The Rancher's Texas Twins by Allie Pleiter

My review today is on the Love Inspired, The Rancher's Texas Twins. This is the sixth and final book in the Lone Star Cowboy League Continuity Series. I have enjoy this series and have actually bought these books. Most of the books I review are books that are sent to me to read and review but the last five books I paid for, I liked it that much. This book is well written and heart warming.(As are all of Allie's stories) I know you will love the book.

Rancher Gabe Everett is the president of the Lone Stay Cowboy League. They are in charge of the boy's home; a ranch that Gabe had once attended when his life fell apart. The boys ranch has moved into a new facility but the inheritance comes with stipulations. They have met several but there was still two more to go. The first one, Avery is here in town but is very angry at her grandfather for putting her in this mess, the other is to find his grand father and they have very little time to accomplish it. Avery was being thrown out of the bed and breakfast so he did the only thing he could, he brought them home, an invasion of tiny pinkness. How can he deal with all these girls?

Avery Culpepper grew up in foster homes; she didn't have a home like these boys did, love, understanding, and guidance. Her grandfather left her a small rustic cabin and then left the rest of his estate to the boys home. At first she really resented it but as she came to know the boys and the staff she decide to stay and help. Much of that had to do with Gabe; who although he is a solitary man he asked her and her twin four years to come stay with him at his ranch. He only did it to keep her here until the celebration. As Avery watches him deal with her daughters she is drawn to him. But she also watches him fall apart as they are unable to find his grandfather. Everything depended on finding this man.

A journey of these two solitary broken souls. God has a plan for these two, for the girls they are caring for, and for the boys ranch that means so much for them. God has a plan for you too. Just surrender your heart and watch Him turn your life around.
