Thank you to the author for the ARC of Willing to Wed the Rancher by Jody Hedlund. All opinions are my own. 

This is book two in the High Country Ranch series, and it’s just as good as book one! As soon as I finished reading book one, I immediately started reading this book because I loved the characters in this series. 

This book had a swoony romance with elements of danger, mystery, and a focus on family. 

The chemistry between Clarabelle and Franz was amazing! From their first meeting, I could tell that they would be great together. 

Clarabelle was such a sweet protagonist, and I loved that she had a servant’s heart. She was willing to sacrifice her time and future plans to take care of children that were not her own. 

Franz was such a charming love interest, and I enjoyed seeing him spend time with the children and Clarabelle. 

Besides the romance, I liked the elements of danger and mystery in this story. I wanted to find out what was going on, and I liked not knowing what would happen next in the plot. 

I will say that the ending felt a bit rushed to me, and it was more open-ended than I would prefer. I hope that the author circles back to these characters within the rest of the series because I want to know what happens to them! 

Overall, I would recommend this book if you like closed door romances with amazing chemistry. I’m so excited to read the next book in this series!
