Chef Bethany Davis needs a job. Ryder Quinn needs a Chef. But she'd never make his short list.
Bethany Davis has worked in some of the most exciting restaurants in New York City. She's from Quinn Valley, a small Idaho town and she hasn't been home for more than a few days in years. Her mother is sick and it's a blessing in a way that her restaurant just closed and she's out of job, because now she can take as much time as she needs to be with her mom. If she's going to stay though, she needs a job ASAP. But the only option available is at Quinn's Pub, owned by her first love, Ryder, and his sister Maggie.
Ryder tried to put Bethany out of his mind completely when she left him so many years ago. He's desperate for a good chef, but she is the last person he'd choose. He doesn't trust that Bethany is back for good and he's wary of getting too close and getting burned again.
Everyone else thinks they belong together. Will the two of them ever realize it?

I just love this series. I really wish I could go out and see Quinn Valley and sit at the bar or go and get some great home cooking. I love hearing Bethany and Ryder's love story. This is a fast read that will leave you feeling great. A really wonderful romance.
Once upon a time during their teen years Ryder and Bethany were a young couple in love, planning a future together. The reality was that while they would both go off to college for Ryder and Culinary school for Bethany, they knew what they wanted and needed for their careers. Bethany’s choice would take her away from Quinn Valley for several years as she perfected her talents in several top restaurants in Manhattan. She knew that to do what she was driven to do she had to leave. She always knew she would return but her decision was the break up moment with Ryder. He wanted marriage now, she wanted to wait. No one did anything horrible, simply their dreams took them in different directions… until Bethany’s return home, for good.
Ryder Revisited is an emotional and tender look at two people who once meant everything to each other facing their past, and perhaps their future, when Bethany returns home, in part to care for her mother, in reality it was simply the right time to come back. Watching Ryder’s displeasure slowly turn to respect, and then allowing the emotions to come flooding back to him was a sweet journey. True love stands the test of time, and works around the potholes that get in the way.
We’ll get to know some residents of Quinn Valley a bit better, catch a glimpse of some beloved faces from River’s End Ranch and settle in a little deeper into this new series that celebrates both the new, unknown and the previous much loved series as well. I enjoyed Ryder Revisited very much, and we’ll get a hint of a few romances yet to come. If you’re in the mood for a good romance, interesting characters and old friends, then you’ll enjoy the Quinn Valley Ranch series.
I read this title through my Kindle Unlimited subscription.
Couldn't put down. Bethany and Ryder are a fantastic couple. Breaking up after high school and getting back together years later is my kind of story. Glad it didn't take 30 years like my husband and I. I love all the characters in this series!!
I liked the first series of books, this one seems to flow well from that. I enjoy family-based businesses; good food; loving, caring communities; and happy endings. This has it all.
Sweet story. Bethany returns to Quinn Valley to help her mother. Getting a job at Quinn's she isn't sure how Ryder will take it. Ryder isn't happy Bethany is the new chef but he has to admit she is fantastic but this time he is keeping his heart.
28% read and I can't finish it. I didn't realize it 2as a romantic second chance story. I hate those as I don't think you can truely forgive the person who broke your heart. At rhis in the novel, I shoukd care about someone in the story, but I don't so I gave up on it.
Ryder and Bethany made a great couple at one time. Then she moved away. Neither one ever really dated anyone else seriously. Then she moved back to town and his mom hires her to work at his restaurant. This was a great read!
For those missing River's End Ranch these books are a must read!
Bethany Davis left Ryder and Quinn Valley years ago. When she goes back she gets a job at Quinn's Pub. Getting Ryder to trust she won't leave again is not easy. I love the tie ins to River's End Ranch series.
It's amazing what mellowing can do for a relationship. Ryder's forgiveness and love was evident in this new book and Pamela Kelley moved along at just the right pace. I enjoyed continuing their story.
Love is more comfortable the second time around. A couple in their mid twenties find their way back together, and a couple of seniors reunite after many years. Foodies will also love reading about the upscale comfort dishes and green drinks.
Bethany interviews with Marcia Quinn for a chef position at her restaurant. She wasn't, however, prepared to have, Ryder, her ex, as co-owner with his sister.
These are heartwarming stories that fuel your happy place ~
Quinn Valley is calling it's residents home. The place where family and friends know who you are what you like and offer their support to make home the perfect place to be.
Love this new series! Quinn Valley makes for a great happily ever after setting. This story is awesome. Can't wait to see how the rest of the relations work out!💖💖💖💖💖
Wonderful read with lots of feels. I loved the relationships between siblings and their mother, a mother and her daughter, and meddling older ladies. All of the characters come to life and I can't wait for the next book in this fabulous series.
I really enjoy second chance romance stories. This one is full of surprises for both Ryder and Bethany. It is a fun story, and I love all the things I learned about cooking!
Ryder/restuarant co-owner and Bethany/ chef I enjoyed reading this captivating story that is well written with charismatic characters. Their story has a sweet and complete HEA.
Quinn Valley is the newest place for romance. Especially for Rivers End Ranch readers. Mama Mia's is back. The fairies are here!!! And the ending is perfect. As it should be.
