Melanie Simms walked away from her wealthy, abusive father and began a new life. She starts her own business and is a wedding planner. Her friend, Corrina, is getting married and Mel is helping her. This means working with her friend's big brother, Cole. Melanie is attracted to him but she won't let her emotions distract her. Or will she? Cole is a widower. He doesn't want to love again after he lost his young wife to cancer. Melanie is afraid to let anyone close after the traumatic pain of her childhood. Will they risk their hearts? This is a tender, romantic story that touched me. The characters are realistic. Melanie is a gentle, loving woman who guards her emotions. Cole is powerful and honorable. He protects those he loves. Victoria James has given us a delightful supporting cast. I love the meddling Mrs. H. as well as Cole's friend, Gage. This book is a perfect balance of love, laughter and heartbreak. I couldn't stop reading The Rancher's Second Chance. I hope there are more books in The Passion Creek series. I would love to read Gage's story.
