Start reading the first chapter here.
Can the brother left behind and a woman without hope work together for the good of two precious children?

Nick Stafford stayed in central Washington, working his family’s large ranch after his brothers left to pursue other passions—but his toughest job is being a single dad. As a child he watched his father fail at marriage and parenting, so Nick was determined to show him up. He’d be a better husband, father, and ranch manager than Sam Stafford ever was. Despite that commitment, three years after Nick’s wife left him, he has a daughter in trouble at school and both of his girls are facing issues that force him to rethink his stubborn plans. 

For Dr. Elsa Andreas, life fell apart when tragedy caused her to abandon her family therapy practice and retreat to the backwoods of Gray’s Glen. Her school principal sister believes Elsa can guide the Stafford girls and that working with kids will draw Elsa out of her protective bubble. 

Summer on the Double S teems with life and adventure. Amid the bounty of God and land, will Nick and Elsa find the courage to build futures based on faith rather than fear?

After making appearances in Back in the Saddle, Nick Stafford now stars in his own Double S Ranch novel, Home on the Range. His story has plenty of cowboys and romance, as readers can expected from Ruth Logan Herne’s series, but two little girls play an important role in bringing Nick and his counterpart Dr. Elsa Andreas together. As the story progresses, these characters have several opportunities to struggle with and confront serious issues of abandonment and trauma and then begin healing. It’s a wonderfully emotional book, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first one in the series. Fans of contemporary romance involving cowboys should definitely read Home on the Range.

Thanks to Blogging for Books, I received a copy of Home on the Range and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.
