A Rancher's Bride by Vivian Arend Book Summary

Welcome to Heart Falls, where there's more at stake than the future of the Silver Stone ranch.

A standalone novel by New York Times bestselling author Vivian Arend.

With the ranch teetering on the brink of disaster, accepting an invitation to the gala of the year is a top business priority for Luke Stone. Having a significant other on his arm isn’t merely a good idea, it’s a necessity. Doesn't matter that he’s currently single—there’s a logical solution. Kelli is easy company, a vital part of ranch operations, and willing to sing Silver Stone’s praises all day long. She’ll be perfect.

Kelli James has kept a lot of secrets over the eight years since she boldly walked onto the ranch. Her biggest challenge, though, has been hiding her crush on the sexiest cowboy she’s ever laid eyes on. When Luke informs her they’re headed to the mountains for a week-long, work-related event, she’s not sure what to expect.

That he signed her up to play the part of the perfect rancher’s bride-to-be wasn’t it…

Sweet Romance. This is Book 3 in The Stones of Heart Falls series. We finally get Luke and Kelli’s story. This is such a sweet romance with a lot of exciting things happening. Luke’s ex-fiancée makes an appearance, too. The chemistry between Luke and Kelli is so fun to watch I’m so glad that I read this book. If you like a slow and fun romance, then this is the one that you need to read. There’s just enough spice to make it exciting but not R-rated.

Surprises OMG. I got so excited reading this book. It took by surprise the whole plot since I thought Dustin and Kelly might heat it off.... but i gotta day Luke and Kelli is indeed much better. Kelli has always been a mystery character and see it get the spotlight was very refreshing. I’m looking forward for the upcoming installment!!! You will love this story a lot.

Love everything about this. Excellent!!! Very well written romance story, I love both characters. Kelli is bold, hard working, sassy and grateful. Luke is such a gentleman, a bit more reserved or rather has an one track mind focused on not losing his family ranch. A few days away from the ranch handling ranch business, helps clear the “air” a bit and Luke really makes you long for the opportunity to fall for this cowboy. Their story really touches the heart, their chemistry is off the charts & their antics are at times hilarious. They are very well matched also have great family circle on the ranch, very supportive & upfront. I love that the author focuses on plot and the couple without all the "extra" drama that is so overwhelmingly popular these days, it keeps you on track with the plot and lets you settle down into their story, love that. I requested a free copy and am voluntarily reviewing.

Fairytales. Oh my gosh, where do I begin? The Stone ranch is in trouble. All of a sudden an unexpected invitation is made that could help the ranch significantly. But the only Stone who could attend is Luke and he needs a significant other. So he lists Kelli. Oh yeah, and he doesn't tell her the role she needs to play until they are halfway to the location. And so begins the fake fiancee storyline. I love the chemistry between Luke and Kelli. And I love Jack and Diane (will we see more of them in the future?). I found it interesting that Mr. Carlyn was so interested in Kelli. What is that all about? So what happens when the fairytale ends and everyone has to return home and back to real life? Will love prevail or will life get in the way? Enjoy the carriage ride.

A Friends to Lovers Romp. The Stone family returns with Luke and Kelli in the hot seat. It’s Luke’s turn to try to bring much needed money (in the form of customers) to the ranch’s horse breeding program. And Kelli the ranch hand knows horses. There are some surprising twists to keeps the story moving and fun. I feel invested in this family now and look forward to the next couple in the hot seat!

A Rancher’s Bride. I love this book as I do all of the others in this series. The only bad thing about the book is that it ended! I could read about the Stone family forever. I feel like I’m part of their family and I love revisiting with all of the characters. I was glad Luke finally got the chance to realize his true feelings for Kelli. Kelli and Luke’s story is a great story about not realizing the great thing that’s been right in front of you. A great friends to lovers story. I can’t wait to read Ginny and Dustin’s story but in the meantime I’m looking forward to The Whiskey Creek Coleman girls! I was given an ARC for an honest review.

5 star read. I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review. Ms. Arend has done it again. I couldn’t put it down. Finished it in 24 hours! Luke and Kelli have amazing chemistry. Their story slowly unfolds and you can feel the energy between them. I loved the surprise development that unfolds. The way secrets were revealed and how the characters have a chance to heal past hurts was genuine. I enjoyed how you can sense who is next up in the series even before the end of the book is near. Never once does it take anything away from the story at hand. It just brings me closer to the characters. This was sweet and steamy. Great addition to the series.

