I loved it so much! Levi needs a book!
So much love and adoration of the king of kings. These books were very good. I may have loved hunter's story the best.

Great stories
This box set is awesome. The Blackwater Ranch Hardings are a fantastic family. They are wonderful people and they are so welcoming to the women the Harding men fall in love with. I would recommend this series to any reader that enjoys clean cowboy romances.

Sweetest series of books
I can honestly say that when I would start reading this book I couldn't put it down. It was the best written series in a Christian faith books that I have ever read. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to read a series that is based on faith, love and hope. It has the best story line without all the normal sex thrown into a book!

Captivating series of romance among cowboys. Each story brought out the best of each character matching their deep needs with God’s best for them. Well written and entertaining.

Remembering the Cowboy
I've loved every Mandi Blake book I've read so far, and this book was no exception! The engaging interactions, heart-stopping situations, and lovable characters have me swiping the pages. Even the characters you vow to hate somehow are redeemed by the end of the novel!
Charmed by the Cowboy
It's official: I love Lucas! What a sweet boy, certainly up for "My Favourite Harding Award". 😜 And prickly, "keep your fortresses high" Maddie. She worked her way into my heart faster than Lucas's!
Mistaking the Cowboy
Wow-ee, what a way to meet a guy! Haley and Asher's initial introduction was unique, to say the least! I loved their friendly banter, the way they communicated like BFFs, and their support and understanding of each other even when others struggled to do the same.
Protected by the Cowboy
Another wonderful addition to the Blackwater Ranch series. I've been looking forward to Micah's story for a while now, and loved how his gruff exterior melted when Laney came on the scene, baggage and all. Laney's circumstances may have seemed hopeless at times, but when surrounded by the Harding family, she could overcome anything.
(NB I received an ARC of this novel.)
Keeping the Cowboy
I've been intrigued with Aaron since his first appearance in this series, and loved Levi's rambunctiousness from the get-go. As a home schooler, I also enjoyed this side of the story, although I admit Jade sounds like a much more energetic teacher than me. 🙊
I loved how Jade fit into the Harding way of life from day 1, and contributed above and beyond on the farm. She was a great match for Aaron, especially given his past.
(NB I received an ARC of this novel.)
Redeeming the Cowboy
I dived into this book with mixed feelings knowing this was the end of the Harding family saga. I've been enraptured reading this series, meeting new characters and "re-visiting" with loved friends.
But when it comes to this book? Mandi Blake saved the best for last. I've followed Hunter with interest since his first introduction, and have been anticipating his story. Mandi didn't disappoint! Felicity was a perfect match in many ways, and I enjoyed watching their tentative friendship flourish into much more. Both Hunter and Felicity had endured serious abuse and neglect as children/youth, but even these things couldn't stop them from pushing forward in life.
I also loved the final "bowtie" at the end of the book, visiting with all the previous main characters. Such a beautiful "sign-off" for everyone.
LOVED THIS BOOK! And this series. 😍 Excited for Jameson's book in the new Wolf Creek Ranch series.

Blackwater Ranch Book 4
My favorite part of this book was Laney finding her hope and faith. It was really inspirational out of everything she had been through. She also had a new family that loved her which is something she had always dreamed about.
I really enjoyed watching Micah take Laney under his wings and protect her. I also liked how he realized he wanted more from his life than just taking care of the ranch. The other members of the Harding family really added to the story. They were such a close knit family that really had each other's backs.
Book 5
This was another great story in the Blackwater Ranch series. This one focused on Aaron and his son, Levi. I liked Jade, the teacher Aaron had hired to homeschool his young son. Jade was a restless, romantic at heart character trying to find home. She was conflicted about changing her dreams of teaching in Scotland, where her grandparents lived. It seemed every few years she was moving to a new place and a new job. It was fun watching her realize it was all in God's plan.
Book 6
I found this to be another great book in the Blackwater Ranch series. I really liked returning to the ranch and I liked Felicity and Hunter and their story as it unfolded. They both had been through so much and I liked that Felicity was able to see the real Hunter and not what everyone else might see when they looked at him. I enjoyed that this book was full of romance, family, a little sadness, and a lot of suspense to make it a page turner that I could not put down. I am so glad the next book will be about Felicity's brother, Jamison who I enjoyed reading about in this book.
I received an advance copy of this set of books and I willingly chose to write an honest review.

