Excerpt from Country Hearts
INTRODUCTION
Life as a wife, mom, and rancher are all Jenny lives and breathes, until one day, the unthinkable happens.
Journey with Jenny as she faces some of the hardest obstacles and most incredible moments of her life. When her days can’t get any darker, watch as one special person comes into her life just at the right moment and brightens it all up.
“Jenny!?! Have you seen my keys? I’m gonna be late if I can’t find those blasted keys!”
And so, Monday begins. How is it that one man can lose his keys so often? We have a key holder in the entrance for the express purpose of hanging keys so we’ll know where they are the next time we need them. So why is it, our Mondays always start with David looking for his keys?
“Did you check your coat pockets?” I yell back, from across the house. Let’s see … kids’ lunches are made, their clothes are laid out, David has his lunch … no, wait … Oh goodness, no, he doesn’t. “Your lunch is still on the counter too!” I add. The man drives me absolutely crazy. I swear he is more absent-minded than the kids sometimes.
“Shit,” I hear him utter under his breath.
“I found your keys! They are on the counter next to your lunch.”
David comes running into the kitchen. “Thanks, babe”— he kisses me and runs off—“I’d be lost without you.”
Okay, where was I? Get the kids on the bus, then on to my farm chores … Check on the cows and horses, make sure the water is full, give them another hay bale, oats for the horses, the new mineral block needs to go into the corral, collect the eggs, and the chickens may need more feed and water … Get an oil change for the truck at one o’clock, grab some groceries, and be home on time at four o’clock for the bus drop off. All right, Jenny, you got this.

My thoughts on Country Hearts
Country Hearts will break your heart then mend it back again.
I enjoyed this tale set on a small farm. Although there is a tragedy, heartbreak, and devastation, there is also hope.
Jenny proves to have the resiliency needed for life on the farm with small children. She’s a female character with backbone and strength. At times, all you need to do is keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Sam is another solid character. He is supportive, caring, and protective. He makes a true western hero.
While I very much enjoyed the story, the reader needs to be aware that it’s a tear-jerker at times. I might have even ugly cried once. But, I also smiled a lot, so they balance each other out.
It was nice to meet up with Ally from the author’s earlier book, Willow’s Ridge. It brought me joy to see how she is coping and recuperating from her own tragedy.
If you love a good romantic story with strong leads, Country Hearts is the book for you.

I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
