Reunited in the Rockies is the fourth book in Mindy Obenhaus’s Coloado-based Rocky Mountain Heroes series, and I am here for it. A picturesque return to Ouray, this story is a delight to read from start to finish.

Widowed and pregnant, Kayla Bradshaw returns to town for a restoration project and a fresh start. Except, doing so brings her face-to-face with her first love, Jude Stephens. A misunderstanding tore them apart years ago, but is this romance actually the second chance she needed?

A sweet, faith-filled story of romance, family, and overcoming obstacles, Reunited in the Rockies had me rooting for this fourth Stephens brother—it proved as heartwarming as I hoped it would be when I picked it up. Now, I’m eager to read the last story in the series.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and the opportunity to provide an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own. ( )

I always enjoy reading stories that allow people to have a second chance at love and Reunited in the Rockies is certainly one of the better ones that I have read. This is the fourth book in Mindy Obenhaus's Rocky Mountain Heroes series and it allows the fourth Stephens brother, Jude, to have his chance to shine. Jude feels that he has been roped into helping his father with the family cattle business when all he really wants is to work with his hands. Jude is anxious to leave his job as a police officer in Ouray, Colorado and devote his time and talent to woodworking but telling his father is another story. And then, his life becomes even more complicated when Kayla, the young woman that he once loved, returns to Ouray after living in Denver. Kayla Bradshaw is now a widow expecting her first baby and she hopes to begin a new life running the town hotel. Is it possible for them create a new life together?
I found myself fully invested in their renewed relationship and their second chance at love. Kayla was so deserving of a man who would love and treasure her but she was afraid to trust again. 'She'd fallen in love twice in her life and both times had ended in heartbreak....Things were no longer about her. She had a child to consider.' (p. 169). Jude accepted that Kayla was no longer the girl he had once loved but he also knew that his feelings hadn't died and his determination to defend her when her in-laws threatened her with legal action concerning their unborn grandchild made him definitely worthy of hero status! And then, an accident occurs that could change it all......
Reunited in the Rockies is filled with the strong chemistry between Kayla and Jude but this is a sweet, clean romance and Obenhaus has included a strong faith element woven into her storyline, even as she shows how alcohol and abuse can threaten any relationship. I will certainly recommend this Love Inspired novel to anyone who enjoys Christian romance.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book that I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. ( )

With each new book Mindy Obenhaus writes, I want more and more to plan a vacation to Ouray, Colorado. It’s just too bad the Stephens family is fictions because I’d love to drop by Abundant Blessing Ranch or stay at the Granger House Inn. At least I can visit through the pages of the books.

Reunited in the Rockies is a second chance romance. Kayla and Jude were young when they fell in love. Assumptions and unfortunate happenstances caused them to go their separate ways. Now Kayla is back in Ouray, unsure of her future but a door opens for her to stay for a while.

Obenhaus gives readers a story of how much words can affect us, both negatively and positively. It’s also a wonderful example of how love is meant to build a person up. And of course, there’s plenty of family time with the Stephens, some building and remodeling, and sparks all over the pages whenever Jude and Kayla are together.

The good news is there is one unattached Stephens brother left. You bet I’ll be on the lookout for this final book in the Rocky Mountain Heroes series.
