Ransom Canyon Mass Market Paperback – 25 Aug. 2015

An amazing read! Literally couldn’t stop turning the pages, hooked on every word! Perfect amount of romance and sitting on the edge of my seat suspense! Can’t wait to read the whole set!

This is the first of a series and like any start, has to spend time setting up the situation. While I like the descriptive writing, I can't really warm to a widowed rancher who has taken a lover and accepts that they are never seen together or known as a couple; they don't seem to have anything in common and the woman involved, though single, is the one driving their relationship or lack of one.There's also a lot of time spent with a moody teen girl, in the awkward position of being the sheriff's daughter, who doesn't do much in or for the story; the lad she likes best, though, is a good choice as he comes to the fore during the latter half of the story. Probably the young lady will be more of a character in later books.Oddly I most enjoyed seeing a man just out of prison arrive in Crossroads where nobody knows him, finding his feet as part of the community while his thoughts go along their usual routes, until he decides that there might be some point in going straight. But will he change? Can the retirement community where he finds work help with that choice?Overall I felt there was nice descriptive writing and really good location detail, good focus on character and an edge of danger. I'll be interested to see how the series progresses.

This is the first book in the Ransom Canyon series. If cowboy/ small town romance is your go to romance genre, then this is the book for you. I loved this book, I took my time with it as I didn't want it to end. The story was beautifully written, easy to follow and had good pacing. I also loved the mix of characters and how we get to look into their individual lives. Also the small town setting sounded beautiful. I hadn't read anything by the author before but I will definitely be reading more by them. I highly recommend it.

Saw this was coming out on Netflix and wanted to read the book first.Interesting first book with 4 POV's following different characters, I was unsure on how I felt for the first half of the book as we start getting to know the characters and it did read very quickly and by the half way point I had become invested.Not sure I'm the biggest fan of any of the characters currently but hopefully the next book with expansion on the small town and its many members.

Jodi Thomas never disappoints. You always get a good storyline, therefore a good read.

A good read

Not for me
