Finding Stefanie and contest


Title: FINDING STEFANIE
Author: Susan May Warren
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers
June 2008
ISBN: 978-1-4143-1019-0
Genre: Inspirational/romance

Stepanie Noble had big plans for her life, but w hen she put her dreams on hold to help her dad run the family ranch, she felt life was passing her by. Now, the ranch no longer needs her. Nick and his wife Piper are running the ranch, and Stephanie is just in the way.

Lincoln Cash is a hot, sought-after movie star, but he has a crippling disease. Lincoln hopes to regroup and salvage his pride by moving to his new ranch in Montana and starting a film festival. He doesn’t expect to arrive and discover that three runaways have accidentally burned his house down.

Lincoln is angry about the lose of his home, and threatens to call a social worker to collect the children, but his new neighbor Stefanie, kicks up a fuss. She takes in the kids, and opposes all his plans from the git-go. What’s a guy to do when he wants to get on the feisty female rancher’s good side? But unfortunately, a turn-around doesn’t come without a price—someone is out for revenge. But who is the real target?

FINDING STEFANIE is book three in the Noble Legacy series, but it is easily stands alone. I was looking forward to reading FINDING STEFANIE after reading the other books in this series, and it didn’t disappoint.

Stefanie is a realistic heroine, and Lincoln turned out to be a lot nice hero than I thought he would be. A full cast of well-rounded secondary characters complete the story. I especially loved Gideon, the eighteen-year-old runaway. The faith message is expertly woven in and isn’t preachy and the setting is important to the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading FINDING STEFANIE and highly recommend this book. I’m looking forward to reading her new PJ Sugar series beginning in March 2009. Susan May Warren is definitely a writer to watch. Don’t miss FINDING STEFANIE or any of Susie’s books. $12.99. 351 pages.
