REVIEW: A Rancher’s Redemption by Ann Roth

In A Rancher’s Redemption by Ann Roth, Dani Pettit and Nick Kelly have been best friends for a long time. Every time that Dani goes through a breakup Nick is there to cheer her up. While Dani is searching for the one, Nick is always with a woman just for the time being. Only this time, they both happen to be going through a breakup at the same time and this leads to some unexpected things..

While they are at her place after having dinner of comfort food and watching a movie together, they both fall asleep on the couch. And this leads them to one kiss after they wake up that neither can forget nor wants to acknowledge. But after one kiss, they will no longer be able to remain in the friends zone, making things complicated since they don’t want to risk losing their friendship over something that may not last.

As Dani tries to help her mother with running their cafe and trying to convince her to make some changes to bring in more customers now that they are loosing business to the Poplar Tree, Big Mama doesn’t want to change the menu nor the look to attract new customers. Not only does Dani have to have a micromanaging mother, she has to deal with things getting more complicated with Nick.

They remain friends but things are not as comfortable as they were before and if they act on their feelings what will happen next since she wants forever and Nick doesn’t want to settle down. Then to complicate matters, Big Mama looks like she is having a health problem but will not listen to Dani and make an appointment with her doctor for a checkup. Which we just know it’s a problem waiting to happen.

Nick and Dani are really likeable characters, I loved how close a relationship they have and how much they have always cared for each other. The friends to lovers premise was great, it shows the complications and angst they both go through as they try to figure out where they both stand in their relationship now and how they evolve in this new phase in their lives without losing the love they always had for each other. As for accepting their new outlook on their relationship, of course Nick would be the one that will put up a fight, but when it comes down to losing Dani from his life he will have to learn that love and HEA do exist and he could have thee best if he only stops denying it.

If you want a sweet and fun read, don’t miss A Rancher’s Redemption by Ann Roth.
