Book Review of The Rancher's Courtship by Laurie Kingery


Book Review: The Rancher’s Courtship (Love Inspired Historical)

Author: Laurie Kingery

This was an enjoyable read about a woman mourning the death of her fiancé when her almost brother in law, a cattle rancher, comes to town. Caroline has given up on the idea of marriage and family; dedicating her life to the children she teaches but finds herself drawn to her former fiancé’s brother, Jack Collier. When he decides to leave his twin daughters in her care while he waits out the winter on an abandoned ranch outside town, Caroline finds herself falling in love.

My rating: Good

Young Reader Rating: 14

I hesitantly rated this book at age 14 even though I wanted to rate it at 13. Although there are no adult situations in the book, and only a few brief mentions of kissing, the heroine has three men vying for her attentions and she allows the preachers son to court her even though she is in love with another man. The rest of the story would be fine for younger readers but that situation made me hesitate to recommend it for readers 14+. I would still caution parents if their teens are impressionable.
