Yarrow of the Rancher's Heart: Mending the Broken Heart
Catherine, a recently widowed holistic health practitioner and reflexologist, needed a change from her life.
A big move from Vermont to Montana put her smack in the middle of small town and small town business and people.
She wanted nothing more than peace and quiet.
What she is getting from Big Bluff, Montana, is everyone in her personal life!
Besides the fact that many people were not welcoming to anyone new in their town.
Then there is the grouchy, handsome, tall, single, landlord, Ty Henderson.
First, he wouldn't rent me the space that has been unoccupied for 3 years. Finally agreed to let me rent the space for my business.
Second, he seems to be interested in me, but in a very interesting way.
Third, obviously not interested enough, I need to go, to move, the people don't want me here and more importantly, Ty doesn't care if I am here or not.

Yarrow of the Rancher's Heart is a heartwarming and heartfelt story about starting over, finding a place to belong, and navigating unexpected connections in a close-knit community. Catherine, a holistic health practitioner from Vermont, takes a leap of faith and moves to Big Bluff, Montana, searching for a fresh start after a painful loss. But settling in proves to be more challenging than she anticipated.
As an outsider in this small town, Catherine quickly discovers that the locals are wary, and the transition isn’t as peaceful as she’d hoped. The biggest source of tension? Her gruff, rugged landlord, Ty Henderson, who’s initially reluctant to rent her the space she needs. Ty is the epitome of the classic small-town hero—tough, reserved, and carrying a bit of mystery. His initial resistance is frustrating yet intriguing, and their reluctant connection is beautifully complicated.
Catherine’s struggle to be accepted and Ty’s internal battles create a slow-burn romance that is both frustrating and captivating. Joy Rendall perfectly captures the push and pull between them, showing Catherine’s determination to establish her place while wrestling with feelings for Ty, who seems frustratingly inconsistent. The small-town dynamics bring charm and drama, adding layers to Catherine’s journey as she strives to build her business and find a sense of belonging.
Yarrow of the Rancher's Heart is perfect for readers who enjoy romance with a touch of realism, where the path to love is full of challenges and genuine growth. Catherine and Ty’s journey, with its small-town resistance, emotional barriers, and blossoming trust, offers a deeply satisfying read about resilience, self-discovery, and love that’s worth the wait.

I had a to answer a big question as I read this book.
Do widowed women recover this quickly?
This is definitely a really different small town vibe from a typical romcom. I loved the fire between her and her new not so friendly neighbours. Some of the interactions and exchanged words were unrefined, raw and realistic.
I enjoyed the relationship she shares with Desiree and Lilly (the perfect villain in this story) it was probably more interesting than the romance with Ty so it gave this short read much more to explore.
If you didn’t know much about ‘rodeo cowboys’ and ‘holistic herbs’ you will appreciate this book… even more if you take to the knowledge it has to offer. Obviously the author has researched these fields diligently.
The only thing I probably was confused about was how easily (and thank God for that) she was able to move on even though she travelled 2000 miles away from any memory of dear Stephen. I assumed moving on is far more difficult for most widows but… this could be a good thing for anyone going through the same journey to know there is still life while holding on a previous loss. The heart truly has the capacity for it all.
Speaking of the heart, this book has an interesting title and strangely it fits well with Catherine’s identity as a healer and Ty’s need for… (well I don’t want to spoil it further)
I thoroughly enjoyed the rawness in this book and how human Catherine is. She’s feisty, strong willed and a perfect fit for a town that’s extremely unwelcoming and non-gentrifying.
