True to form, when his great-uncle leaves him property and a Victorian house in Chapel Cove, he takes a weekend drive, only intending to stay long enough to evaluate his new found assets.

The story both acquaints us with more of Chapel Cove while also taking us back to the familiar haunts we have come to love. I said this previously about the Chapel Cove series, and it is worth repeating: "The small town of Chapel Cove continues to capture the readers' hearts as each story reveals more of its charm & character with almost realistic people. These characters continue to captivate the readers' hearts & imaginations, taking us into their struggles, joys, & triumphs as they learn to turn to God & trust Him to use each of their lives' situations, even the hard times, causing all things to work together for their good, although they don't always realize that God was really in control." This story is another delightfully sweet, faith-filled small town romance with a touching insight into the loving heart of God, especially as our Father. It touches on life situations and circumstances that "skew" our view of seeing God for Who He really is and realizing how great His father-heart of love is for us. There are themes of forgiveness, overcoming distrust and false perceptions, returning to one's faith, how a closer relationship with God will enhance our other relationships, and learning to love our neighbors, friends, and family with a genuine love.

The themes that touched my heart the most are: We cannot outrun from the Father's heart of love... no matter how we try. The second one is that God loves us so greatly that it might compare to when the groom's breath is taken away by just by the sight of his bride - Might the sight of us take His breath away? What a thought! I can easily and highly recommend this to all who love sweet, clean, inspirational stories.

Oh, I loved Tash and Henry's story!! Tash is sure she's going to be single; not that it's really what she wants, but she can't see how she'd ever have time for a relationship. Henry's always thought he could never love someone. When he meets Tash, he knows right away she's someone special. Tash thinks Henry is definitely Mr. Wrong, so why does she keep thinking about him? Why does God tell her to love her neighbor? When Tash invites Henry to church, Henry goes just so he can spend the time with Tash. When he hears how much God loves him, it starts him thinking. When he leaves unexpectedly, Tash assumes the worst. When she refuses to talk to Henry, he knows why, and starts working on making things right. When he comes back to town, and finally admits how much he needs Christ, watch out!!

I received a complimentary copy of this book, was not required to leave a review, and the opinion expressed is my own.

Riding with real riches.

So both Henry and Tash had fears that consumed them for many years. I love how God can help people heal and deal with those fears, only in His strength. Riches of this world are nothing compared to God and His riches. Very well done!

“Ride with Me” is the perfect title for this story. Each of the main characters had an aversion to the other’s form of transportation. But that wasn’t the only thing causing tension between Tash and Henry, they seem to find ways without any help from anyone else!
Life can seem like it’s passing you by; sometimes you’re in the fast lane, and sometimes you’re moseying along. Both can be good.
In this story, we get to return to Chapel Cove and finally see what God has planned for Tash’s life.
Oh, I had fun reading this book. I loved all the banter with each and every one of these characters. The characters are written in such a way that they are real and believable. I’d love to meet them, but unfortunately, they’re all fictional!
Now this series is written by three wonderful authors and is one of my favorites to read for many reasons. Mostly, because it’s placed in my beautiful state and because I have been with it from the very beginning and will continue until these wonderful authors choose to draw it to a close.
They have made Chapel Cove so real I want to go there, HOWEVER, it’s not real. My mind knows this, but my heart wants it to be real so I can meet these wonderful characters.
If you want a fun series to read and to hear of a beautiful place called Oregon, then you need to pick this book and this series up.
I was given this book by the publisher which did not influence my review in any way, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Chapel Cove…the one community I have grown to love through story and look forward to walking about and learning more from the beautiful characters who reside there.
Tash’s story is no exception in the phenomenal stories that helps to make up this community.

In the midst of balancing life and a career, sometimes finding love can get lost. That is what happened to Tash, she was completely satisfied with her life and living alone until Henry on his Harley burrows into her neck of the woods. Do you believe in love at first site? I always have and that is what made Tash’s story extra special for me. It is the fairytale love we all dream of. Or so Tash and even Henry thought. Henry came into Chapel Cove to claim an inheritance he was left to examine it for the benefit of his fathers business. Neither he nor Tash was looking for love. Sometimes God’s plan isn’t always what we think He may put upon us, it can be even better. But hurt feelings and past tragedies get in the way of this fairytale ending. Finding the path Tash and Henry are meant to be on hits a lot of bumps and hearts are tangled. Can they find the peace their hearts need to fall in love? Ms. Marion has touched on some of the finest residents in Chapel Cove and given us a heartfelt story filled with love, compassion and forgiveness. A truly remarkable story!

