Three Rivers Ranch #15

Fifteen Minutes of Fame

Rate this book
A nurse seeking for answers, a skeptical cowboy, and the legends of Three Rivers that help them see past their differences to the possibility of true love.



Navy Richards, a burnt-out pediatric nurse, is seeking solace and a fresh start in the fabled town of Three Rivers. Desperate to escape her past heartaches, she takes a leap of faith, embarking on a six-month sabbatical to consult with the town's renowned matchmaker. That's when she meets Gavin Redd, a handsome, hardworking cowboy who's as skeptical about the town's legends as he is irresistible.



Gavin has little patience for the myths surrounding Three Rivers and the busloads of hopeful women who believe in them. He's too preoccupied with caring for his grandparents and securing a job at Three Rivers Ranch to entertain the idea of love.



But when a chance encounter with Navy and a runaway horse thrusts him into the town's limelight, he finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about love, about himself, and about Navy.



As Gavin and Navy navigate the town's enchanting tales, the glare of the public eye, and their own differences, they discover that their hearts might just be the perfect match. Can love and legend come together for Gavin and Navy to create a tale of true love? Or will the walls around Gavin’s heart be too strong for Navy to break down?



Discover the power of true love in the legendary town of Three Rivers today!

Learning About Yourself

Gavin's grandmother has been matching women to their soul mates for years. He doesn't believe in it as he has been hurt several times.

Navy is completely over the present ways of looking for someone to return her love. When she decides to travel to meet with the matchmaker. Like many before her, she thinks she is looking for someone with characteristics mentioned by the matchmaker. That is, until it clicks that she must look inward to discover herself ~

I had a free copy of this book, but this is my voluntary and honest opinion. Pediatric nurse Nancy Richards is tired of the dating game and travels to Three Rivers to consult with a well know matchmaker. The Matchmaker’s grandson, Gavin Redd is tired of women leaving him and of the matchmaking. He has been living in Three Rivers to watch over his elderly grandparents, but wants to purchase a ranch. He befriends Nancy while doing repair work on her rental house. They both must learn to trust God and themselves. A Heartwarming story.

Good story and a sweet romance, but needs editing. Often the sequence of events do not flow smoothly with delineation between them; commas are needed; there are sentence fragments; and incorrect pronouns and verb tenses need to be altered.
Not really typical of Ms. Isaacson's quality of writing, though the story was interesting.

It seems a bit odd to me that 3 Rivers has all this history and matchmaking but we haven’t heard of it until book 15. That said, there’s obviously a matchmaking theme in this book. I liked the bit of twist it was given. The characters were good and solid and enjoyable. I liked their adventures together.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

From mayhem th o matrimony

Navy & Gavin come into friendship bearing unmet expectations. Each is fearful of serious relay it and caution takes precedence over true love. Emotional decisions make for harsh consequences. Liz Isaacson is gifted in keeping you engaged until the very end.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Becky Dougherty. The interesting thing with this series of books is that not all of the featured couples end up in Three Rivers. This was a very enjoyable book. Liz Isaacson needs some work on her grammar. To Becky Dougherty: wafting is pronounced ‘WÄF-ting’—-baklava is pronounced ‘BÄK-luh-vah’—-not ‘buh- KLAH- vuh’.

Fifteen Minutes of Fame

This was a really great story. It is about finding true love, and believing it is the real thing. Gavin and Navy, she had gone to Three Rivers looking to find love, his grandmother was supposed to have inside on finding romance, so Navy was seeking her help.

Loved this book

This is one my favorites that Liz has written. Cowboy fiction is the type of book I love the best. We all struggle with forgiving ourselves for a mistake. She clearly illustrated that Jesus is the answer. Looking forward to next book.

Two people who are lonely, wanting to find love and their happy ever after. Strong attraction between these two, but each has troubles from the past that causes them to create obstacles. It's a very interesting book and I hope you give it a try.

A refreshing novel about perseverance, forgiveness, and finding love.

An intriguing storyline that kept me wanting to continue reading page after page! Navy has so many inner conflicts and self discovery I had to keep reading.

Navy and Gavin have been unlucky in love. One is still hopeful and the other not so much. Loved how they met and the angst along the way. Bride, Texas is one really friendly town - enjoyed getting to know the people. A clean, sweet romance with family issues as well as self-discovery.

The story was easy to relate to and showed emotions. Recommend for someone looking for a short clean romance story. This book is part of Three Rivers Ranch it can be read as a stand-alone. I like how each book builds off a character in a past book but doesn’t require you to have to read series in order to fully enjoy.

I loved this whole series. The way they all joined together is some way was really appealing to me. All the characters are well portrayed so well and fit together. Liz writes wonderful romances and keeps the loop going. This series is worth the read.

Really enjoyed this book. Good story line...if a little "strange". Navy and Gavin both have had their hearts broken way too many times and they are cautious, but still harbor some hope. Hope and perseverance are key to life in most situations...especially love.

The beautiful fountain

Once again this series just gets better. Forgiving oneself is always the hardest one to forgive. If you want the forever kind of love stop looking and wait for God.

I enjoyed this story of love between two people who are a bit skeptical of love but desire a family and to see their dreams come true. I love that they each were willing to leave the unknown to follow dreams elsewhere.

Hmm

I generally like all of these author's books, but this one I didn't like as much due to the zodiac references and romance myths, since this is supposed to be in the Christian genre. The characters are good, however.
