River's End Ranch #13
Welcome Wagon
Gwen Scott has run the bunkhouse at River's End Ranch for a few years now and feels like part of the Weston family. She can't imagine her life any other way and is content with the life choices she made that brought her to this point.
Gabe Grant is a successful judge in Oklahoma City, but feels like something is missing from his life. When he takes Amber's advice and books a vacation at the ranch, he has no idea that he's about to be reunited with the one who got away.
Sometimes fate--and the fairies--step in to fix the things that once went wrong . . .

Reviewed at Romance Is Ageless
Love is one of the most puzzling emotions. It’s not at all logical, it strikes without rhyme or reason. Unlike temporary infatuation, real love lingers even when lovers have to part for a variety of reasons. Real love stays hidden in the heart. And when a second chance comes around, it would be a foolish person to ignore it or the joy it can bring. Just ask the fairies – they know everything.
When Gabe decided to book his next vacation at River’s End Ranch Resort, the place where his good friend Amber had moved to when she married into the Weston family, he never expected to find a bit of his past. The voice who answered the phone was familiar, but it was she who put two and two together and came up with the surprising answer. Gwen was the woman who got away, or he let drift away back in their college days. Sure, he’d loved her and missed her over the years, but time and work had dulled the hurt that was always beneath the surface. And here she was, waiting for him at the last place he’d expected. Were second chances a real thing? Or was he simply wishing for what had once been.
Welcome Wagon brings two people back together to realize that love never dies, it simply goes into a deep sleep for a bit. Gwen is happy and satisfied with her life at the ranch. Yet when Gabe checked in the possibilities seemed endless. The spark was still there, and they’d see where it lead. I enjoyed Gabe and Gwen’s romance. Life happens, choices are made and we live with those decisions whether they were right or wrong. They have the chance to be happy together again. But there will be tough choices to be made, and a near tragic event that will make everything crystal clear.
If you love Romance, then the River’s End Ranch series should be on your reading list. Interesting stories, a beautiful setting, likable couples and secondary characters who already had their love story or are about to soon will capture your imagination and your heart. I would recommend this series to any Romance reader, but I’d also suggest that they be read in order. This multiple author series flows so easily into the next story, and the previous characters are never forgotten so knowing everything from the very start is the best entertainment value… in my opinion, of course.

Second chance for love at the ranch
I bought this book to continue my journey in River's End Ranch. It is about two college sweethearts meeting again many years later. They get a second chance to rediscover that they are still in love. No spoilers here but they have hurdles to go through before reaching marriage. It is interesting to see older lovers reunite. I remember this book if you like to read second chances at love and hope you enjoy this series enough to read more of the River's End Ranch books.

Lost love rekindled
I have enjoyed this series immensely, reading 3-4 stories at a time. Somehow I got out of order and am currently playing catchup. This one is an enjoyable, well crafted read. I encourage you to read them in order. The characters are easier to keep track of that way.
Gwen has been a fixture, albeit minor character, throughout the series. Gabe was a very minor character in Amber and Wes's story. Jaclyn and the fairies are very helpful in this HEA.
"...Was there anything more romantic than kissing the man you passionately love on top of the mountain overlooking the most beautiful valley in the world? She didn’t think so."

Second Chance at real love.
Oh this story will have you laughing and crying and falling in love with this amazing couple who triumphed over tragedy and the years apart. It's a beautiful story that I know you will love. Rivers End Ranch is the place people fall in love and fairies are always right.
I highly recommend this book and all of the ones in the Rivers End Ranch series.

HAPPY ENDING ROMANCE
Cute and entertaining second chance romance. Gwen is an integral part of the River's End family. A man from her past comes to the Ranch to recharge from his hectic life. Once they connect, they both realize they were meant for each other. A little drama, a helicopter trip help to cement their relationship.

Second chances
Is your first true love 💘real? Will the feelings still be there years later, even after several years apart? I say YES! Gwen Gabe were in love in college but schedules and time caused them to drift apart. He is going to take a vacation at the River's End Ranch and she works there. Great story line, I loved this book.

I enjoyed Gwen's story but the difficulty of reading a series by different authors is that little things don't come through on the books. For instance, in Lily's story, Gwen Bessie and Lily met up each week for Trivia night but then in Gwen's story they aren't around at all nor do they show up to support Gwen at the hospital. Again, a minor aspect but inconsistencies.

When & Gabe reunited after 10 years.
When Scott & Gabe Grant are both focused on their careers. They were college sweethearts. They meet again when he visits River's End Ranch. Great read.

Nice read
Good characters, they feel like people you know or would like to know. Storyline was good. A few things thrown in that made the story better. It was a perfect book to read on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Another good book
I'm really enjoying this River's End series, all the writing are different, but have a gift to bring everything together still. On my way to number 14.

Was a well written book about how Gwen and Gabe had both went to college to be lawyers. They drifted away from each other. After several years later they find each other again.

First eight chapters are good then the judge acts without reality. Even though he wasn’t supposed to talk about something doesn’t mean he couldn’t share it with Gwen? Really? Oh well, chapter 10 tries to recover his stupidity. Loved it 5

Gwen and Gabe (runs the bunkhouse and an Oklahoma judge)
March 25, 2017
This time is Gwen's turn, she works on reservations, and Gabe, a character we met when he was trying to date Amber. He calls to make a reservation and it turns out that he knows Gwen. This one is about second chances, an old romance that was rekindled. It starts pretty simple, and then gets complicated, but not in a bad way, just the normal weird things happening that some books do to keep things going the way it is supposed to go.
I liked the book, because they never had conflicts, they just drifted apart, with no bad blood between them stopping them from trying again. It's mostly their own minds and ideas what's keeping them apart, but everything works at the end.

Lovely
I'm getting close to the end of this series of books and that is so sad. These are the best books that I have read in a long time.
