A Time For Everything #9
A Time To Search and A Time To Give Up
Who’s that knocking at my door? Come on in, stay awhile for sure! 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. The big, burly, yet misunderstood farmer, Maxwell, moves his farm further along with his plans for spring planting and a bulging livestock business. All the while, a beautiful young veterinarian finds that his farm animals are not the only thing she is interested in coveting. A road trip to Southern Illinois with a few friends winds up with an extra passenger on the ride back home. A new life begins with a stay at Maxwell’s farm for this mystery person who makes friends and becomes connected to the Little River Ranch community. Who else might show up, knocking at the door? A Time to Embrace and A Time To Refrain is the ninth 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.

This is the ninth 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” . Annalise and Maxwell are the main characters in this book book but you'll see many of your favorites from the previous books. This series is a joy to read and it is heartwarming to see how everyone helps each other on the ranch. The age difference between the two did not bother Annalise as she knew he 'was the one' the first time she met him. A great series that just gets better with each book. Well written with amazing characters who are likable and lovable. I read an arc and voluntarily chose to review.

Another sweet romance. There was an introduction of a couple new characters and I was excited to hear some of their history. I liked the path our two mains took and how the passage worked it’s way into this story.

This is Annalise and Maxwell's story. I just find it so comforting how everyone in Little Bend and on the ranch are so helpful to each other. The genuine concern and love are so evident. I urge you to read this series by Everlee Whitman.

Age Doesn’t Matter
This is Annalise and Maxwell’s story. He is older than her, but to her age doesn’t matter. When the heart knows what it wants it usually gets it. I enjoy reading this series and I can’t wait to read the next book

I love how the verse from the title was used in the book. In a critical way, actually! We got to find out more about Annalise and Maxwell, which is fun. Maxwell and his mother moved in together and gave up looking for his sister. Until she came and found them, anyway! I love the love stories told in each of these books, and the faith included! I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

We start learning more backstories about the residents in Little Bend.
Annalise is helping Katherine in the Grazinski Therapy Center and is assisting in therapy and surgeries after completing vet school. Katherine and Troy are now an item with her parents' blessing. Maxwell says that he has no interest in Katherine, although he might be getting to know Annalise better despite their age differences.
We learn that Maxwell and his father had been hunting one of his sisters, Trista, who disappeared after the suicide of her twin, Trenna. His parent's marriage broke up after the trauma.
Where we go from here? Will Maxwell reconcile with his mom and missing sister? What's going on with Stormi and Grayson? What happened to Erza Necome, the pastor's son? Has anyone ever told some of these people that they are just too up in your face sometimes?

This addition to the A Time For Everything series centers around Annalise and Maxwell. Annalise came to living River Ranch for a job and learns she has a sister in Stormi. Maxwell thinks he may be too old for Annalise, but she doesn’t agree. I just love how everyone helps each other on the Ranch and in Little Bend. I can’t wait to read the next installment to this amazing series. If you’re looking for a sweet, inspirational romance series, I highly recommend these books.

I enjoyed reading this story as it clearly shows that age is not barrier when there is love. Every difficulty can be surpassed if we try hard enough and believe hard enough in a higher power. This is another lovely story with food for thought written by Everlee.

I am loving every book in this series! This book centers on Annalise and Maxwell. She arrives at Living River Ranch for a job and ends up meeting Maxwell. Although there is a difference in their ages, they are kindred spirits. This series just keeps getting better and I can’t wait for the next book!
