REVIEW: A Rancher’s Bride by Vivian Arend

KaetrinB+ Reviews / Recommended ReadsCanada / Contemporary / friends-to-lovers / horses / ranch2 Comments

Recommended Read

Dear Vivian Arend, Luke Stone, the third brother of the Stones of Heart Falls, and Kelli James, senior hand at Silver Stone ranch, have been dancing around each other for a while. It’s obvious to everyone else but Luke is oblivious to it, at least on a conscious level. Kelli ... more >

REVIEW: A Firefighter’s Christmas Gift by Vivian Arend

KaetrinB Reviews / Book ReviewsCanada / category length / Christmas / Contemporary / Firefighter / single mother2 Comments

Dear Vivian Arend, I was so happy you decided to branch out into holiday novellas as well as your full length romances. Although, A Firefighter’s Christmas Gift is really more category-length than novella, clocking in at around 140ish pages. There is something special about holiday novellas to me. I expect ... more >

Cowboy in a black hat with a tree in the background. Where the lower portion of the cowboy's black shirt would be, the picture morphs into two cowboys on horseback in the twilight.

REVIEW: A Rancher’s Heart by Vivian Arend

KaetrinB Reviews / Book ReviewsCanada / Contemporary / cowboy / nanny / single dadComments Off on REVIEW: A Rancher’s Heart by Vivian Arend

Dear Vivian Arend, I admit I’m a sucker for a single dad story. There is something (possibly something I ought not be proud of because patriarchy) that gets me all melty when there’s an engaged, adoring, single dad as romance hero. The nanny/boss trope can be problematic of course. Not ... more >

REVIEW: Rocky Mountain Home by Vivian Arend

KaetrinB- Reviewsbaby (non secret) / Canada / Contemporary / cowboy2 Comments

Warning: series spoilers follow Dear Vivian Arend, Fans (like me) of the Six Pack Ranch series have been waiting for Jesse’s book with bated breath.

REVIEW: Rocky Mountain Devil by Vivian Arend

KaetrinB ReviewsCanada / Contemporary / cowboyComments Off on REVIEW: Rocky Mountain Devil by Vivian Arend

Dear Vivian Arend, I’ve been a fan of your Six Pack Ranch series for a while. We are nearly coming to the end of the Colemans alas (only Jesse’s book is left). Rafe Coleman is the youngest of the “Angel Colemans”. His best friend since childhood is Laurel Sitko. Around ... more >
