Book Review: The Only Exception by Mandi Blake

 


The Only Exception by Mandi Blake - 4 Stars (Book 3 in the Wolf Creek Ranch Series)

Mandi Blake's books are always heartwarming and this one was no exception. This had a little bit of suspense with the return of David, Everly's crazy ex-fiancé from book 2, Almost Everything. In this story, Cheyenne is paid by David to spy on Ridge Cooper, Everly's brother. David paints a terrible picture of Ridge but when Cheyenne gets to the ranch and starts to know Ridge, she realizes all too soon she made a big mistake....

Ridge was a great guy, one of my favorite guy characters who takes care of his family and has a heart for people. He is loyal, strong and just overall an awesome guy. The faith in Mandi's books always stand out and I really liked the prayers and faith elements in this one. 

Cheyenne was put in a tough position with needing help to pay for her mom's medical bills. I loved seeing her come to the realization that she made a mistake and trying to figure out what to do next to resolve it. I didn't love the kept secrets for as long as she did, but it made sense in this story as she was trying to figure out how to tell him and she stopped cashing the checks quickly, anticipating to do the right thing.

I really liked seeing characters from the previous books in this series. I think this book is best read in order of the series because you see so much of the details from book 2 in this one. Loving this series and excited to continue on.

Amanda's Cheese level rating: Block cheese but super sweet, quicker romance ;)
