Finding Stefanie
Several months ago, I reviewed Susan May Warren's books Reclaiming Nick and Taming Rafe. To read about these books, click here.

Because I enjoyed these stories, I looked forward to the release of Finding Stefanie, the final book in Mrs. Warren’s Noble Legacy series. Stefanie Noble has always been the responsible one; she stayed home to run the ranch while her brothers sowed their wild oats. Now, however, she is assessing her life and wondering if it is all she hoped it would be. When a famous actor moves to town, Stefanie's life turns upside down, and she is forced to deal with the dreams and struggles she has kept hidden for many years.

Finding Stefanie is the kind of story that is easy to read and difficult to put down. As a character, Stefanie is relatable, and her struggles will ring true with many women. My only disappointment was that I figured out most of the ending ahead of time. All three books in the series follow a similar pattern, and this prepared me for the final chapters. I still enjoyed the book, however, and I was sad to say good-bye to the Noble family.

If you are interested in this book and would like to read the first chapter, click here.

Thanks for the review. I'm adding all three to my wishlist!

Sounds interesting. I am going to hold off on getting involved with any more series right now. I get too connected with the families and then I don't read the other "stand alone" books in my pile.

It may be a good one to hold for Christmas break or next Summer.

Hugs,

Susan
