From International Bestselling Author Katie Graykowski comes a story about love, laughter, and ranching. The fifth installment of A Texas Rose Ranch series will prove that everything is bigger in Texas and love will always find a way.
Swacovian Crown Princess Alexandra Louisa Eleanor Evangeline Von Claremont known as A-Lee is on a mission to find her maternal grandfather. She promised her beloved grandmother as the woman lay dying that she would find the man who her grandmother had loved and then lost contact with during the Korean War.
After all, the man has a daughter and a granddaughter that he doesn’t know exist. Over the years her grandmother had looked for him, but in 1965 he disappeared. The last place he worked was the Texas Rose Ranch. A-Lee must find him. It was her grandmother’s dying wish. She will not fail. Her whole life has led up to this point. Nothing will stop her. Until she runs out of gas in the middle of nowhere.
San Antonio—T-Bone—Rose is the fifth son of the famed Texas Rose Ranch. It may be the second largest ranch in Texas, but it’s the most profitable by far. He’s finally home for good with his newly minted PhD in Agribusiness. He’s taking over the farming arm of the family business. The ranch is going non-GMO whether the family likes it or not. He knows best. It’s his way or the highway. Speaking of the highway, there seems to be a tall chestnut-haired woman wearing a red sequin crop top walking purposefully down the middle of Highway 16.
After some serious convincing, T-Bone talks A-Lee into taking a ride from him to the Texas Rose Ranch. Together they tear the ranch apart looking for clues to the mystery that is Llewellyn Bradford.
What they find, changes their lives forever.
This is my first visit to the Texas Rose Ranch, but it certainly won’t be the last! I am grateful that these are standalones that can be followed without having read the previous books. Immediately, I loved finding myself submerged in a loud, yet incredibly fun, prankster family unit. They all have their own unique personalities, but it works in all the best ways when you want to find yourself whisked away inside a book.
I love how A-Lee shortened her name — it’s the perfect fit for a young woman who doesn’t feel she quite fits anywhere. At least not yet. She’s a princess who loves her family and country, yet some things don’t quite aline yet. Her adventure truly begins when she finds herself stranded a short distance from the very ranch where she hopes to find answers and fulfill her grandmother’s wishes.
T-Bone comes home with a big plan that he’s ready to roll out and transition the farm. I loved his ambitious personality. His initial interaction with A-Lee had me laughing out loud several times. I felt that their relationship was a bit surface level, but I am also a firm believer in that when you know, you know. His relationships with his family felt genuine and well-developed. He follows his heart and gets so much more than he could’ve ever planned for.
The heat level spikes for a moment or two, but it’s not the sole focus of the couple. I love the development of them as a couple, along with the relationships that form within the family. Such a fun read and I can’t wait to go back to read the first four of the series. Grab a copy and enjoy the Texas-sized antics and love story!
