Courageous Love by Susan K. Marlow Book Review

Andrea Carter is finally pulling her own weight on the Circle C Ranch she loves. The only thing she loves more than helping to run the ranch is spending time racing and stunt-riding on her horse Shasta, with the help of wrangler Riley Prescott. Little does she know that when she and Riley stumble onto a mysterious cut in the fence around her brother's prize calves, life is about to get far more exciting--and dangerous.

A cryptic warning tied around a brick crashes through the window at a family party. Then cattle begin to die. When the horse barn catches fire, Andi knows this is more than just coincidence. But who is trying to hurt her family--and why? Evidence begins to point to criminals from her brother Justin's past who want revenge. But that discovery may be too late to keep Andi and her brother's family out of danger.

Now Riley is her only hope of rescue. Can he find her before she disappears from the Circle C forever? Can she keep everyone else safe until then?

The fourth volume in the Circle C Milestones quartet, Courageous Love is high on action, danger, and drama, and full of appealing characters readers love. Andi's final adventure, sparked with a little romance, is sure to please Marlow's legions of loyal readers who want a happy ending for this frontier heroine.

 My Thoughts:

Many years ago my daughter came across Susan K. Marlow’s books at the TPA Homeschool Convention. She was attracted to the plastic horses and then her eyes went wide when she seen the picture of a horse and a girl her age on the book cover. She was sure then that she would love all the books. We have read every book in all of the series and she would happily tell you that she loves them all. If you’re wondering about more of the books you can see that there are several series for all ages.

Circle C Beginnings for ages 6-9

Circle C Stepping Stones ages 7-10

Circle C Adventures for ages 9-14

Circle C  Milestones for ages 12+

Goldtown Adventure for boys 8-12

This is the 4 th and final book in the Circle C Milestones series. My daughter and I were sad to see it come to an end. We were not disappointed in the story plot. My daughter had two of her favorite characters Riley and Andi together again. We both have hoped to see these two take their friendship to the next level. We love that there is action, suspense, Godly characters, and it can be funny at times.

I love that lessons are learned and prayers are lifted up in all aspects of life both the good and the bad in the story. The family ties are close and they just tug at your heart.

Susan K. Marlow makes all the characters realistic and down to earth. Then you have Shasta and the other horses. My daughter was sad over the lost of Taffy and wasn’t very happy about that in the last book. Shasta has won her heart in this story.

I’m not going to give away any spoilers so you are going to have to read the book for yourself.

As always I love the Godly characters that Susan K. Marlow presents in her books. Seeing Andi growing up with in the pages of these books has been delightful.  

Currently we are reading the newest series Circle C Stepping Stones and I can’t wait to share about them.

I highly recommend this fantastic story. My daughter gives her approval also.
