A Family for the Rancher
In a heartbreaking instant, rancher Sam Denver becomes guardian to his baby nephew and the young foster twins his late brother and sister-in-law hoped to adopt. With the Triple D ranch to run and two sets of grandparents to look after, the guarded cowboy is desperate for help. But when the children's maternal aunt finally returns home to Buffalo Gap, Kelly Krause's difficult past prevents her from believing she has much to offer Sam or the little ones. Yet when custody of the twins is in jeopardy, Sam discovers just how much his makeshift family needs Kelly if only she'll stay.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/53.5 stars--themes: trusting God, trusting others, what makes a family, making the most of the time you haveFor once there's a single dad who didn't get a girl pregnant and find out about his kid years later or end up a widower. I'm kind of surprised that Jake and Marina never told their respective twins that they were being named as guardians of the children--then again, Jake and Marina probably didn't expect to die in an accident either. I admire Sam for stepping up to take care of his brother's kids. I liked his nicknames for the twin girls his brother was trying to adopt.Sam doesn't trust God because God didn't answer his prayers to heal Naomi (his late fiancee). The death of his twin brother and sister-in-law doesn't help matters. Kellie trusts God but has trouble trusting the love of others because of her relationship with her mother (who kept trying to make Kellie into what she wanted) and because of a guy she planned to marry whom she later found out was already married. There are many discussions about what makes up a family because of the uncertainty about the twin girls's adoption, the loss of their "parents", the fact that Kellie's father has Alzheimer's, the fact that Kellie and her mother have a strained relationship, and the aunt and uncle who surface who want to take the twins.The uncertainty of the girls's future and Kellie's father's Alzheimer's also play a role in discussing making the most of the time you have. Since it's a Love Inspired book, you kind of know that things will turn out well for the main characters in the end.
