Another fantastic Wolf Creek Ranch book。 Cheyenne Keeton has a hidden agenda when she is hired to help Ridge Cooper。Ridge isn't looking for love。 Cheyenne finds out all she thought about Ridge is wrong。 Can they build a life together？ What about the man behind her hidden agenda？ Another fantastic Wolf Creek Ranch book。 Cheyenne Keeton has a hidden agenda when she is hired to help Ridge Cooper。Ridge isn't looking for love。 Cheyenne finds out all she thought about Ridge is wrong。 Can they build a life together？ What about the man behind her hidden agenda？ 。。。more

The Only Exception is a clean， heartwarming romance with plenty of angst and suspense。 Cheyenne， desperate for a job to care for her mother and sister， takes a job that seems to good to be true。 Ridge lost everything protecting his sister。 Ms。 Blake's well written story will draw you in as Cheyenne appears to work for Ridge while spying on Ridge for David。 The blurb has the plot。 I do not want to leave any spoilers so all I can say is that you do not want to miss this wonderful book。 I love the The Only Exception is a clean， heartwarming romance with plenty of angst and suspense。 Cheyenne， desperate for a job to care for her mother and sister， takes a job that seems to good to be true。 Ridge lost everything protecting his sister。 Ms。 Blake's well written story will draw you in as Cheyenne appears to work for Ridge while spying on Ridge for David。 The blurb has the plot。 I do not want to leave any spoilers so all I can say is that you do not want to miss this wonderful book。 I love the ending and I could not put the book down！ 。。。more

Fantastic read this book is beautiful written fast pace， clean the story is about making bad choices out of desperation， how mistakes from the past can hunt you for as long as you let them more importantly how love and understanding friendship and family overcome anything and I love the part of karma play in this book。 I recommend it to anyone。 I got an ARC and is is my honest and voluntary review

So good！ Ridge and Cheyenne are so sweet。 I love how Cheyenne was supposed to get dirt on Ridge but ended up falling in love with him。 Great characters and story line。 Love how Ridge got her dad to come meet her and she let him explain why he hadn't been part of her life。 Great writing！ I received an advanced copy of this book， however， I am voluntarily sharing my honest opinion。 So good！ Ridge and Cheyenne are so sweet。 I love how Cheyenne was supposed to get dirt on Ridge but ended up falling in love with him。 Great characters and story line。 Love how Ridge got her dad to come meet her and she let him explain why he hadn't been part of her life。 Great writing！ I received an advanced copy of this book， however， I am voluntarily sharing my honest opinion。 。。。more

I was so excited to read this next book in the Wolf Creek Ranch series because I really liked the characters from the previous books。 This book was really good。 I liked the characters， their faith， the suspense， and the anticipation of what could happen next。 I also liked learning more about Ridge and meeting Cheyenne and her family。 It was an interesting story。 I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review。

Really Great Christain Series This story is so good。 I loved the story and the characters。 I also enjoyed catching up with characters from previous books。 I had been waiting for Ridge to get his story and it didn't disappoint。 Ridge and Cheyenne have a rocky beginning but with their faith and great group of friends find their way to their HEA。 A really great read。 Really Great Christain Series This story is so good。 I loved the story and the characters。 I also enjoyed catching up with characters from previous books。 I had been waiting for Ridge to get his story and it didn't disappoint。 Ridge and Cheyenne have a rocky beginning but with their faith and great group of friends find their way to their HEA。 A really great read。 。。。more

Cheyenne is desperate for work to support her family and when she gets offered a *very* well paying job to spy on an evil man， she tells her conscience is it ok because the man - Ridge - deserves to pay for what he has done。 Only Ridge isn't evil and the more she gets to know him the more she realises that the guy paying her is the problem - but she is trapped， she can't pay back the money nor confess to Ridge what she has done。 A compelling and enjoyable read， Christian without being preachy or Cheyenne is desperate for work to support her family and when she gets offered a *very* well paying job to spy on an evil man， she tells her conscience is it ok because the man - Ridge - deserves to pay for what he has done。 Only Ridge isn't evil and the more she gets to know him the more she realises that the guy paying her is the problem - but she is trapped， she can't pay back the money nor confess to Ridge what she has done。 A compelling and enjoyable read， Christian without being preachy or characters too good to be true， this is a book with less than perfect characters dealing with real world issues。 I received an arc but this review is my own。 。。。more

