Sara Richardson brings us the conclusion to her Heart of the Rockies series in this stunning, heartwarming novella.
SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW-AND
SOMETHING SHE NEVER EXPECTED . . .
If anyone had told Ruby James she'd be
marrying the man of her dreams after starting over at the Walker Mountain
Ranch, she'd have keeled over laughing, if not crying. Yet here she is: ready
to walk down the aisle with her soul mate, Sawyer Hawkins-and make the adoption
of their sweet foster daughter, Brooklyn, official. But just days before the
event that will make their family complete, a miraculous little wrinkle appears
in her plans . . .
Ruby's already the most beautiful
woman in the world to Sawyer, but she seems to be glowing even more than usual
. . . and now he knows why. Sawyer couldn't have wished for more. Soon enough
he'll have a new wife, a new daughter, and a new bundle of joy. But not
everyone sees a happy future for him and Ruby. With a blizzard rolling in,
Sawyer must help his family-to-be weather a different kind of storm-and clear
the skies for an unforgettable Rocky Mountain wedding.

Review:
This was a great conclusion to this series by Richardson. I really liked how she wrapped it up with all the characters I have grown to love with Ruby and Sawyers wedding. Of course in true Richardson fashion there are some surprises that helped make this story even better then I imagined.
If you haven't read the previous books I recommend that you do before you read this novella. So Ruby and Sawyer are finally getting married! Yippee! Because these two definitely belong together and both these characters have come such a long way.
I really liked how they accepted Brooklyn and brought her into the family. I could tell right away they were going to make the perfect family. I also enjoyed catching up with all the characters from the previous books and loved seeing how close they all were. They are truly one big happy family.
I'm sad this series has to come to an end but I am looking forward to seeing what will be next for Richardson. Her writing is captivating and her characters well developed. This series is a must read!

Excerpt
As a little
girl, Ruby had dreamed about her wedding day.
In the midst
of the ugliness and fear that had filled her world, she would imagine that
someday everything would change. She’d pictured it happening the same way it
had for Cinderella—the white horse and carriage, the prince, the castle so
lovely and enchanted and the entire town celebrating.
What she saw
in front of her was even more beautiful than a fairy tale like that. Because it
was real. From her place on the top tier of the ranch’s back patio, she gazed
out on the powdered mountain peaks glowing in the soft pink light of the
setting sun. She saw the evergreens—their branches laden with last night’s
snowfall—sheltering the perimeter of the beautiful stone patio below, where all
of her favorite people in the world had gathered near the wooden arch Sawyer
had built himself.
Tiki torches
lined the edges, adding to the glow of warmth and happiness, despite
forty-degree temperatures. They’d known it would be cold, so they’d decided to
keep the ceremony short, but she could stand up here for hours, watching their
few bundled guests mingle in hushed excitement—Sawyer’s parents; Elsie and
Thomas, who had agreed to marry them; a couple of the ranch hands and guides; a
whole crew of Sawyer’s colleagues, dressed in their starched uniforms.
The harpist
they’d hired started to play, delicate notes floating on the calm mountain
breeze. As if on cue, the door to the pool house north of the patio opened and
Sawyer emerged, looking so tall and strong, so handsome in a crisp white shirt
and pressed khakis. The groomsmen followed him—Bryce and Ben and Isaac—all of
them tugging on their bow ties as though they were being strangled.
Ruby couldn’t
help but laugh. At least she hadn’t made them wear tuxes. They probably
would’ve staged a revolt.
“Ready?”
Paige asked, bouncing up and down like she couldn’t wait anymore.
Ruby reached
over and grabbed Brookie’s hand. They were going to walk down the aisle
together, but they had to go last.
“After you.”
Ruby stepped aside so Paige and Avery and Julia could start the parade. They
moved down the center of the crowd in a slow processional, even Paige, which
was a miracle given how fast that woman usually liked to go.
“Mom?”
Brookie tugged on the skirt of her dress.
She leaned
down. “What is it, sweet girl?”
“I’m so
nervous,” her daughter whispered. “There’s a lot of people down there.”
She knelt.
“Don’t focus on the people, honey.” She smoothed Brookie’s lovely hair. “This
is about you and Dad and me. That’s all. Focus on the three of us. On our
family.”