The Stones of Heart Falls. When Luke Stone receives an invitation to an exclusive horse event he knows this is his chance to really do something to help his family with the ranch’s financial problems. The only hitch is he needs a significant other. The only person he can think of is ranch hand Kelli James and when he asks she’s willing to go, only he left one very important part out, the most “significant” part. Kelli has had a crush on Luke for some time so after the initial shock she decides to make the most out of the situation and soon it’s not acting anymore for either one of them. A friends to lovers story with plenty of heart and family.

A Ranchers Bride. If you read any of the books in this series it needs to be this one. I loved it. You can never go wrong with one of Vivian Arend book. I can’t wait til the Whiskey girls get there stories.

Finally. I have been waiting for this love story and I was not disappointed either. Secrets, crushes and true love. Just what a great book needs. Everyone of your books is a hot page turner. Can’t wait for the whisky creek girls

Fun and cute read!!. Fourth installment of the Heart Falls series, and it’s adorable!! This is Luke & Kelli’s story, they have a working relationship and friendship that blossom into something more over a working week event. Which started off bumpy but they manage to work thru it 😉 they are perfect for each other, with Kelli’s forever crush on Luke, and Luke being free from his now ex-fiancé, that no one liked..... she was a major itch with a capital “B”!! AND we finally get Kelli’s story too!!! This was something that has been hinted at in the past books. That Kelli has an awesome character of strength and feistiness. Makes you wonder how in the world Luke hadn’t truly noticed her before, oh right she was his employee and their friendship....which shows his great character too. But when he finally does....watch out sparks fly. Very cute friend to lover story with a very HEA with some happy twists. Oh and all the Stone family are there too with their own fun loving involvement and banter....right along with those adorable nieces, and their pet goats!! There is a bit more involvement in others outside of the Stone family but very much involved with the family, so looking forward to possibly more books/Novellas on them.....hint hint.

A Rancher’s Bride. Kelli and Luke belong together! Every minute they were together just brought their love to the surface but they didn’t realize it. Their story was inevitable!

A Ranchers Bride. Another phenomenal book from Ms Arend. Her books are some of the best I’ve read and this one is no exception! It’s fantastic and I loved everything about it. The storyline and characters were wonderfully written and hooked me from the beginning! Must read!

Love Luke and Kelli!. I loved Kelli and Luke, but especially Kelli. She’s honest, doesn’t play games, and very forthright. Even though they have known each other and Kelli has worked for the Stones for quite awhile, Luke has finally had his eyes open and sees Kelli in a new light. The one thing that Kelli hasn’t been upfront about is her infatuation with Luke. It hasn’t kept her from doing an outstanding job on the ranch. With the ranch at a crossroads and being a success or failure can go either way, Luke’s invitation to an influential gala could hold the key for the family ranch to get back on its feet. It also provides the perfect opportunity for Kelli to live her dream, if only for a short time. There’s always a few hiccups along the way, but not always where you think they will be. I’ve read all of Ms Arend’s books and this one is one of her best.

Great reading. Yet another fabulous book Vivian, love reading about the loves of sexy cowboys and their ladies.

Captivating, heartfelt, romantic.. A Rancher’s Bride is everything I’ve come to expect from Vivian Arend and so much more! The story is packed with trials and wonder of life on the land, a unrequited love, family values and a touch of sadness and mystery too. The Stone Brothers have grabbed ahold of our hearts since we first encounter them, back before the Heart Falls series began; and true to all of Ms Arend’s series, they have continued to exceed my expectations of what family and commitment really means. Luke Stone has an undeniable feeling that a devastating loss is imminent and that he must be the one to save the family business and the home they have loved for their entire life. So with the help of their long time ranch hand Kelli, Luke hatches a plan to ensure the future of the Silver Stone Ranch and everything he holds dear to his heart. What Luke doesn’t expect, or even entertain, is the prospect of finding a love so true that he thought it was merely a fantasy. This is an exceptional story and Luke and Kelli’s characters are perfect together. They not only share a love for Silver Stone, but a commitment to the future, a pride in all things equine, and a family bond far beyond blood ties. Ms Arend has penned an enchanting story with easy ebb and flow, with an engaging plot, and a fabulous support cast that add humour and depth to an already captivating story. I’m a little bereft to see the Heart Falls series end, but know that Ms Arend will have something exciting planned for the future, as there are still many wonderful characters to tell their tales.

A sweet loving romance.. I found this book was a sweet read that involves quite a few different emotions. The plot is well thought out and it draw you into the book like you are apart of it. The chemistry between all of the characters is fantastic. If you haven’t read the book before this one you are going to want to after you finished this so you get to no the hole family a lot better.

