About the author
Linda Ford
209 books358 followersLinda Ford grew up devouring books and making up stories in her head—often late at night when she couldn't sleep. But she hadn't planned to write. Instead, she dreamed of running an orphanage. In a way, that dream came true. She married, had four homemade children, adopted ten and lived (at times, endured) the dream.
Writing first took her to non-fiction human-interest articles for newspapers and eventually a non-fiction book about tuberculosis set in the 1930s and 1940s (Touched By The White Plague). But romance had always been her first love and she turned to writing love stories. She is multi-published in the CBA market.
She lives on a small ranch in Alberta, Canada, where she can see the mountains every day. She and her husband continue to enjoy their children and grandchildren.

Good but not as the ones before
The beginning I was not really a fan of. I don’t remember much about their interaction in the previous book and I don’t know why what Sam did to his sister made Yvette not like him. I get she has trust issues and is friends with his sister but it doesn’t concern her at least in my eyes. Then the kidnapping happened and I was felt eh about it because I didn’t expect that. Also the repetitive thoughts they had. Her not trusting him and him thinking he is not good enough.
Now for the good things. I really did enjoy the last half. It was just so sweet and ugh so good! There was enough interactions between them to grow feelings for each other and wondering how the other felt. the tension of what happen to the kidnapper. And then giving a home and family to those sweet boys after what they though.
Can’t wait to read the next book!

Sam and Yvette 💞
Yvette is a spoiled rich girl. Sam is a simply cowboy with extremely low self esteem, and almost no confidence in his self-worth. Can two polar opposites come together?
Loved the Scripture references and the strong faith these two shared. Tad and Gil…my heart went out to those two little guys.
I loved how Yvette took to them so quickly.
Sam, towards the end, got on my nerves a bit with his reluctance to man up and admit his feelings to Yvette. But, I understand when you’ve been degraded most of your life, you don’t have the confidence you need.
Sweet story ❤️

I really enjoyed the book. It was intriguing, yet had drama and some romance.
You take one pampered young lady who was not impressed with her friends brother. While the brother doesn't understand the friend. There in begins a complains events that leave 2 children who have suffered greatly by an uncle. You add our 2 adults who are Kidnapped by the uncle.
There in you mix a little of this, and some of that and it makes a family.

Love wins
Yvette a girl that Blackie kidnapped her and held her for ransom from her rich parents. Sam a Cowboy who was supposed to deliver her to meet two people to take her home, but instead she was kidnapped and held hostage. I don’t want to give this away, but it’s really an awesome book. I highly recommend this book.

Keep it all in Prayer
Great adventure with lots of danger and problems but it all worked out with God's help. Sam and Yvette needed to overcome disparate backgrounds and the adventure gave them reason to do the work to overcome the issues. Their common ground was a good upbringing with attention to scripture as the centerpiece. That also really helped a lot.

Money Isn't Everything
Very nice story of how money can be harmful. A pampered girl from money finds herself in a harmful place. Only her friend's brother won't let her be seriously hurt by a man wanting money from her wealthy father. Another one of the authors heart warming stories.

Good book
I loved how all the boys came from either an orphanage or they lost their parents and the couple that adopted them treats them like their own. I would recommend this book to all and must read the whole series. I love reading Linda Ford's books.

By far my favorite cowboy, his book didn't take place on the ranch, there were many trials to overcome with being kidnapped and having to deal with abuse. This is the best book so far

Sam and family
As usual Linda made you to keep guessing. The family has grown. I enjoy every book Linda Ford written. She always has the families who love the Lord. She is a great Christian.

This is the best of this series so far, and they've all been good. It had a good bit of excitement, and was less predictable than a lot of this type of book.