Every story was exceptional. Great character development and editing. I loved the family dynamics and the closeness exhibited by each member. They were close and supportive but not smothering. Their love was unconditional. The parents were awe inspiring!
My favorite was the last story which also provided an epilogue for all of the previous books. None of the characters were perfect, none were pristine (except Levi). The faith of this family provided a unifying theme and a source of comfort when challenges and trials arose. Faith without being lecturing, demonstrating beliefs without being judgmental, loving unconditionally.
Highly recommended.

Each book in the Blackwater Ranch series focuses on a different son of Silas and Anita Harding. These are clean romances with some drama, a bit of faith, and sometimes some humor – such as Haley kissing the wrong brother. I had a chance to read all of the books individually over the past year. But this box set is a wonderful way to be able to read the entire set without having to wait for the next one to be released. At the end of book 6 is a short chapter wrapping up each couple and provides a great conclusion to the series. I highly recommend this series.

All of these stories are sweet and most have a bit of suspense.
There's a lot of heartfelt moments, sometimes over the hard stuff a character has gone through before the story takes place, and sometimes over the sweet way a main character or the entire family cares for the hurting one.
I loved every book in the series!

This is a a great set of books!! You'll meet several characters from the Blackwater Ranch, and fall in love with all of them!! Each book has it's own HEA, but you'll really want to read them all in order and ALL of them!! Stories of faith, forgiveness, redemption, are all covered in a wonderful way!!!

This is a wonderful set of sweet, heartwarming, Christian romances. I read each one as it came out and own the first five individual books. Ms. Blake writes uplifting romances of flawed people who, through God's grace, manage to overcome their issues and find true love. I know to start reading early because I can never put one down!

It's no secret that I love all of Mandi Blake's books. When I stumbled upon one of her books months ago I was hooked! I really loved this sweet series. I always love getting to see the relationship growth of the main characters from previous books as the series continues. 5 stars fully recommend!
November 6, 2021
I do love Mandi Blake's books, and this series was amazing! I loved getting to know each cowboy's story and how she made each story and relationship different and just what each needed. I highly recommend this series and all her books!

This is such a fun series. Clean storylines and great characters!
This family sticks together through all sorts of struggles. Their faith and dependence on God and family is encouraging.
*I received this series as an ARC reader for my unbiased review.

Stories involving romance, some getting a second chance with a first love and some finding love for the first time. Each involve their faith and family and a few have a bit of mystery and suspense added in. Great set.

Cowboys, Cowgirls , Horses and pickup trucks make a good love story.
Enjoyed my first experience with this author. The Harding men each found their special someone. Each man found the help mate that they needed Aaron found it for a second time and she became the one he and Levi needed. Asher and Haley made perfect harmony together. Loved each one of the Harding men. All of the couples had obstacles to get through. But love conquered all. Even with a few of them getting physically hurt in the process. Looking forward to Jameson story. Maybe Asa the sheriff will find love too again. I enjoy the stories about brothers finding their mates and also sisters as well. Mandi did a great job. Enjoyed seeing the front cover for each Harding brother story plus Hunter. There all great looking men. Mandi stories range up there with Liz Isaac son stories also Debra Clopton, Shanna Hatfield and others.

This is a real family with father's who leave a child or neglect them. Mother's who use drugs and abuse and neglect children. Then there is a family of strong faith in The one true God and His Son Jesus Christ. This family who lives at Blackwater Ranch, Silas and Anita, their five sons(six, counting Hunter).

Heartwarming Christian Romance Series
I read and enjoyed all the books in this box set. This ranching family works hard and loves deeply. Each story differs due to the personalities of each couple, their backgrounds, and the circumstances that bring them together. All of these men treat their mother well and have been brought up knowing how to treat the woman in their life as they ought. They all get their
HEAs. I would gladly read more from author Mandi Blake, even though I blame her for several nights of not enough sleep! I got my copy of this great box set through KU.

A binge-worthy boxset - you can't go wrong with this. Each is a stand alone book but best read in order, but isn't that why you are looking at a boxset anyway ! They are clean stories - with strong Christian morals. A picturesque ranch setting, and hard-working Christ loving cowboys.
The Hardings are a wonderful family, not perfect by any means. These stories weave a picture of community that is inspiring. Gives one a tiny glimpse of the love and kindness of the community we are called to in Christ.
Thank you Mandi Blake!!

couldn’t put it down
I love clean Christian books. This writer had me cracking up in areas, crying in others, and spellbound in other areas. I actually was so sad that I was at the end of the series. I made the last couple of pages last much longer than I needed to by getting up and doing other things lol. I am a new fan of the author, Mandi Blake now. Continue coming up with others like this please. Many blessings to you🥰