3.75 stars-engaging and heart warming. 3.75 stars--A RANCHER’S BRIDE is the fourth instalment in Vivian Arend’s contemporary, adult HEART FALLS erotic, romance cowboy series focusing on the Stone Siblings of Heart Falls, Alberta-Caleb, Luke, Walker, Ginny and Dustin. This is thirty-something, rancher Luke Stone, and twenty-three year old, ranch hand Kelli James’ story line. A RANCHER’S BRIDE can be read as a stand alone without any difficult. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. The HEART FALLS series is a spin off from the author’s SIX PACK RANCH series, but you do not have to have read the original series to follow or understand the current story lines. Told from dual third person perspectives (Luke and Kelli) A RANCHER’S BRIDE follows the friends to lovers relationship / fake fiancé trope between thirty-something, rancher Luke Stone, and twenty-three year old, ranch hand Kelli James. Eight years earlier, lost and on the run, Kelli James found her way to Silver Stone ranch in the hopes of procuring a place to live, and a much needed job. Meeting Luke Stone stirred something deep within the young teenage girl but Luke was about to enter into another relationship that forced Kelli to watch from the sidelines as the man with whom she would fall in love, fell in love with someone else. Fast forward to present day wherein Luke, now single and desperately trying to save the Silver Stone ranch, invites Kelli to the Triple Crown Gala, where the who’s who of horse breeders gather to schmooze and set up deals. What ensues is the building romance and sexual relationship between Kelli and Luke, and the potential fall-out as their time together draws to a close when the gala comes to a satisfying conclusion. Luke and his brothers are desperately trying to save the Silver Stone ranch since the death of their parents years before. An invitation to the Triple Crown Gala meant the possibility of saving the ranch, and securing a financial windfall but the hosts were all about ‘family’ meaning Luke needed Kelli to pose as his fiancé in order to put up a united front. What they never expected was to fall in love, or have their future relationship threatened by someone from the past. The relationship between Kelli and Luke is one of friends to lovers; a fake fiancé / employee and boss arrangement between two people desperate to find something more. Luke’s previous relationship ended in disaster, and Kelli was in no position to become the rebound lover but offers herself up for their time away. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters including Caleb and Tamara (A Rancher’s Heart 1), Walker and Ivy (A Rancher’s Song #2), Hannah Lane (A Firefighter’s Christmas #3), youngest brother Dustin; veterinarian Josiah Ryder; Tamara’s sister Lisa Coleman : Ivy’s sisters Tansy and Rose; Silver Stone ranch foreman Ashton Stewart; Triple Crown gala attendees Jack and Diane, and Timothy Carlyn. Josiah and Lisa’s story line is next in The Cowgirl’s Forever Love, the first instalment in the author’s new spin-off series The Colemans of Heart Falls. THE RANCHER’S BRIDE is a story of family and friendship; romance and love. The premise is engaging, heart warming and inviting; the characters are spirited and moving; the romance is seductive. THE RANCHER’S BRIDE is a delightful romance between two people who deserve their own happily ever after.

A Rancher’s Bride. I loved this book!!! The characters were fun and quirky in a great way. They are committed to the ranch and learned to grow together and see what was right in front of their noses. I can hardly wait to have more in the series! Meanwhile I will read more about the rest of the family. It is also wonderful to read a story based in Canada:). Way to go Vivian!

It starts with a (well intentioned) fib. Luke Stone will do anything he can to save his family’s ranch and if a white lie like saying ranch hand Kelli James is his fiancée so they can attend the week long networking function, than that’s what he’ll do. Kelli James has been attracted and half in love with Luke for years and his plan may just work in her favour. She goes along with him and makes it known that she is more than willing to have a week of Not just pretending to be lovers. Two people who have known each other for years are finally both in a place that they can see what’s been there the whole time. I love the fact Kelli is plain spoken and goes after what she wants. The heat, humour and underlying theme throughout this series of family, whether blood or not makes this book in the heart stone series one of my favourites.

Loved, Loved, Loved. Vivian Arend has done it again. Her characters are written so beautifully it’s like they are old friends. Luke and Kelli have been friends and have worked together for years. With Luke’s family ranch in dire financial crisis they seize an opportunity that can potentially bring in the needed cash to keep things afloat. To help make the plan work they must pretend to be an engaged couple, which brings Kelli’s secret desires for Luke rushing to the surface. Will Luke finally start seeing her as a women and not the off limits friend she has been for 8 years? It was great to go back to visit Silver Stone ranch to spend time with the Stone family again. This book, like all the others Vivian has written, is full of love and laughter. I enjoyed it very much and look forward to the next great read coming soon.
