Great!

Good characters (dog included), and a good plot.

Loved this well written book! All the characters and the twist and turns kept me captivated throughout their journey. Recommend this great read!

An excellent story, I read till 2 Pm! Hard to put down. A very good author. Tu dc

This was an amazing book. I’ve been hooked by her romantasy pen name, and decided to check this series out next. Now, I have pretty much stopped reading the women’s fiction genre because I much prefer romance. However, this book drew me in in a way that I was not expecting. And it was right from the start. The description of it as two windows with six kids on a ranch did not pull me in, but the actuality of reading it was Amazing. I never wanted to put it down. I stayed up way later than I should’ve most days this week reading it. This book gives us the perspectives of the two widows. There is ranch life, lawyer work, an Instagram influencer, kids, cowboys, a doctor, and so very much more. I am so thrilled to continue the series. It’s better than any women’s fiction I have read to date and I love it just as much as the straight romances I’ve been reading. It does help that there is a slight romantic subplot. But it is so much more than that. This is the start to a series and does not “resolve” our widows’ worlds.

It’s a great story with strong characters! My only critique is that at times it was confusing to which of the characters was speaking the dialogue! Not so much with the kids, but between the adults.

Something for everyone in this book - dog lovers, horse lovers, cowboy lovers, doctors, vets, kids misbehaving and maturing, tragedy, new love and happily ever after. Characters were well developed - story line was great. Gotta love happily ever after! On to the next book…

Sad, funny, and wonderful lesson in living a real life.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book,it’s definitely a page turner and a MUST read!! I hated to put it down to do other things & couldn’t wait to get back to it. Very good book

What do a hot shot lawyer and an Influencer have in common? Nothing – really? Because B.E. Baker found something. A will from a crazy uncle that says if you want to inherit my cattle ranch you need to uproot your life and move to live and operate it for 1 year. The Bequest is a women’s fiction story from the new series The Birch Creek Ranch by B. E Baker who also writes romance and fantasy. But different or not, then what one is used to if following her stories, she did not disappoint. Amanda and Abigail, two widows who are sisters-in-law, get to know each other. They could not be more opposite in character and Baker makes that clear. Her character development is fantastic. The women have flaws and strength and the ability to look at each other and see each other in a light that is real. This quality of their character makes them relatable. And that is not where Baker stops. Now, they have 6 children between them and now need to run a cattle ranch with over 1,000 cattle. If you are a cowgirl or not the livelihood with which Baker describes her story makes you sit on that saddle and take every painful lesson. Baker’s writing style is fun, uplifting, humorous, exciting, but also suspenseful. This is what makes any book by B. E. Baker a page turning must read. And thankfully she is a fast writer so turnaround time between books is not that long because I know I will be getting ready to preorder Book 2 in the series ‘The Vow’.
