The Rancher's Holiday Hope Review

The Rancher’s Holiday Hope by Brenda Minton is the 4^th book in her Mercy Ranch Christian contemporary series, but can be read as a standalone. This is the story of veteran Sierra who is a wedding planner and focused on healing emotionally from her past and Max the brother of Sierra’s current client. Max is fully focused on work and repaying his family for standing by him through his rough past. They are brought together over this holiday season and touch each other’s lives.



I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. This was a quick and sweet holiday read. It was very well written. The story kept me interested and reminded me of Christmas time without feeling overdone.


The characters were all interesting and complicated people making their way through life. I really enjoyed the theme of hope for them. Their faith seemed honest and realistic, but not preachy. The romance was sweet and heartwarming. Even though it only took place over about 1 month, their romance didn’t feel rushed.

This turned out to be just the right amount of serious and honest life with holiday activities. I look forward to seeing more of what this author has written.
