Loving Ellie by Lindsey Brookes, is a well-written book about love, loss and trust.  It is a heartfelt story about coffee shop owner Ellie Sanders and Lucas Tanner, a very successful rancher. Due to tragic circumstances, they are brought together and end up finding happiness as a couple.Due to the death of his wife and unborn child, Lucas left his hometown of Eagle Ridge to regroup. Now he is back because word finally reached him that his one and only brother Jarrett passed away. He is greeted at his brother's home by Ellie, Jarrett's pregnant fiance.The story continues with Ellie and Lucas slowly getting to know each other, while living under the same roof. They begin to depend on each other for emotional support, friendship and a few amazing kisses. Overtime they fall in love, only after a few emotional demons and barriers have been diffused.This story brought both happy and sad tears to my eyes on many occasions. The character development is top-notch and although the ending is predictable, it left a smile on my face a mile wide.  Hopefully, Ms. Brookes is in the process of writing a book about Blaine and Victoria, the engaging secondary characters from this book.
