About this eBook

Two feuding ranchers discover a deep connection in an old silver mine beneath their land in this romance by the New York Times bestselling author.
 
Now that she’s completed her engineering degree, Rachel Ford Morgan is eager to prove herself to her father and four brothers who run Morgan Ranch. She gets the chance when she discovers fault lines around an abandoned silver mine at the edge of their property. But the troublesome mine is nothing compared to the cowboy who seems determined to shake up her world.

Cauy Lymond doesn’t take kindly to the woman nosing around his land—especially since she’s a member of the neighboring Morgan clan. Cauy is determined to keep his father’s failing ranch out of their super-wealthy hands. But he soon realizes that he needs Rachel’s skill—and admirable courage—to shore up the old mine that threatens both their futures. As they pour all of their blood, sweat, and secrets into saving the land, their true feelings for each other begin to surface.

Rachel Ford Morgan’s completed her engineering degree& has returned to the Morgan ranch where she’s trying to find her footing around her birth father and her four brothers. She gets a chance to prove herself when she discovers worrisome fault lines around an abandoned silver mine. Cauy Lymond doesn’t take kindly to the woman nosing around his property especially since she’s a Morgan. He came home just to keep his father’s failing ranch out of their super-wealthy hands. He soon realizes that Rachel’s skill may be the only things that can shore up the old mine that threatens both their futures. Rachel is the final Morgan sibling to have their story. The book could be read on its own but if you love series then I'd start at the beginning. The characters have plenty of depth. Cauy & Rachel are both trying to come to terms with their past he was injured whilst working on an oil rig, she’s only just discovered her family. Sparks fly when they first meet & continue to fly throughout the book. The pace is good & flows effortlessly, yet another book that I read into the night as I just needed to finish it. A lovely story with an enthralling story containing humour, passion ideal for the holiday season or any season. I hope their are more stories to follow about the Lymond siblings My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

A great addition to the series. I’ve really been enjoying this series and The Rancher is one of my stories in it. The other books have been about the Morgan sons and I’m glad that we finally get to read Rachel’s story. Don’t worry if you haven’t read the other books, I think this one stands alone fairly well. Each of the books has an HEA for the featured couple but there are overlapping arcs in a few of the books. Cauy Lymond returns to the family ranch he inherited from his father only to find it falling apart. He left home at 16 because he could no longer handle the way his father treated him. A horrible accident has left him scarred and withdrawn. Rachel Morgan is still getting to know the family she only recently discovered she has. Her mother kept a lot of things hidden from her and died without revealing the secrets she kept. After a lengthy search, one of her previously unknown brothers found her and invited her into the family. The Rancher was such an intriguing book. We get hints about what happened to Cauy but it takes a while for the story to reveal what happened to him. When he and Rachel meet they are attracted to each other but many things keep them apart until they finally give into the lust they both feel. There is more mystery in this story, with new developments we didn’t know about in the previous ones. What happened to Cauy really made me sad but it was also uplifting to know what he’d overcome. Both he and Rachel share similar emotional scars of not being good enough or wanted by one of their parents. I laughed and cried while reading this book, a sure sign that it’s a winner for me. I don’t know if there will be more books in the series or not but there are a few more characters that I think deserve to be written about. At the very least I'd love to read a big Christmas family story this time next year.  A review copy was provided by the publisher via NetGalley but this did not influence my opinion or rating of the book.

The Rancher by Kate Pearce Morgan Ranch #6 With a meet-cute that was one leaving Cauy and Rachel angry rather than friendly there didn’t seem much hope for the two to find a HEA but they eventually do. Cauy Lymond has had it ingrained into his skull that the Morgan’s are out to get them and to be despised but Cauy soon realizes that perhaps his father was wrong. With a rescue dog, ranch in dire need of repairs, two siblings that may get stories of their own in the future, a couple of dude ranch doofuses, a paternal mystery to solve, family angst and drama to wade through and holidays to enjoy this story packs a punch that kept me reading from beginning to end. The reason for the breakup toward the end was not one of my favorites but all came right in the end. I am eager to read Jackson’s story and hope it will come next. Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington-Zebra for the ARC – This is my honest review. 4 Stars