Mandi Blake always writes the most heartwarming romances with great relatable characters。 She also likes to keep us on our toes with a sprinkling of suspense。 In The Only Exception， Cheyenne is basically being paid to spy on Ridge， so I was wondering just how Ms。 Blake was going to write her so that we understood why she was doing what she was doing and still like her。 I’ve got to admit， I was already on Ridge’s side before the story even started！ While I didn’t like that Cheyenne was spying on Mandi Blake always writes the most heartwarming romances with great relatable characters。 She also likes to keep us on our toes with a sprinkling of suspense。 In The Only Exception， Cheyenne is basically being paid to spy on Ridge， so I was wondering just how Ms。 Blake was going to write her so that we understood why she was doing what she was doing and still like her。 I’ve got to admit， I was already on Ridge’s side before the story even started！ While I didn’t like that Cheyenne was spying on Ridge， I did understand why she felt like she had to take the job and I appreciated her loyalty to her family。 I also liked that she struggled with what she was doing， especially as she got to know Ridge， and that she was willing to admit that maybe she had misjudged him。 Speaking of Ridge， he was my favorite character！ I loved his heart for people， his strength， his loyalty to his sister， and…well， honestly I loved everything about him！Although this is the third story in the Wolf Creek Ranch series， I believe each could easily be read as standalones。 I have enjoyed each story and this series is turning into my favorite series of Mandi Blake’s， so far！ 。。。more

Cheyenne is in a desperate situation when she accepts a job that sounds too good to be true。 Her mother’s medical bills will get paid and she can support her sister too。 All she has to do is spy on a man， gather certain information and report back to her new boss。 When she gets to know Ridge， the enemy of her boss， she finds he is nothing like the terrible man her boss painted him to be。 Ridge is a good man who is focused on helping kids with the new Youth Learning Program。 He is well liked by e Cheyenne is in a desperate situation when she accepts a job that sounds too good to be true。 Her mother’s medical bills will get paid and she can support her sister too。 All she has to do is spy on a man， gather certain information and report back to her new boss。 When she gets to know Ridge， the enemy of her boss， she finds he is nothing like the terrible man her boss painted him to be。 Ridge is a good man who is focused on helping kids with the new Youth Learning Program。 He is well liked by everyone around him and she sees no tendencies toward violence。 Ridge is fiercely protective of his sister， and he is set on not making life easy for the man who hurt his sister both physically and emotionally。 That man is Cheyenne’s secret boss。 Cheyenne finds herself in one heck of a mess。 She can’t betray the man she has come to admire and care about， but she needs the money to pay her mother’s medical bills。 She also faces anger and rejection from Ridge if she tells him about what she was really hired to do。 The rest of Ridge and Cheyenne’s story is an illustration of listening to your conscience， following God’s guidance， and trusting one’s instincts and faith。 Both Ridge and Cheyenne never expected love to be part of their story， and now they have to work hard to defend and keep it。This book is another wonderful book to add to my keeper list。 I found both the characters and storyline to be fascinating and captivating。 I look forward to reading the next book in the series。 I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review。 。。。more

I had an ARC for this book， but this is my voluntary and honest opinion。 Ridge Cooper， former NFL player now works on Wolf Creek Ranch and is starting a youth program。 Hired to be his assistant is Cheyenne Keeton。 She is also working for Ridge’s enemy David Lang in order to pay for her mother’s rehabilitation treatments following a stroke。 This book involves issues of trust and seeing where right and wrong intersect。 Great drama and intrigue in this book too。 A must read。

I really enjoyed this story。 Cheyenne accepts a job to help look after her mum and sister but quickly realises it goes against her morals， especially as she gets to know the real Ridge。 As they face danger from past and present， their feelings， fears and future are tested。 Likeable characters and enjoyable series。 I would have liked to know the outcome of the youth programme （but maybe this will be in the next story）。I received an ARC of this book but voluntarily leave this review。

Cheyenne is desperate for a job so she can pay for her mother's care following a stroke， so when she's offered big bucks to secretly report on the doings of Ridge Cooper， an ex-football player who's spent time in jail for assault， she agrees。 Her history has given her preconceived ideas of both football players and abusers， so she has no compunction。 The only problem is that as she gets to know Ridge， she realises how unfair a picture she was given， and even starts to fall for him。 But the bills Cheyenne is desperate for a job so she can pay for her mother's care following a stroke， so when she's offered big bucks to secretly report on the doings of Ridge Cooper， an ex-football player who's spent time in jail for assault， she agrees。 Her history has given her preconceived ideas of both football players and abusers， so she has no compunction。 The only problem is that as she gets to know Ridge， she realises how unfair a picture she was given， and even starts to fall for him。 But the bills keep piling up。。。 Can Cheyenne find an answer that cares for her mother without destroying Ridge - or any hope of a relationship？I've been enjoying this new series， and it was good to see more of the characters from the earlier books （though this can easily be read as a standalone）。 However， some people don't know how to take no for an answer - and David is definitely one of those。 Nevertheless， I guess we have to forgive him because he introduces Cheyenne to Wolf Creek， and she's clearly perfect for Ridge。 That made for a satisfying story， when combined with David's behind-the-scenes machinations and Cheyenne's struggle to work out what was the right thing to do。 A good story， well written and with an inspiring message， that held my attention from the start。 I look forward to another visit to Wolf Creek Ranch soon！Note that I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author。 I was not required to write a positive review and this is my considered opinion of the book。 。。。more
