Beyond Granite Falls #3
Pleasing Mindy
She trusted him. He betrayed her. Is it too late for the truth?
Born and raised in England, Galen Carmichael grew up believing that his father died before he was born—because that is what his mother told him. But one phone call and an invitation to visit the United States from an American billionaire half-brother he never knew existed debunks that lie, and changes Galen's life in ways he never would have imagined.
The moment he walked into the exclusive boutique where she works, single mother of two, Mindy Marshall, fell hard and fast for the handsome Brit who tells her that his deepest desire in life is to please her. He proves it by treating her like a princess and doting on her young fatherless children. However, when Galen abruptly disappears from Mindy’s life for eight long months, she slowly comes to realize that what a man says, is not always what he means.
Can Galen and Mindy find their way back to each other, or will the malicious acts of another, and the shocking revelations of their parents’ pasts forever keep them apart?
Pleasing Mindy is the third book in the Beyond Granite Falls series, a spin-off of the Billionaire Brides of Granite Falls.

I adored this story of Mindy and Galen. Through all of the ups and downs and heartaches they still loved.

Pleasing Mindy, to say I was over the top excited to read their story. It was well worth the wait, their story was nothing like I expected. the drama, twist and turns, throw in a few surprises along the way, and you won't be able to put it down.
Although, I miss all the other characters in Granite Falls, but this story had to be told. the emotional pulls everywhere! I got to visit with my favorite Ballionaire (Massimo)!!!! The family found forgiveness, courage for Mindy and the spirit of Love was felt throughout the book. So, Yes, I highly recommend this as one of my favorite read this year.
Happy Holidays!

This is the ultimate story of healing and love on all levels! Ana E. Ross does it again! This story was well written, a page turner, with little surprises at every corner. I love any story that involves Massimo, so this was a double treat for me! I truly love the world of Granite Falls and Beyond. This is a story that will truly tug at the heartstrings, so gram some tissues and enjoy! I look forward to more stores from Ana E. Ross!

Healing and forgiveness
Ana E Ross told a beautiful story of forgiveness, healing and tested relationships. Although it wasn't as "steamy" as her stories usually are. It was still enjoyable and refreshing.

Galen & Mindy
Enjoyed the final book in this series. Was a little concerned, due to the length of time since the last book, but the author did a great job throughout the book given us recaps from the previous books. Ms. Ross still possess her writing skills, and this was a sweet love story. I enjoyed how both characters had grown in maturity since the last book.
Looking forward to more books by this author; she was missed.

August 24, 2022A second-chance romance of misunderstanding and betrayal, Pleasing Mindy will melt your heart as you follow Galen and Mindy on their journey to find forgiveness, peace, and the love that they so very much deserve.
When Galen began telling me his heart-breaking story in Surrey, I thought no way will he be able to convince Mindy to forgive him. I knew that because at the same time, she was reminiscing about their past, and vowing not to ever allow him or any other man into her heart again. I felt Mindy’s frustration. She was so young and had been hurt in so many ways, I thought Galen’s betrayal was surely the end of her. But, I was wrong. She was a single mother and her children gave her the strength and determination to bust out of her emotional and psychological prisons to create a better life for them than she had for herself.
When he finally returned, Galen had his work cut out for him, but love conquers all, and Galen and Mindy did find their Happily Ever After.

This story had an original plot and lots of twists and turns. Galen and Mindy were apart for 8 months, and she thought he abandoned her when there was so much more involved. He was determined to win her back no matter how long it took. This book was a slow burn romance full of steam, family, secrets revealed, healing, friendship, philanthropy, single parents, true love, crime, danger, forgiveness, and a HEA. The book was full of rich, well developed characters and deep enlightening conversations. The dialogue flowed really well, and I loved all the characters, even those that needed to find peace and redemption.

'Can Galen and Mindy find their way back to each other, or will the malicious acts of another, and the shocking revelations of their parents’ pasts forever keep them apart?'
The characters were very complex and complicated and perfectly steamy together. Plot was intriguing and intense and well paced. World building was excellent and solidly drawn. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.
Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy!.

Galen and Mindy had me all caught up in this emotionally charged story. I loved the dynamics of the story and how they found their way back to each other in spite of everything that happened.
