The Rancher's Texas Twins book is a really good book that emphasizes the point that it is never too late for love and that love can find us when we least expect it.

Gabe Everett is a Rancher that works with boys at the Haven Ranch. It takes in boys that need a home and gives them a place to live and gives them hope. In order to save the Haven Ranch, he has to find Avery Culpepper and get her to stay until the reading of her grandfather's will. Gabe finds Avery and has her in Haven, Texas but Avery has anger towards her grandfather and is undecided about whether she and her twin daughters should stay. Gabe convinces Avery to stay and invites her and her twins to stay at his home. Gabe is not a family man but soon finds himself attending tea parties with cute hats and building swing sets. He also finds himself falling for Avery but Avery has been hurt and Gabe feels like she needs a family man instead of him. Avery has been hurt before and is fearful about giving her heart to Gabe.

Haven, Texas is a small community where people really care about one another and soon Avery finds she has support and friends. She has a home in Tennessee but no friends there. She has to decide whether she should stay in Haven and become a part of the community where she and her twins are accepted.

I really enjoyed the book and found it really has heart. It is a book in the Lone Star Cowboy League series. I am anxious to begin the other books so that I can see how the other couples found one another. The community has a sneaky way of matchmaking that really draws the reader in.

This is the sixth and final book in the Lone Star Cowboy League Continuity Series. I have enjoy this series and have actually bought these books. Most of the books I review are books that are sent to me to read and review but the last five books I paid for, I liked it that much. This book is well written and heart warming.(As are all of Allie's stories) I know you will love the book.
Rancher Gabe Everett is the president of the Lone Stay Cowboy League. They are in charge of the boy's home; a ranch that Gabe had once attended when his life fell apart. The boys ranch has moved into a new facility but the inheritance comes with stipulations. They have met several but there was still two more to go. The first one, Avery is here in town but is very angry at her grandfather for putting her in this mess, the other is to find his grand father and they have very little time to accomplish it. Avery was being thrown out of the bed and breakfast so he did the only thing he could, he brought them home, an invasion of tiny pinkness. How can he deal with all these girls?
Avery Culpepper grew up in foster homes; she didn't have a home like these boys did, love, understanding, and guidance. Her grandfather left her a small rustic cabin and then left the rest of his estate to the boys home. At first she really resented it but as she came to know the boys and the staff she decide to stay and help. Much of that had to do with Gabe; who although he is a solitary man he asked her and her twin four years to come stay with him at his ranch. He only did it to keep her here until the celebration. As Avery watches him deal with her daughters she is drawn to him. But she also watches him fall apart as they are unable to find his grandfather. Everything depended on finding this man.
A journey of these two solitary broken souls. God has a plan for these two, for the girls they are caring for, and for the boys ranch that means so much for them. God has a plan for you too. Just surrender your heart and watch Him turn your life around.

Avery is asked to come and complete the request of her grandfather and she is not happy about it and this is the last thing she wants to do. She needs to get back to her life in Tennessee with her girls but it seems that everyone wants something from her. Will she be able to figure out whats needed of her and help Gabe get what he needs?
This book was super sweet love story. The book draws you in and keeps you drawn in through out the whole book. The storyline was super fun to follow even though this book is part of a series the book and story was super easy to follow and catch up with however the author did a good job at wanting to go back and read the other books in the series. The book is a good clean romance and is suitable for all readers. I really enjoyed the fun characters in this story and the two little girls in the story added a fun element to the story i found myself laughing at their antics when there where some intense situations the author wrote in there crazy antics and made the book so much fun to read. If you are looking for a quick read thats a super fun read this book is so worth the read.

His life is upended by 2 little girls & their mom!

What a cute story! Allie Pleiter is always good for a sweet romantic story, but, when she adds kids to the mix, well, the adorableness factor shoots through the roof. The Rancher's Texas Twins was no exception! She totally had me when the hero starts referring to the heroine's twin daughters as “tiny pinkness.” Isn't that perfect?!

I'd previously read a couple of the Lone Star Cowboy League: Boy's Ranch series, and knew about the problems trying to fulfill the terms of the will in order for the boys ranch to inherit the property, so it was really nice to see all of those threads sewn up in this story.

I really enjoyed reading The Rancher's Texas Twins. It was cute, poignant, romantic, and even a little funny when Gabe is totally confounded by Avery's little girls. It's because of stories like this one that Allie Pleiter is one of my favorite Love Inspired romance authors. Great reading!

