Gabriel brings us back to Coral Canyon to visit with the Young family. Gabriel and Hilde finally start dating but the problem with him living in Jackson Hole during the week and only being in Coral Canyon on the weekends was going to prove a problem. When he is in Coral Canyon he and Liesl live in a three level townhouse. He is building his business in Coral Canyon as he did in Jackson Hole. Hilde has her furniture store that is the largest outside Jackson Hole. She has worked to make it profitable and is proud of it, so much she would not consider moving to Jackson Hole. Liesl starts kindergarten this year. That is another problem he is going to have to make a decision on.
Country Quad goes out on their tour with their families to promote their new album with Morris as their manager. Before they finish their ten week tour, they are given a new contract with more money to make another album. This is the first time Country Quad has been on tour since Tex, Trace, Otis and Morris has been married and none of them wanted to go without their family. When they finish the tour they make a grand return at a family party to welcome them home and celebrate Liesl 's fifth birthday.
Blaze and Faith finally get married in a beautiful ceremony. Faith has changed Blaze from the dark person he was, to one of the brothers that the others come to. He is always ready to help. Faith will make a great wife to Blaze, step-mother to Cash, and a fine edition to the Young clan. At this point Luke, Jem and Gabe are the only remaining single Young's. If Gabe gets his wish, he will become a married man with Hilde by his side and they can merge their families to include Liesl and Lynnie and hopefully some more children. Hilde reminds Gabe the difference in their age is going to become another issue with wanting more children. Gabe has a way of making things and people come around to his way of thinking. The question is can he get Hilde to come around to his way of living?
I received an advanced copy of this book for my review. I give Gabriel 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!

I liked Gabe and Hilde. I could understand her concerns about her age difference. I was glad she was able to put it behind her. Gabe and Hilde had a slow burn romance. I enjoyed the journey, as they worked through their insecurities, hesitations, and difficulty in making certain decisions. They were very different yet they complimented each other.
I also liked that while Gabe and Hilde were the primary couple, we were provided updates on the already married brothers, spouses, and kids. Then there were the glimpses into what was going on with the remaining unmarried brothers.
I appreciated that the relationship was not always smooth or easy. I respect that the author includes the characters faith in their journeys. She does it in such a way that it is not being pushed on the reader, it just is part of her characters lives and their HEA.

This series is the BEST! Gotta love those Young bros. Big, loud and boisterous and so ready to love with their whole hearts. Gabe is a very successful lawyer dadvocate with a little girl who’s the most precious thing to him. And he’s had his eye on Hilde, a successful furniture store owner who’s 12 years older with a 14- year old daughter. She struggles with the age gap a whole lot more than he does. It’s so good to see Gabe integrating into his family and finding his place. I’m loving the continuing saga of the brothers with an emphasis on the ones still single. We even get to see cameos of Bryce as he continues to find himself. This is Christian themed but not preachy and each acknowledges the warts and mistakes of the past but with a wonderful brotherhood and love of family in the present.
Clean, I received this as an ARC.

I adored seeing the softer side of Gabe. We’d gotten very familiar with the curmudgeonly advocate, so it was very special to see the devoted family man behind that tough outer shell. I really enjoy the way the author weaves all the different individual stories of the Young family members together to make something more comprehensive and complex; a tapestry of their tragedies and triumphs, if you will. And I particularly liked that even with all the other family members taking part in this story, Gabe and Hilde are clearly the heart of this book. I had so much fun watching them overcome their old relationship habits and learn to connect with one another. I can see the healing that’s starting to take place in this family, and I can’t wait to read more about it.

Love how when you read about one of the Young brother’s story, the other brothers’ stories are embedded. I love how you find out how things were turning out for those brothers whose stories you already read or get a sneak preview of the brothers whose stories will you read. What fun and a rare talent to keep it all together by the author. That is one huge family that really loves each other.
When Hilde said that Gabe was the “mean”, I had to think what? When it was explained, I thought wow, never realized that was a thing and that I actually know someone who is a “mean”. I enjoyed how Gabe made Hilde feel so loved and how well he got along with Lynnie, her daughter. It was fun to read about how a closed mouth, buttoned up attorney could remake himself by falling in love.
Looking forward to reading about the couple of stories I have left to read.

Gabriel is the youngest son in the Young family and is the featured cowboy in Book 6 of the Coral Canyon series. This is also my first book to read in the series. Technically, it is a stand-alone novel but I kinda got lost in all the family members as well as the personal dynamics between brothers. One would definitely benefit from reading the other books in order to achieve greatest enjoyment.
As with all books written by this author, the reader will be entertained with a clean, inspirational romance. Gabriel delivers all of those things and more. It is a rather long book but I wouldn't cut out any of it to save word count. This reader was treated to a wonderful romance that evolved over time and I loved it!

