A Rancher's Bride

By: Vivian Arend

Narrated by: Tatiana Sokolov

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 best-selling 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....

Finally Seeing the Truth

For years Kelly has crushed on Luke but always kept it to herself but she sees her chance when posing as Luke’s fiancée at a horse breeder gala. Kelly propositions Luke but soon Luke realizes Kelly is the woman for him even as she learns more about her family in this sweet tale. Great performance by Tatiana Sokolov.

Sweet and sexy.

I always enjoy a good fake relationship story and this one was so good. Luke has an opportunity that could help save the ranch but he needs a fiancé. Kelli has wanted Luke for years so she agrees to play being his fiancé and attend a gala with him.

This was a heartwarming story with strong found family elements and an unexpected surprise for Kelli. I’m really enjoying this series.

Never miss what is right in front of you!

Family, the protection of a man you love and a future full of possibilities! Great book!

Heart want what it want even we don't see it yet!

Kelli James has had crush on Luke since about time she showed up at the ranch to work, she does have secret and past she rather forget, she love her job and her life where she is.

Luke worries about ranches future when a chance comes up that might save them, he leaps at it without talking to Kelli first he submit his info for a huge event that could make them, only he put her down as his fiancé it kind of thing might wanna talk about first!

They go it goes well though something came out of the whole ordeal no one saw coming, What is it? you have to listen read to find out!

a fun and sexy listen

Luke Stone and Kelli's story. Fake dating, forced proximity,

Kelli has worked for the Stone ranch for years and secretly had a crush on Luke. Loved these two together. Can be a standalone but best if read in order.

The author creates a great small town, ranch world that you can't help but get lost in.

The narration was great.

AWESOME WONDERFUL

This is an awesome book. this is the third book in the heart falls series it is my fave. This story has so many good points to it. How family and love is the greatest. This book is also hard to leave a review for because you don't want to give the story away. I will just say it is a must read and you do not have to do the books prior but I would recommend it.

Finding Part of the Future in the Past

I absolutely love Kelli James and Luke Stone together! They're story is full of love, family, and friendships (common themes in Vivian's books). There are surprises and twists and a punch of angst, but mostly it is love and passion. I just wish there was more of it!

The forced proximity definitely helped things steam up. The long-time crush realized is so sweet. There's discovered family and more.

As scary as it can be, I love how Kelli is willing to stick her neck out to help women in trouble get to safety. I like that Luke puts two and two together and starts to form a picture of who she really is and what makes her tick.

When it comes to Luke, he proves he can wrangle a filly. 🫣🤠🪢🔥 When he's curbing those hot caveman tendencies, he shows what a tender and caring heart he has. 😍💜

I received an author's copy of the audio book. The narrator is Tatiana Sokolov. She consistently provides a good listening experience.
