Bear Creek Saddle #3

The Rancher's Convenient Pregnant Bride

Rate this book

The handsome rancher has an offer for a modern marriage of convenience this city girl just can't refuse... for her baby's sake.


Eric Hunt, a handsome young rancher in the small mountain town of Bear Creek Saddle, Idaho, learns he can't have children of his own. His desperate prayers to God for healing are answered with a crystal-clear vision: a beautiful woman with warm brown eyes -- his future wife? -- and she's holding a baby. But how...and who?


Across the country, Lindsay Moore's glamorous Manhattan lifestyle is ripped out from under her when she falls victim to an investment scam, loses her job as an executive at the bank...and finds out she's pregnant by a man who wants nothing to do with her, or her baby. Abandoned and heartbroken, Lindsay is done with love.


When Lindsay's sister asks her to come out to Bear Creek Saddle Ranch to be her maid of honor and help plan her upcoming wedding, Lindsay has nowhere else to go. But she's completely out of place in the mountains, and without the sense of importance and identity her career and money used to give her, she feels lost. She's no longer sure of her value, and she never imagined she'd be in this predicament...single, broke, and raising her baby without a father.


Eric is the groom's best man, and when the bride-to-be's beautiful sister Lindsay arrives, they find themselves drawn to each other, despite all of their differences. With those warm brown eyes, could Lindsay be the one from his vision? When Eric discovers Lindsay is pregnant, he knows God sent Lindsay to him for a reason. Eric wants to marry her and be a father to her baby, even if they're not in love yet-- she's beautiful inside and out, and he feels called by God to make the proposal. For Lindsay, it's a way out of the mess she's made of her life -- an offer for a modern marriage of convenience that she just can't refuse.


But can a man and a woman with nothing in common, find common ground...and maybe even love...before their child is born?

About the author

Shoshanna Gabriel

5 books63 followers
Shoshanna Gabriel was previously known as Shoshanna Evers, a NY Times and USA Today bestselling author who wrote over
twenty-plus secular romance novels and novellas from 2009-2015. At the end of 2015, after much thought and prayer, Shoshanna changed her life and career path completely,
giving up a new six-book contract and literary agent for the privilege of writing for God's glory as Shoshanna Gabriel.

No one expected a Jewish erotic romance author from New York to move to the country and find Jesus, least of all Shoshanna herself--but God has a sense of humor, and that's what happened.

She took 2016 off from publishing to raise her new boy/girl twins, and started writing sweet Christian inspirational cowboy romance novels set in north Idaho, where she lives with her husband, homeschools their three kids, wrangles three big dogs named after flowers, and takes in the wonder of the incredible evergreen-covered mountain landscape.
For a detailed explanation of this big change, read her blog post “Saying Goodbye to Erotic Romance" at bitly.com/GoodbyeErotica

While published as Shoshanna Evers, Amazon had listed her as one of the “Most Popular Authors in Romance,” as well as one of the “Most Popular Authors in Contemporary Romance”. Reviewers have said Shoshanna has “…beautiful writing, and a truly imaginative and wonderfully descriptive storyline” (Night Owl Reviews) with stories where “the plot is fresh and the pacing excellent, the emotions…real and poignant.” (The Romance Studio).
She hopes to bring the gift of storytelling that God blessed her with to her new inspirational books written under the Gabriel name.

First, I have to thank Shoshanna Gabriel for sending me the proper version of this book after the Giveaway mix-up.

Lindsay and Eric's story was beautiful. By far my favorite in the series. Their story drew me in and made me cry. Eric's character - I absolutely fell in love with him. Would love to find my own real life Eric. I would highly recommend giving this love story a go.

