I received this arc for an honest review.
Faith Macdonald is coming home after being gone for seventeen years. While Danny Miller has stayed at the home town and working the family ranch. When he hears and sees that Faith is back, he finds out she has taken over her father’s vet business. He thinks that the best thing for them is to talk about what happened seventeen years ago. Let’s just say it does not go well at the first talk.
What does happen is that people in town are upset with her but don’t know the whole story no one does. Even Faith realizes she does not have the entire story. The author keeps the story going between the two main characters as well as Faith and her parents who are away on vacation. The more you get into the story between Faith and Danny continues to grow and when they are working together because of an infection that is killing calves only this brings them working closer together and each remembering why they were together in the first place. This actually is a very good story and one that will keep you going from page to page.

Superb storyline! I am secretly hoping for a follow up book that goes into more detail about “Marcus” - gonna just say that to keep from spoiling anything! There is some adult material in the book but nothing too crazy - you can even skim that parts- which I did - and focused on the story itself. A great read about forgiveness and a relationship coming full circle. You will love how they work through their issues and cannot anticipate the ending.

The reno of an old mansion brings old secrets to light. Ms. Connolly’s Kate Hamilton character is determined to do right by the history of the mansion, only to find there’s much more than she dreamed. As she put together her team, she finds it’s even harder to get good contractors than she thought. The discoveries in the mansion shake her and her assistant to their core, but they persevere until they solve the manor’s mysterious past. The author tells a story with intrigue, angst and engrossing characters.
I requested and received a Netgalley ARC to peruse and offer my opinion gratis.

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion .
Danny and Faith were two 17 year olds in love but a tragedy draws them apart. Seventeen years later Faith comes back to their small town and as a vet she has no doubt she will run into Danny.
There are lots of unanswered questions between these two and will their past keep them apart or draw them closer? This book delves into the lives of these two and you will feel their hurt, pain and struggle to find their footing with each other.
4star read

Kate Pearce’s fifth book in the Millers of Morgan Valley series, Sweet Talking Rancher, is rife with heartwarming and heart tugging goodness that’ll literally leave you with a smile on your face. Danny’s stalwart and steadfast devotion and love for Faith is woven throughout...the author’s characterization of him gave my mind’s eye a full picture of the type of man any woman would want as dedicated to her as he was to Faith.

All in all the on going stories Ms Pearce has created continue to give me the happy opportunity to escape to Morgan Valley.

Danny Miller and Faith McDonald were once childhood sweethearts but when they were seventeen something created a huge rift in their relationship. Faith went away and had not returned to town until now. No one in town knows the real reason she left but as with every small town they certainly judged her. Now that she has returned, seventeen years later, to take over her father's veterinary business can she overcome that judgement?

Danny Miller has spent the last seventeen years working and living at his father's ranch.. When a scours outbreak happens on the ranch he turns to Faith to help figure out where the infection is coming from. Working close together has dredged up the past and old hurts. Can the two of them work together to figure out what is killing the Miller's cattle?

'Sweet Talking Rancher' is the first book I have ever read by Kate Pearce. It was a great read. I loved both the main characters and the realism of small town life. I rooted for the couple to work through their past problems and show each other how much they had grown over time. Even though this story has characters from the other books in the series I didn't feel lost for not reading them. I enjoyed Ms. Pearce's writing so much I have already purchased the first book in the series.

We are back in Morgan Valley with the Miller family. This time the story belongs to Danny Miller .
Seventeen years ago he and his 17 year old girlfriend went to Vegas to get married since she was pregnant. Unexpectedly , she got ill, was rushed to the hospital and Danny’s father took him back home. Never to know what happened with the baby and the girlfriend never returned home.
Faith McDonald is that girlfriend. She is back home, now a veterinarian, to work with her father and brother in their practice.
While Danny got everyone’s sympathy , Faith is now seen as the intruder.
But fate puts them together during a bovine infection. Old hurts resurface as well as secrets are revealed.
Can they forgive not only each other, but also themselves and all those involved in the secrecy?
While it was an engaging story, and I figured out immediately the cause of the infection, I would have preferred less time spent dealing with the sick cattle. I also felt the ending was rushed and an epilogue would have been helpful. Still , a touching story about adoption, second chances and forgiveness.

3.5 Stars!

Danny and Faith's love story was one of childhood loves ripped apart by a tragic ending. While Danny stayed in town, Faith left for college and never came back. Danny is the hometown sweetheart and when Faith comes home to run her father's vet practice, she is the hometown villan. No one truly knows what caused the demise of Danny and Faith, but they just blame Faith. My heart broke for her well before I knew the reason and then it didall over again.

Danny and Faith are thrust together as she is the vet needing to take care of remedy a mysterious illness with the local calves. While 17 years has passed since Danny and Faith were a couple, it's obvious their chemistry is as strong now as it was then. Heartbreak for both of these two is first and foremost on their minds, but when they hash out the past they soon discover their parents (his father) played a huge role in tearing them apart when they had a chance to make it.

While this was a great love story, I felt that portion was muddled in with so much detail on the illness surrounding the calves that the story lost interest. The scours was pivitol to the story, but it took over in detail when I wish the relationships with Faith's parents, Danny's dad, and Marcus was explored more.
