Back in the Saddle by Ruth Logan Herne
4.0
Hiding her family from retaliation by criminals who killed her father, Angelina Morales takes a job as a house manager and cook for Sam Stafford, a sick man who hopes to repair his relationships with his estranged sons. For two years, Angelina works to get Sam to admit to his feelings of grief for the loss of his wife, the wrong he has done to his sons and the townspeople, and establish a relationship with God.
Colt Stafford left the ranch nine years ago to prove to his father that he could make it big in the financial industry in Manhatten. Once a Ponzi scheme is discovered, the stock market falls, Colt loses much of his money, and his other assets are locked down while it is determined that he had no knowledge of the scheme. Broken, in spirit and wallet, Colt returns to the ranch to help his sick father and wait until Wall Street recovers a bit.
Being back at the ranch, especially with Angelina running things, makes Colt question where he truly belongs. Between their daily interactions and some tough situations, Colt and Angelina decide their place is together.
Angelina's faith, and that of her mother, are the strongest of all the characters. Sam is trying to learn to respond the way God would like him to and Colt was introduced to God and faith before his mother died. Colt stopped talking to God when his mother died in a car accident.
I'm truly looking forward to the rest of this series and am glad I participated in the Christian Fiction Scavenger Hunt, as that is what introduced me to Ruth Logan Hern. I will most likely look into other series by this author as well.