You’ll love the Young Brothers! Gabe is one of the youngest lawyers in Wyoming and he falls in love with Hilde—who is eleven years older. This story explores the insecurities that arise with such an age difference. They have to think about the challenges of becoming a blended family with a teenager and a special needs child. Of course they have the support of all of the Young brothers and their families. Country Quad finally goes on tour in this story. The main characters in this series are more mature and they all work to deal with their past failures while seeking God’s will. Don’t miss this new clean, inspirational romance series from Liz Isaacson! (This is a standalone book. But if it is your first book in the series, I recommend starting at the beginning!)

If Gabe/Gabriel Young is interested in older women, I’d like to join the line. I mean handsome, good father, super smart, rich and committed to a relationship with God, what more could you want? I’ll be the first to admit he does need an attitude adjustment at times but that seems to be par for the course for the members of the Young family not part of Country Quad. If you haven’t read the previous books in the series, Liz Isaacson does a good job of bringing you up to date with the other members of the family. There are a lot, Gabe had 8 brothers plus their significant others and children. I do hope when the series ends the is a box set. I have really enjoyed the series and would like to have all the books in one place.

Gabriel is one of the younger Young brothers, he's also Morris' twin, he met Hilde at one of his brothers' weddings and tried to go out with her, but things kept getting in the way, not least the fact that he didn't live locally.
Then they managed a date, but she's very concerned about the age gap, he's quite a bit younger than her, he has a young daughter, who he doesn't want to introduce until things are a little more serious. She has a teenage daughter so has told her what is going on.
Things are going well until he decides to move back to be nearer his family and her, she seems to get cold feet, or is it something else?
A good read from Liz, not many brothers left!

I really enjoyed Hilde and Gabe’s story. There are many difficulties they have to overcome and Hilde’s biggest concern is the age difference between them and she struggles with this and other concerns regarding her worthiness. Gabe struggles with introducing her to his daughter but also with the traveling between his two work/home locations. This is a gentle romance and I like that the story doesn’t solely feature the main couple and their issues but focuses also on various aspects of the lives of all the brothers which actually makes you feel part of the family and more involved in the overall story. I do love these cowboys.
April 18, 2023
What a wonderful story, Gabe and Hilde are such a fantastic couple, at first I wasn’t sure about the age gap between Gabe and Hilde, she is almost 12 years older than him but the way that Liz brought them together and how they had to work through difficult feelings and obstacles made this a beautiful story. Their two daughters are so cute and loveable. I loved how the beginning of the book has a list of the whole big Young family and I also loved how the book covered other members of the Young family so we can see how things have changed for them as well. I really enjoyed reading this story, it is one I highly recommend as well as this whole series.

Another wonderful Young brother story. Gabe, the youngest of the brothers, is a successful lawyer with a young daughter who sometimes doesn't feel like he fits with the rest of the family. As he meets and begins dating a store owner in Coral Canyon, his ordered life is turned upside down and he finds himself needing the support and love of family. I love the Young family, with all their quirks, and the way they all rally around when one is hurting and needing support. These stories are never about just one person, but the whole large, loud, amazing family. I can't wait to read about Gem and Luke.

This book grabbed me from the very first page. I did not want to put it down (and I've been trying to cut back on my reading, which was ALL THE TIME). I loved the characters and all their varied personalities. I loved how you got to meet ALL the family. This was the first book from this series that I read but will be going back to read all in the series so far. I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to see Gabriel finish his story. This may be ongoing in the series, but since this was my first, I will have to wait and see. I loved this book and can't wait to read the rest. I highly recommend!!!

I really like the Young family, they all seem to have some issues that make them so relatable. This next installment in the series is just wonderful. Gabe and Hilde are both characters that have a history. Gabe is young in age but old in wisdom and experience. Hilde is older but still very young at heart, still very cautious with her and her daughter's lives. Gabe is crazy about Hilde and he has to win her over because of the age difference but it doesn't take long for Hilde to see him as just Gabe the man not Gabe the younger man. Really loved the story, the daughters, the checking in with the big extended family, it was all great. Easy read that is clean and sweet.
April 20, 2023
I have been enjoying getting to know more and more about the Young brothers and Coral Canyon and Gabriel has been no exception!! I love his commitment to being a good father and his focus on building a great relationship with Hilde. The characters don’t shy away from recognizing and improving their weaknesses and growing stronger in their strengths as well as in their faith. I have to admit, my favorite part was the ending. It took me a little bit by surprise but left the ending on a high note!! Great job, Liz Isaacson!! As always, looking forward to the next one. : )

Love These Characters and Their Stories
I absolutely love this series with this family and all their drama and trauma and romance. I love the big family dynamics and their love and loyalty to each other, and how they're working out getting along when they haven't been. This is all so true to life. I can relate in so many instances because I married a man who was the eldest of seven sons and had gone through divorce himself. None of life's heartbreaks is ever easy, even when one has the Lord in their life. I look forward to the next book in the series!