Ride With Me by Marion Ueckermann is a delightful contemporary Christian romance. It is the tenth book in the Chapel Cove series but can be read as a stand-alone.
Once more Marion Ueckermann has created a marvellous cast of characters who will warm your heart. The leading lady is in her late thirties and the leading man is in his forties. It is great to read a romance where the characters are not in the first flush of youth.
Our pasts shape us – our fears have their roots in the past. We need to face our fears and take control so that we can move forwards.
There is the theme of fathers. We may have a fractured relationship with our earthly father but our Heavenly Father will never let us down.
We witness new life in the novel – literally and also spiritually as a new Christian is born. As with all new life, mentoring and encouraging growth in a new Christian are vital.
We witness a house in need of restoration. This is mirrored in lives who need a touch from God to restore them to their full potential.
I really loved Ride With Me. It was a warm, fun novel with Christian values at its core.
I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.

Ride with Me is the tenth book in the wonderful Chapel Cove series written by the wondaful Marion Ueckermann. I loved this story, I love them all. I honestly wasn't excepting it to hit me like it did. I love the Oregon Coast. Have many happy memories spent there. Love how the author captures that. I loved Tash and Henrys story. Two complete opposites. She rides horses, he rides a Harley. So loved how this story is woven and shown how unexpectedly and miraculously God can and will work in two bull headed people. He has a way of doing that.

My heart is full reading this story of Gods redeeming love in anyone of us. I just say please read and enjoy this story. It's so good to see old friends from the previous books. I can't wait until the next in the series. Please read, enjoy and be blessed.

Outstanding!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I felt the storyline somehow entwined with my life. The love and belief in Jesus opened up my heart, as it was lacking a deep rooted feelings of being alone. It was a great reminder to reaffirm my belief in Jesus that we are truly never alone.

This is one of those books that I so thoroughly enjoyed the 1st time I read it, even though it was the pre-publish TINY print, that I was MORE than happy to have an excuse to read it again a few days later. Again, it was tiny print. And now I’m enjoying the Kindle version that has print size options and I can highlight all of the many parts that encourage my heart the 1st two times that I read Tash and Henry’s beautiful (and sometimes hilarious) love story. If I had to pick what I loved best in this fabulous story, it might be watching God make Himself known to Henry as his Everlasting, Perfect, Loving Father. Especially as He uses a reluctant Tash to light the way!

Marion Ueckermann is a talented inspirational author. Tash and Henry are different from night and day; but they dance across the waves and ride their crests, until they embrace the gift of love given to them. Motorcycles, horses, small town life on the coast of Oregon (lighthouse included), reuniting with parents all blend together for a delightful holiday romance. The coastal Oregon setting is so similar to romantic Southwest Michigan. Marion Ueckermann's descriptions brings the characters, horses, Harley, and setting to life.

I loved the story of Tash and Henry! It was interesting to see how their love story progressed despite Tash's fear of motorcycles and Henry's fear of horses. Each had unpleasant memories and that is why they had this fear.

This book had many Scripture verses and I really appreciated that. I think it so important to give the reader hope and that can happen when you have belief in God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Tash had deep faith in God and Henry learned to trust in God. Henry also learned to forgive his father and that is so crucial to move on with God.

What a lovely story which started slowly and then near the end I couldn't put it down. The characters are believable and I could really relate to some of the things they did. The relationships developed and there were lots of surprises.

Marion Ueckermann is a wonderful inspirational author. In this book you read about horses, true friends and the loss of a close family member. Tash and Henry are different from night and day. Can they ever become friends. Marion will have you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. I had the honor to review this book for a honest review.

Marion Ueckermann has hit it out of the park once again with her new book “Ride With Me”! Two strangers who, for their own reasons prefer their own ride, but as secrets and emotions are unlocked, they learn so much more about each other! AND learn to hear The Savior in the process!

What a great story of two strangers meeting and falling in love with each other and with Jesus. I love that the each had their own preferred ride and a story that went with it and yet they both shared the the other ones ride with them. Such a great love story. Well done Marion.

Tash’s first time meeting Henry, finds her annoyed that his noisy motorcycle disturbed her horses. Being prompted to “love your neighbor” follows soon after. This is among my favorite stories, as I’m a horse lover, though I prefer Arabians. Tasha owns a Freisian and Appaloosa but boards other horses. Henry has just found out he’s inherited the place behind her, and is visiting to discover if it’s a viable place for another leisure hotel. Sparks fly, with Tash trying to convince him to leave the place alone. Page turning story, with great main characters, and of course we see a few townspeople, like the Brocks and Riley, Haddie and Julia.

I thoroughly enjoyed this quick read, a sweet tenderhearted romance between an independent, feisty woman and a wealthy man who falls in love with her. Both Tash and Henry have a secret or two in their past. As their feelings for one another evolve, secrets are shared, fears are overcome, and a sweet love story comes forth. I loved how Tash's faith wins Henry over to the Lord; without her being pushy or preachy, he wants more of what he sees in her. I highly recommend this and the entire Chapel Cove Romance Series!

Sweet and clean

This story features a theme of healing from past hurts and slowly learning to trust. There are some relationships that look impossible on the surface but you must never give up. Prayer and communication can help heal those who are broken. This is a good read.

Tash is living her life as she wants until Henry makes an entrance. She isn't sure what to think of him at first. Can he win her over?
