Publisher's summary

You can’t win until you learn when to fall back....

Amanda Brooks can’t seem to find a job that suits her. She’s really hoping her new plan is a good one, because she needs something to keep her busy while her boyfriend’s gone.

Abigail Brooks is opening a new legal practice in the middle of nowhere, but she’s positive she can make it work. With more flexible hours, she’s finally prepared to settle herself and her family into their new life out West.

Donna Ellingson’s brother may be a grade-A jerk, but she’s grown a lot in the past year. She’s not afraid of a fight anymore, as long as she’s on the right side.

But when a rival developer breaks ground on a retreat in nearby Flaming Gorge, he steals all of Amanda’s best contractors. Abby’s nearly as frustrated when her big sister drops in, eager to “help” as usual. And Donna discovers that sometimes no love life is better than too much....

Can these three friends-turned-family learn when to go all-in and when to let go before their various battles meet with unhappy endings?

Peaks and valleys and bring your Kleenex!

The family dynamics, ranch life bits and the couples relationships bring dimension to the story. Sure it’s a romance but I have seldom read a series of books that brought out a genuine laugh every now and again. The Retreat introduces a couple of intriguing plot twists and leaves you with an emotional cliff hanger. Please don’t make us wait too long for the next book!

GREAT CONTINUING STORY IN “THE BIRCH CREEK RANCH” SERIES

B.E. Baker continues this wonderful storyline of two young families being raised by their mothers and brought together by death and ancestry. This book takes us further into where their new lives are taking them with the struggles, mishaps, joy and excitement that come along the way. B.E. Baker is an awesome writer and I hate it when a book ends. The Narrator’s in these books have been exceptional and make the ease of listening a joy!! Thank you to B. E. Baker!!!
