Second Chance at Sunflower Ranch: Includes a Bonus Novella (The Ryan Family Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Carolyn Brown (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (2,951)

From the bestselling author of Queen of Cowboy: regrets and old heartbreaks are unearthed in this sweeping love story as hometown sweethearts get a second chance at love—and being a family.

Retired combat medic Jesse Ryan hasn’t been home much since he enlisted twenty years ago. Now he’s headed back to Texas to help take care of his aging foster parents and run Sunflower ranch. But when he gets there, he finds his parents’ live-in nurse is Addison Hall, his high school best friend and the woman he always regretted leaving behind after their one steamy night together before he shipped out. He’s not at all surprised that their chemistry is still sparking, but Jesse is shocked to learn Addy gave birth to a little girl about nine months after he left—his little girl.

​Addy has her hands full as a single mom of a nineteen-year-old daughter who suddenly wants to rebel at everything. The last thing she needs is Jesse Ryan complicating her life even further, especially since she’s always had a crush on the handsome cowboy. But the more time she spends with Jesse, the more she wonders what might happen if they finally let their friendship blossom into something more and became the family she’d always hoped for.

    This was her book I've read and it is #1 in my eyes! More detail is in this story as you learn more about each characters. Three brothers grown up now and one by one have come home to lives they left. Jesse has left the military to take over the ranch from his elderly ailing father and finds he left more than the ranch when he went into service. He moves back into the life he had with his friend and her now young adult daughter who had moved into his parents lives to help care for them after all the sons had moved on in their lives. Soon pieces begin falling in place between Jesse and Addy as they rebuilt their friendship to something deeper. Great book. I loved this book and can't wait for the next book in this series comes out next year!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Glorifying the Military References
    Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The premise of the book was great. But what the heck is it with female authors needing to include in their writing the male protagonist with a military history. There are a number of glaring errors in it with regard to Jesse's 20 years in the Air Force. Yes, he's a medic, but in the Air Force, he's actually a Pararescue Specialist - better known as a PJ. And the training these men receive is extensive, facing some of the most difficult and arduous while in the pipeline as their other "brothers" in SpecOps. Parachuting, scuba diving, rock climbing and arctic operations and handling weapons in order to pull security during brownouts. They also have to spend a 6-month rotation in the ER, especially those in hospitals such as Cook County General, Chicago, that handle a heavy number trauma due to GSWs and TBIs. This is largely what PJs will face out in the front as they rescue injured military personnel.

    Jesse talks about his "team" of PJ brothers, invited to join them at a security job. PJs don't necessarily have a "team" they work together such as the Seals do. Or a platoon of Rangers or Marines. These PJs are most often deployed individually or in pairs with other SpecOps from the other branches when on missions. They are trained to fight right alongside Seals and Delta Force as a unit. They do work together in a trauma facility at an FOB, along with doctors, nurses and technicians/specialists there to triage injured personnel. It is not a long-term facility for the wounded to remain. It's assessment, treat and then flown to the nearest actual hospital in Germany (Landstuhl) or those in-country such as Kabul).

    What's with "go to the Air Force" or "Went to the Air Force"? One doesn't go the Air Force. We either JOIN the Air Force or GO INTO it. The other glaring error I noticed is Jesse having spent 20 years in the military. As a PJ, I find that difficult to believe for several reasons. As a PJ, the adrenaline is through the stratosphere. Many receive career-ending injuries, discharged for medical reasons. Others experience burnout due to the intensity of the job and seeing many men and women with serious injuries. And, worse yet, losing many personnel who succumb to their injuries, too. Depending on the severity of the airman's burnout, they are able to cross-train into another career field. Or just leave the military to work a civilian job at a hospital. They also become EMTs/Paramedics.

    Lastly, Jesse couldn't have spent his entire 20 years living in the barracks (dorms). NCOs (E-5 and above) are eligible to live off base. They receive a housing and cost-of-living allowance to rent or buy a home or apartment. Dorms/barracks are meant for occupation by newly enlisted airmen and up to E-4. If deployed, NCOs have separate quarters from those E-4 and below. And officers have their own sleeping quarters from the enlisted personnel.

    To reiterate, I get extremely annoyed at female authors who put rather very obscure, yet incorrect references to do with the military. I find it tremendously aggravating, leaving it implausible. So why do it? For Jesse to have spent 20 years as a PJ but leaving out the "side effects" as a result of his job, as if everything was La-di-da....just not realistic.

    I do recommend the book. It was thoroughly entertaining, albeit the errors about a PJs job in the Air Force.

    This was a heartwarming second chance romance. Jesse Ryan and Addison Hall were each others best friend throughout high school. The night before Jesse left for the Air Force they took things to the next level. He never knew she was pregnant. It is now twenty years later and Jesse has come home to help his aging parents with their ranch. Imagine his surprise to find Addy and her daughter living with his parents. There is much going on and you will have to read the book to follow Jesse and Addy on their journey to a happy ever after. I loved every minute of their story and didn't want it to end.

    Without giving the story away, I just could not believe that Jesse was not rip roaring mad when he found out about the secret that had been kept from him for nearly 20 years. His reaction just didn't seem normal to me. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this book and will keep reading anything this author puts out.

    Jesse and Addy's background was so special and as best friends that endured time and distance. Coming home after 20 years in the Air Force and finding out that Mia, Addy's 19 yr. Old daughter was his blew his mind. Addy had withheld this info from everyone. Taking care of his father who had MS and helping on the Sunflower Ranch had been her and Mia's life. Jesse back home and boy did the sparks and love fly!!!! Your storytelling captivates me and amazes me how weave such wonderful stories and life lessons. Again Thank you for your gift!!!!!
