Summary

Chet and Kimberly have both failed when it comes to love. Will they risk their hearts to love again?

Chet Leonard’s life was forever changed when his 17-year-old son died and then, soon after, his wife walked out on their family. Over two years later, all he wants to do is hold onto his horse ranch and raise his remaining sons to be honorable men.

Kimberly Welch, widowed mother of Tara, a rebellious 15-year-old, has reached the end of her finances and nearly the end of her rope. She and Tara come to King’s Meadow to try to piece their lives back together again. Kimberly has no intention of becoming involved with the residents of this remote mountain community and certainly not with any man.

When octogenarian Anna McKenna returns to King’s Meadow and to the Leonard ranch, she becomes an agent of change and healing for the two hurting families. With her help, Kimberly and Chet may discover that true love has no end.

    

My Review

Oh my goodness! What a sweet book!! Love Without End was about two different story-lines that merge together in the end: Anna's or "Nana Anna's" from the mid-1940's on, and Chet and Kimberly's in present day. It was a sweet, slower-paced story about friendship, loss, and choosing to embrace life and all that it might offer, maybe even a second chance at love.

I really liked the family dynamics of Chet's Grandfather's family who Nana first met and lived with for decades, to Chet's and Kimberly's families and their friends. Chet and Kimberly were both single parents trying to deal with teenage children. I enjoyed seeing the two of them get to know each other as well as their kids and Anna. It was also sweet to read snippets from Anna's life.

I also liked that the inspirational element of the story was weaved in nicely. It never felt preachy. Religion just felt like a part of these character's lives and naturally so. The romance wasn't pushed either. It started with friendship first, with obvious attraction but plenty of respect, and then those feelings developed into something more.

If you enjoy inspirational romance and have enjoyed Robin Lee Hatcher's other books, then I'd definitely recommend Love Without End. I'm curious to see what the next book will be about and if we'll be seeing some of these characters again. I'd like to see a happy ending for any of these kids or for Kimberly's friend, Janet.
