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.
