A Time For Everything #5
A Time To Weep and A Time To Laugh
A handsome, yet disheveled man shows up at the ranch with twin redheaded girls. Will the girls steal Stormi’s heart or will the presence of this mystery man create an undeniable attraction? Nestled in the hills of the Lake Michigan shoreline, the ranch overlooks open fields and rich oak, maple and beech tree groves. It has been owned by the Katzen family for generations. Once a working ranch producing cattle and milking cows, it has now turned into a therapy ranch for a multitude of special populations. Fall festivities are in full order in the village of Little Bend, all the while Thanksgiving plans are being made at the ranch. Grayson Meade with his short well-kept hair and toned body is out of place as he arrived from New York searching for the support that only the ranch can provide him and his nieces. Stormi is planning to expand her budget and services to the ranch. How will the skills and ability of this newcomer connect with Stormi’s needs for expanding her animal therapy? A Time To Weep and A Time To Laugh is the fifth book in the Living River Ranch contemporary Christian romance series. All books written in this series follow Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 “A Time for Everything” If you like a cleanly written romance series with fully developed characters that move through a series of books, you will love the A Time For Everything Series.

Children are more important than a career
Grayson Meade, an uncle, and stockbroker quit when his boss said he couldn’t leave after getting a phone call informing him that his sister and her husband are dead--murdered, while his twin nieces, Phoebe and Emma, are in the house.
It has been four months since he started taking care of the children, and Grayson is at his wit’s end. The children have nightmares and are not talking. He sees an ad for Living River Ranch, bundles up the children and takes them to the ranch. He doesn’t care what it costs; the ranch team has to help the children.
After a couple of days, he asks if there is anything he can do, he needs to keep busy. He starts doing accounting and filling the ranch controller’s position.
Read to see if the ranch’s employees can help the two traumatized children. Can Grayson learn how to be a good father? Are Amy and Stormi able to help the twins? Who on the ranch will find a life’s partner in this story?

Every installment deals with some heartbreaking issues, but thankfully the Living River Ranch family, friends, and employees are there to help. This is the story of why Grayson brings his two identical twin nieces, Phoebe and Emma, to the ranch. Even though there is heartache on the Ranch, there is also the possibility of a new love story between Stormi and Grayson. I absolutely love this series and look forward to reading each new installment. If you haven’t meet these wonderful characters, do yourself a favor and get acquainted with them. You won’t be sorry.

It's a heartbreaking story involving twins aged 2,5 years old who stopped talking after a major shock in their lives. How the work done at the ranch recovers not only the twins but some other people who have also reached them and are working there. It also describes that sometimes changes represent a first major step for positive things starting to happen in life. From a big to a small city where everyone knows the other and helps the other and is not detached from humanity as it so frequently happens in the megalopolis. Beautifully written it gives a message of hope.

Book five brings us to a sad situation when Grayson brings his two young nieces to the ranch for help. After a trauma they are not sleeping and are no longer talking. As a result, their uncle and guardian is exhausted and at wits end as to how to help them. A wonderful and truly heartwarming story!

I knew from the start of the book that Grayson and the girls would relocate permanently! I was also super invested in the twins' progress! Stormi, too, opened up a lot in this story, and all were exciting to watch. As always, I'm excited to read the next! I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Book 5 and my favorite. Who wouldn't like poor little traumatized twin girls. Their uncle is trying to get them help after the death of their parents. Their mom was his sister so they aren't the only ones suffering. Hope you enjoy the story about their recovery as much as I did. Thanks to the author for my review copy of this book. If places like this don't exist, they need too.

Every book is better than the last. I enjoy reading Everlee's stories. Living River Ranch has become a wonderful healing place for people with traumas. Young twin nieces are brought to the ranch by their uncle.They had been traumatized by the death of their parents. The healing that happens is magical and the love that is found, is exception. I love this series and can't wait for the next ones. I received this book as a free gift in exchange for an honest review.

A stranger came to the ranch with his twin redheaded nieces to see if the people could help them. Their parents had been murdered and the twins were traumatized. Stormi and Grayson experienced instant attraction and began dating. The ranch is one big love boat. I loved this book

A sweet story. I liked getting to know Grayson and the girls. They are all very sweet and the slight romantic aspect really hit well.

I've read several of the novellas in this series and I still wish they were full novels. That being said I connected with the characters in this story a bit more so it gets a five.
