like a lady. The friendship of her new employer awakens a desire to learn more about presenting her feminine side, but ranch life keeps getting in the way.

Ranch owner Jace Kincaid figures the Lord is testing his faith when a female wrangler shows up looking for work. Bobbie has an uncanny way of getting under his skin, though, and he’s surprised when she finds a home next to his heart. But when his cattle begin to go missing and his wranglers are in danger from some low-down cattle thief, can Jace trust God, even if it may mean giving up on his dreams?

An adventurous novel of faith, hope, and love in the Wild West.