Wonderful, clean book in the series by Liz Isaacson.
Gabe is a single dad and lawyer who struggles to open his heart after a bad marriage.
Hilde is a single mom who owns a furniture store and also isn’t sure if she’s ready to date again. She’s over ten years older than him. Can they get past the fears and concerns from their bad experiences and give each other a chance?

Another great story in this series. Gabriel and Hilde have a terrible time getting together for their first date. He lives an hour away and only comes to Coral Canyon on the weekend. Hilde is concerned about the age gap that doesn’t bother Gabriel a bit. Gabe has trouble allowing anyone into his life and feelings. Their love story is filled with lots of romance and emotions. I totally enjoyed reading this.

I had an ARC for this book, but this is my voluntary and honest opinion. Gabe Young, a lawyer who lives most of the week in Jackson Falls, but also has an office in Coral Canyon where his parents and brothers live. He has a young daughter, and is dating Hilde O’Dell who owns a furniture store. She has reservations about the relationship and their ages. This book is about relationships, lives, and family. It’s definitely well worth the read, down to earth, and real.
April 18, 2023
I’m enjoying this series immensely. Each book focuses on a brother and his significant other but also includes a glimpse of other characters. This book is the story of Gabe and Hilde. Their life experiences, both good and bad, are explored and assists the reader in understanding where they’ve been and their hopes for the future. Jem and Sunny make an appearance also. Can’t wait for the next book to release!

Love this Series
I so enjoyed this book and reading more about those Young brothers. I loved Hilde and Gabe's story. This author has a way of drawing me into her stories and writing about families that you want to be a part of. Gabe is younger than Hilde and that makes her pause when it comes to dating him but Gabe doesn't give up. These two make such a great couple and I can't wait to read more about them in the next book and to get Jem's story.

The Young Family Never Gets Old
This amazing family just keeps growing, and not just in number. I love how this series, while each book’s focus is one couple, keeps us current with what’s happening with the entire family. And oh so much love. I almost hate to finish each book because I know I’m going to have to wait a little bit for the next installment. Thank you, Liz, for bringing us this amazing series!

Gabe and Hilde Get It Together!
When two people chose to make a life together, it’s fraught with challenges. Children, families, professional lives, different towns, these all feature in a story of learning to trust ourselves and learning to believe we can have a relationship that strengthens us. Once again, thank you, Liz Isaacson, for writing from a position of strong conviction and love.

I love Liz’s cowboy books 💛 I’m all caught up with the Young family now, and let me tell you-these books are packed full! This book isn’t just about Gabe, you get chapters about what’s going on with each brother and I love it! Nobody does family saga quite like Liz✌🏻….I loved Gabe & Hilde. He was so steady in his pursuit and love for her and was just patient while she worked through her ‘hang ups’. And their daughters were pretty cute together💛 cannot wait for the next few books!

I just love reading about the Young Brothers. Each one goes through something that someone reading can relate to. I also like how LIZ Isaacson brings in the other characters from her other books. You're never left wondering what happened to the characters in any of her books. Great Christian books and makes you realize that no one is perfect that God will never leave you.

Gabriel
Gabe has been dating Hilde for several months and things are going very well between them even when including both daughters. Gabe needs to make some serious decisions since Hilde lives and owns a business in Coral Canyon and his primary home and business are in Jackson Hole, an hour away. This only gives them a couple of days a week if any time some weeks and it just doesn't seem enough.

In this older woman/younger man we have Hilde who is a divorced single mom to a teenage daughter and Gabriel who is also divorced with a young daughter. She is reluctant to date the much younger Gabe but he is all in with the attraction he feels for Hilde. Enjoyed the slow developing relationship that turns into a real love romance.

Gabe and Hildegard
Gabe, the grumpy one finally does get some things figured out and he’s able to wait fairly patiently for Hilde. I loved reading as their relationship developed. I also loved catching up with some of the other members of the Young family. This is a great addition to the series about the Youngs in Coral Canyon. The proposal was perfect.

Gabriel: A Young Brothers Novel
What a wonderful addition to the Coral Canyon Cowboys series featuring the Young brothers. Gabe and Hilde have a sweet story. Though Gabe and Hilde are the main focus of the book the Young brothers drama continues to make the book even more interesting.
