Synopsis

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julia London launches a triumphant, emotional, heartwarming story about finding love, family and home.Madeline Pruett has made up for a lonely childhood and being raised by an irresponsible single mom by creating a solitary world where timetables and highlighters are essential for the predictability she craves. But Madeline is shocked out of her carefully constructed life by word that a father she never knew has died and left her an inheritance and, surprisingly, two unknown sisters. Madeline hopes that she can fly to Colorado, meet her sisters, discover her inheritance, and return to Orlando in a few days to close the biggest deal of her budding real estate career and get back to what she knows best: a quiet life.For years, Luke Kendrick has juggled school and career and rescuing his family from illness, death and financial crisis. But he has never lost sight of his goals: building and selling his own dream homes. Just when it seems that dream might finally materialize, Luke is called home to Pine River, Colorado to reclaim the ranch his father lost in a gentlemen’s agreement. He is not surprised—Luke’s family knows he will put his life on hold to rescue them…again. But Luke is surprised by a sexy yet uptight button-up woman in impractical shoes who thinks his ranch now belongs to her.Madeline isn’t sure how to put order to a sprawling, rundown ranch, not to mention a pair of sisters who are nothing like what she imagined or hoped them to be. The only thing she’s sure of is that careful planning is useless in a place where roads have names like Sometimes Pass and men as ruggedly handsome as Luke Kendrick behave so unpredictably.As Luke and Madeline go toe to toe over the future of the ranch, sparks fly as hot and fiery as their kisses. Madeline thinks she’s the expert, but it’s Luke who teaches her a thing or two—about breaking down walls, finding home, and the true meaning of family.

four stars I just so happened to stumble across this book on amazon, and it sounded super cute. I especially love stuff about ranches and cowboys. Luke wasn't a cowboy to my disappointment.

Goodreads review by Ed on June 14, 2018

This was my first book by Julia London and I wasn’t disappointed. The story of Madeline and Luke was better than many romances I’ve read. Even though Madeline often does things to push others away, Julia London manages to keep the reader on her side. Luke’s brother had to be one of the better minor......more

Goodreads review by Mel on September 20, 2023

I struggled with this book at the start as it outlined the premise, which involved a ranch being left to 3 sisters who didn't grow up together. The details of the inheritance and way it was described was confusing and I didn't really have a clue what was happening. I wasn't going to persevere but I'......more

4 stars I was excited to start this book, because I had so much fun reading Julia London’s first book in The Fancy Lives of the Lear Sisters. I figured, this London chick knows how to write, so I picked up Homecoming Ranch, an August release. I’m glad I did. I’m going to admit I was confused in the be......more
