About the Book

They fell in love before their families hated each other. Will their love be enough to mend fences?

Thea Howard skipped town five years ago after a tragic accident. She left behind the man she loved along with the grief and anger that consumed their lives.

Brett Patton never expected to see Thea again. When he finds her injured on a snowy night, he sees his second chance with the one who got away.

Despite the years, distance, and obstacles between them, Brett helps her hide at the ranch where he works, but his attempts to convince her that things could work out between them this time come to a screeching halt when she disappears.

Brett won’t stop until he finds the woman he never stopped loving. Can he find her in time to get their second chance? Or will their feuding families once again rip them apart? The Other Side is a gripping second chance romance and the fifth book in the Wolf Creek Ranch series.

My Review

Mandi Blake grabs the reader’s attention from the opening scene and doesn’t let up. From the first sentences, the reader can feel the tension between Thea risking her own life and her great desire to see her mom again.

Brett recognizes Thea, his missing love, when a mysterious truck drops her on the church steps after a wedding. The author instantly connects the reader to Brett’s conflicting emotions: excitement to see Thea again, fear over her injuries, and rejection over her skipping town without him.

I love the way Mandi Blake takes us on the journey toward reconciliation and healing in this families-are-enemies drama. Thea and Blake confront misperceptions about their relationship and when they split five years ago. They also must learn to trust each other while they fear for Thea’s life. The story kept me turning pages late into the night to see how it would unfold.

Even though this is book 5 in the series, it stands on its own. But I recommend the entire series because it’s soooooooooooo good.

Fans of cowboy romance from a Christian worldview will enjoy this sweet but suspenseful romance.
