"Love Finds You in Sundance, Wyoming" by Miralee Ferrell

About this book:

  “Angel Ramirez is tired of living a lie. But can she live like a lady? On the run from a dangerous outlaw, Angel works her way across several states disguised as a boy and working as a varmint tracker and horse wrangler. After taking a job on a Wyoming ranch owned by a bachelor and his widowed sister, she finally reveals her true identity and must fight to prove her worth as a ranch hand while somehow discovering her role as woman. Hiring a woman doesn't sit well with Travis Morgan, and the dark-haired beauty is causing a ruckus among his cowboys. Just as Angel decides she'll never be able to please her boss, an unexpected surprise arrives from across the ocean and makes trouble on the ranch. Will Angel leave with the person who's come so far to claim her?”

My personal Rating-

I found this book to be a little too convenient at times. I never connected with either Angel or Travis. I wish she would have told the truth about her past and he just seemed like he was a perfect hero ready to save the damsel in distress. Definitely not my favorite in this series or by the author.

See y’all on Friday with a new review!

"Runaway Romance" by Miralee Ferrell

About this book:

  “When a reality TV star meets the reality of life, will it be her downfall or her salvation?
  Ann Stanway had it all—a starring role in a reality show, an adoring boyfriend, and a sparkling future with limitless possibilities. Until the rules changed and the life she’d thought was real no longer existed. Leaving L.A. seems like her only option, and she lands in Kentucky at a quiet Amish inn—as far removed from her past as possible. Now she knows what was missing in her life--peace, true friendship and, dare she hope, a man who accepts her for who she is--or at least who he thinks she is.
  Hunter Lewis is intrigued by the new woman staying at his friend’s Amish inn. Annie appears to be what she claims, but she’s secretive and won’t open up. He’s been burned by a woman before and can’t tolerate deception. But his interest in Annie is growing, and the attraction seems to be mutual—until something happens that makes Hunter question everything he’d thought was real. Dare he risk his heart, when he’s certain Annie is keeping secrets?
  Can their new romance withstand the pressure, or will Ann choose to run again?”

My personal Rating-

When I first heard the plot about this book, I became curious! It sounded like a fun and entertaining read. And “Runaway Romance” met those expectations.

There was a lot of Spiritual Content for a book on the smaller side. I’ll admit that it took be a bit to get into it (mainly because of Scott who thinks he’s all that and a bag of chips; well, let me just say, he ain’t.) I liked Ann, but found that Hunter could have been a bit more developed character-wise.

Overall, it was a cute read and felt like a movie script (which makes sense. ;)). I’m looking forward to watching the movie based on this book and reading the next book when it comes out.

See y’all on Monday with a new review!