Double Trouble (Rancher) Gabe Everett will do whatever it takes to keep Avery Culpepper in Texas until the end of the month. Even if it means inviting the beautiful single mom and her mischievous twin girls to stay on his property. Avery holds one of the keys to saving Haven's Boys Ranch, but Gabe tries not to let his interest go beyond business. He's not a family man, and Avery needs someone who will be there for her and her daughters unlike her granddad and husband. Yet as the girls overrun his orderly ranch with their tea parties, girlie cuteness, and pinkness, Gabe finds himself softening just a little. Finding his granddad proved futile until he reveals he’s the ranch hand that has lived there for years. Could a family to love be exactly what this solitary rancher needs?

I LOVED Gabe and Avery's story!! Avery heads to Haven, TX to find out about her birth family, and specifically what her grandfather may have left her. Of course, she brings her four-year-old twin daughters with her. Gabe loves his peace and quiet, but when he finds out Avery and the twins may leave before the deadline of her grandfather's will, he has to step up fast to get them to stay. Once the twins work their way into his heart, will their mother be far behind?

amazing

This is a great story with great characters and a great ending to this series. Keep the Kleenex handy and a smile on your face

[Anna Mattocks · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was a fun read! It was cute and adorable but realistic enough to believe it could happen.

[June · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gave was a strong character throughout the series and his roll in the final outcome to the boys ranch is very important. When they find the real Avery and she brings her daughters with her, Gage can't help but bend over backwards to help the "tiny pinkness" to keep them around long enough. And the final twist of the story was awesome.

Once again, not a lot of connection to the other continuity series, other than the Cowboy League that continued on from the original series. Great authors and a good job on connecting the characters of the individual series sections. Next month the final installment of the Love Inspired Historical second part of the continuity ends. I will then read the final three books and see how things wrap up.

Miniseries: Lone Star Cowboy League: Boys Ranch

[Bonnie · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Rancher's Texas Twins the last book in The Lone Star Cowboy League: Boys Ranch series by Allie Pleiter. This book was not a let down. Avery Culpepper is one of the last to be found before the will can be final on the 20th of the month. Avery arrives with twin girl four year old. Dinah and Debbie. They are very active four year old. They have no place to stay. Gabe Everett lives along in a big ranch house of his own. He invites them to stay with him. An older married couple is the housekeeper and grounds person. They get the house ready for the girls and Avery. A pink bedroom. Gabe isn't use to kids around. Some really funny things go on with the girls. They call Gabe "Mr. Boots" Funny. The last person they have to find is Gabe's grandfather. Which they haven't been able to locate. In the end we find out who the grandfather is. Also that the boys at the ranch have been behind the love connection between couple in the town. Funny. Romance happens between Gabe and Avery. A very good read.

Another in the Lone Star Cowboy series, the real Avery has come to town but Gabe must make sure she stays while doing everything he can to track down his long lost grandfather. Add in precocious four year old twin girls with a love of pink and Gabe the terminal bachelor's life goes on a trip he could never have prepared for. Gabe had a heart of gold but when it comes to letting himself let people in... he has a mile high ten foot thick wall around his heart. Tea parties and swing sets are just what he needs to change his tune, even if he doesn't know it yet.

The Texas ranchers twins

The real Avery has been found, this is a part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. Avery has twin girls, the are so cute. Gabe is trying to save the boys ranch but still trying to find more details of the will. I was given an advanced copy of the book by the author, enjoyed it very much and definitely recommend it.

Double the Adorable!

I’ve heard it said that puppies and babies sell. In my opinion, toddlers who get into mischief and speak their minds like only kids can make great fodder for stories. Allie Pleiter doubles the trouble with twin four-year-old-girls, and some of the fun they get into is delightful.
Gabe Everett is a stoic rancher who likes to be alone but when his house is invaded by “pinkness,” the girls, as well as readers, get some giggles out of the arrangement. It was endearing to read about this big, handsome rancher having a tea party with the twins. Even though he claims to be a loner, the small humans—and their mother—become as much a part of him as the land and the boys’ ranch he’s doing his best to keep alive.
A fun story filled with the antics of the twins, the doubts of a woman who has known too much loss, and a man who is determined to keep his distance despite his change of heart.

What kind of person would ever have something written in their will that would force people to find 1 grand daughter and 3 former owners of a building by a certain date? Cyprus Culpepper, that is who. If this is not done, a boys home would be sold and the boys would have to be placed somewhere other than the loving organization they are now in. Gab never thought the grand daughter would come with twin daughters. What a challenge.
This book was an easy read The story was funny at times and did cause me to chuckle out loud.

I really enjoyed this book . I was not surprised by who the last member of the original boy's ranch.

[Pam Mooney · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a fun read! The story was engaging as the twins in their mischief endear their rancher host and the matchmakers of the town work their magic. I loved the will of the cantankerous deceased grandfather who seemed to plot to give everyone exactly what they needed at exactly the right time. The plot twists kept me engaged right to the end. I know I will want to go back and read the previous books in this series. A good read.
