His family committed a terrible wrong
Ben Blackwell wants to make it right
The last time Ben saw Rachel Thompson was when her best friend left him at the altar. Now Rachel’s suing the Blackwells over river water rights. Rachel’s a triple threat—rancher, fellow attorney and single mom—and Ben’s plan to win in court hits a snag when mutual attraction blooms. If he divulges a long-held secret, will his family forgive him? Will Rachel?
Will Ben be able to keep the water rights to the Blackwell Family Ranch?
The Rancher’s Redemption by Melinda Curtis is an excellent continuation of the Return of the Blackwell Brothers series. This one is about Ben Blackwell and Rachel Thompson two lawyers from two neighboring ranches. He’s one of the middle Blackwell brothers that had left Falcon Creek, Montana when he was twenty-seven.
Ben Blackwell
The male main character is Ben Blackwell who’s the twin brother to Ethan Blackwell that we met in The Rancher’s Rescue. Ben is the lawyer of the family. He had dealt with a lot of things five years ago when he left Falcon Creek. Ben’s also the one that won the river water right’s case between the Blackwell and Thompson ranches. He is back home again to deal with that same case, but this time he isn’t sure if he wants to stay in Falcon Creek. Despite what he feels for the beautiful Rachel Thompson.
Ben is a great person once he decides to tell the truth about a few things in the past. What I like about Ben is that he’s a great person. Once he makes up his mind, then it’s done.
What I don’t like about Ben is that he remembers what his grandfather told him over the years, even though he doesn’t like it.
Rachel Thompson
The female main character is Rachel Thompson who’s the best friend of Zoe Blackwell and Ben Blackwell. Rachel is a single mother, running her ranch, and the only partner of the Falcon Creek law office. She is running herself thin and needs help even if the assistance comes in the form of Ben Blackwell. The Thompson’s and Blackwell’s aren’t very fond of each other.
Rachel’s daughter Poppy is very cute. Poppy is the first person to trust Ben.
What I like about Rachel is that she is a great mother and is trying her hardest to keep her family’s ranch in the family. However, she is struggling a lot.
There isn’t much that I dislike about Rachel except that she lets her mom and grandma walk over her. But then again, they are family and help her with Poppy.
Five Stars
The Rancher’s Redemption by Melinda Curtis is a fabulous story, and I love this book. I hope that everything works out for them and Poppy. Ms. Curtis did a great job with the subplots and creating these two awesome characters. I truly recommend this book along with the others in the series.
Anyways until the next time enjoy this review brought to you by
About Melinda Curtis
Traditional Bio
Although Melinda has lived in Georgia and Texas, she’s a California girl at heart. Her earliest memories are of life on an isolated 50-acre sheep ranch in rural Sonoma County, California. Picture rolling hills covered in brown grass, a eucalyptus forest, a long gravel driveway lined with plump sheep and no sidewalks. It was a big deal to drive into town on a one-lane road in a ramshackle, bubble-fendered pickup for an ice cream.
Flash forward to this century. Melinda lives in California’s hot central valley with her husband – her basketball playing college sweetheart. With three kids the couple has done the soccer thing, the karate thing, the dance thing, the Little League thing and, of course, the basketball thing.
Melinda writes sweet to medium heat contemporary romances as Melinda Curtis and red hot reads as Mel Curtis. She loves writing romances about women who don’t realize how strong they are until a hero comes along to show them, while capturing the wry humorous power struggle of falling in love – because, really, who lets the man have the last word?
