This was a story that grows on you the further into the story you go. I had a hard time getting to know and appreciate Natalie Adams, the key character in this book. She had her future plans interrupted through the death of her father and just couldn't seem to appreciate all she had in the here and now.

Natalie Adams is a former rodeo queen who thought she had her life figured out and it involved living a life independent of her family's ranch. Then her father suddenly dies and she finds herself back at the ranch taking care of her two half-siblings and trying to run the ranch. Then there is new young pastor in the town, Jared Logan, who gets to know the family through various situations that bring him and the family together. He tries to help them out, but Natalie has a strong independent nature and really doesn't want or appreciate his help much at first. Jared has his own struggles in the story as he questions his life as a clergyman and tries to keep his heart from falling for a girl that doesn't seem interested in the things of the Lord.

There was also the hunt for the hidden money at the ranch, and the appearance of someone they all thought had died. Needless to say, there was always something happening in the story to hold your attention. People are not perfect and this family did have problems understanding one another and getting along. Natalie will grow on you, although it took me awhile to like her. Sometimes our dreams of what we think will make us happy are not really what is best for us and it is a good lesson on being content with wherever God puts you and in whatever situation you find yourself.

As a side note, this is part of the "Seasons of the Tallgrass" series but it can easily be read as a stand alone book. The characters from book one, "Snow Melts in Spring", are briefly in this story, but this book was a whole new story. The real tie to both books is that they both take place in the Flint Hills of Kansas.

This heartwarming romance about a rodeo queen drew me in with its depiction of a young woman's struggle to find faith after her world falls apart. Natalie was on her way to seeing her dreams come true, she was in the Miss Rodeo America pageant, she had a good looking boyfriend, and she enjoyed life with her father and younger brother and sister. But then she is the runner up in the pageant, her father dies in a tragic accident, her boyfriend leaves her for another women, and she has to drop out of college to take care of her siblings. Natalie feels overwhelmed as she tries to work the ranch and guide her brother and sister through their shared grief. Then a new friend--a young pastor named Jared--appears in their lives. Natalie strikes up a friendship with him, but her questions about God and the reappearance of people from her past keep her from trusting Jared--or God--with her whole heart. Somehow she has to rediscover her faith before she can learn to trust again, the way she did when she was a little girl.
I enjoyed following Natalie and Jared's journey toward love and faith and I heartily recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian romance. The glimpses into the life of a rodeo queen are fascinating, and the author certainly conveys her love for the Kansas Flint HIls in her writing. I also liked the mystery element she included in the form of notes that the father left behind which were clues to where he had hidden his money. Be sure to check out Kansas author Deborah Vogt's first book in the series, Snow Melts in Spring, if you enjoy this one. They are part of a series set in the same area, but they do not need to be read in order.