This book is the third one in this series but rest assure, it’s a stand alone.
The story centers around Lindsay Moore, and Eric Hunt. Lindsay’s life has been turned upside down when she not only loses her prestigious job at a NYC bank, and is dumped by her boyfriend when she gets pregnant. When her sister calls her because she needs help in planning her wedding in Idaho, Lindsay decides to leave everything behind, and I mean everything, and gets on a plane to Idaho.
Eric Hunt, a young rancher, is devastated when he finds out he can’t have children. He turns to God for help, and his vision shows him a woman with a baby.
These opposite individuals meet since Eric is the best man of the wedding . When Lindsay arrives , he wonders if she is the woman of his vision and offers her a job. Even with their attraction , but also with their differences, can these two help each other? And at the end, can they really find their HEA by falling in love?
If you are looking for a sweet, clean, touching romance, this is the one for you.
I was gifted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Amazing love story

I received this book through a Goodreads giveaway, and this is my honest review. This is an amazing and heartfelt love story of Lindsay and Eric. They get married out of convenience when Lindsay finds out she is pregnant and her boyfriend wants her to abort the baby. She takes the money and uses it to fly from New York to Idaho where her sister lives instead of having the abortion. She meets Eric when he picks her up at the airport for her sister. They seem to like each other and Eric proposes and marries her after a week because he had a vision that Lindsay and her baby were who he was supposed to marry even though they didn't love each other. The rest of the story shows how they are coping as a married couple until the baby is born. The ending is a tearjerker so have your tissues ready. This book was more serious than book two, but I liked it better and couldn't put it down until I was finished. I highly recommend this book and all books by Shoshanna Gabriel. You won't be disappointed.

I want to thank Shoshanna Gabriel, author and Goodreads First Reads Giveaway for the eBook Kindle copy of The Rancher's Convenient Pregnant Bride ~ The Bear Creek Saddle ~ Book 3 that I won in the Giveaway.

Megan leaves her abusive ex=boyfriend far behind in New York City for a fresh start in Bear Creek Saddle, Idaho and meets Zach the first day.

A rescue from a bear, learning about ranching, phone calls from her abusive ex and getting to know people in her new church community just makes Megan more determined to be an independent woman that can stand on her own.

Zach had a successful ranch with his friends, was ready to settle down with a perfect ranch wife when the New York City Girl dropped into his life and he felt the special spark for her.

This is a Christian romance where family values are a strong part of the plot, even though they face everyday problems.

I won this Kindle E Book on Good Reads. It is a sweet inspirational romance story. Clean writing with great interesting characters and great plot. It is a quick read that is hard to put down. This is the first book I have read by this author and it is the first book that I have read in the series even though it is written third in the series. You can easily read this as a read alone book, though I look forward to reading more books in this series because I enjoyed it so much.
The main female character is getting away from NY City and her ex to start a new beginning in her life in the town of Bear Creek Saddle. The story tells of her adventure, difficulties and the meeting of a rancher that befriends her as well as her growing relationship with God.

After loosing everything Lindsey had nowhere to go but her sisters. There she not only finds love but also a father for her baby.
I1 haven't read this author before but was pleasently surprised to find characters described in such a way that they leap off the pages. I was unable to put this book down until finished. At times you may find yourself crying for Lindsey and Eric, all they want is a family and everyone seems against them. Love may not be logical but life for them is.

He Answers Prayers

Eric and Lindsay s story is beautifully written. A man who would like to marry and have kids of his own finds he cannot gather a child and the young woman who is alone and pregnant, no father for her baby. A warm and clean inspirational story of hope, love and devotion. A story any can read and learn that the Lord does answer prayers and he works in mysterious ways. Great work to the author!! Wish I could give more than five stars.

Heartwarming. Major decisions are made and learning to live with those decisions has different effects on everyone involved. The story shows how love can be found even in stressful circumstances. Trust and unconditional love are shown in this touching story. I received a copy of this story from the author. This is my own personal honest opinion. No review was required.

This was a super sweet book. The love they came to have for each other is great. I loved the way they made the baby enhance their relationship not lessen it. The one thing I didn't like was that it made it sound like love is often not real and is more of list. I didn't like that, but other than that it was great.
