After reading Taming Rafe, I couldn't wait to get my hands on Finding Stefanie to see what else the Noble siblings had in store for us and I wasn't disappointed. Susan writes in such a way that you really get drawn into the books and the characters come to life before your eyes.

With the pressure of keeping the family ranch afloat Stefanie doesn't have time for romance. A fire at a neighbouring ranch brings 3 young kids into the Noble household as Stefanie takes them in to help them back onto their feet. The new owner of the now destroyed ranch, Lincoln Cash, wants to press charges and a battle of wills and ego's ensues as Stefanie and Lincoln butt heads on more issues than just the 3 runaway kids.

You'll laugh and cry in this beautifully written story. A big thumbs up from me!

Finding Stefanie Book 3 of Susan May Warren's Noble Legacy series.

Stefanie Noble is the only daughter of the owner of the Silver Buckle Ranch. Her brothers leave home and after leaving college, she is left to help her father take care of the ranch. She starts to question her life and thinks of her dream that was given up.

Lincoln Cash is an actor cast to play in a movie based on a book written by a local author. Health issues force Lincoln to question his future. Having purchased a ranch neighboring the Silver Buckle, he makes the decision to move to the ranch with plans to change the ranch into a tourist attraction.

Gideon North takes his sisters Macey and Haley from a home in South Dakota and they end up squatting on Lincoln's ranch until tragedy strikes. The North children are brought into Stefanie and Lincoln's lives for a reason. In the process Lincoln and Gideon find their way back to the Lord.

Characters are built through out the 3 books and lives are changed. The Noble siblings were all affected by the death of their mother at a young age and all have memories of their father and his walk with the Lord. I really likes this series.

Restless with her life, Stefanie Noble wonders if there could possibly be more for her life than a future as just a ranch hand on her family's estate. Lincoln Cash has lived the dream life of a Hollywood actor, but with a devastating diagnosis of MS he escapes to Montana to reflect on what his future might hold. Both Stefanie and Lincoln's lives are interrupted in very different ways by the arrival of three runaways creating tension between them. Lincoln sees trouble and wants the threesome out of town; Stefanie, however, has compassion on the siblings and serves as a surrogate mother. As Stefanie staunchly stands in the gap for the kids against Lincoln, she begins to unfold the real reasons for his brash actions and finds tenderness in her heart for the struggling actor.

I had a hard time getting into Finding Stefanie. Lincoln basically acted as though he was from Jerk City until later in the book. I also had a hard time believing that Stefanie and Lincoln would become a couple. Hoped for more.
