Becky has returned for the third and final installment of the Rebecca Steele Saga. Her journey is not one without obstacles.
Becky is a very strong character who you just can’t help take notice of. She is a woman that if she was real you would want her to have by your side through anything.
I found this book very hard to put down. Joanne Patterson has saved the best for last and this book does not disappoint.

I spent my teens and twenties living in the Nashville area, so being able to revisit some of my old haunts was a treat! I loved this book from the very beginning, yet it surprised me. There are amazing characters as well as facts and tidbits about country music. The author throws in some family dynamics that show readers how to honor the family they were born into, as well as choose the family they make. A page turner to the very end!

This is the 3rd book in the series and I really loved it.
In this book Rebecca is happily married , her career is at an all time high and she leads a good life with her husband and step daughter.
However, nothing remains perfect. People from the past turn up and it makes the relationship between Rebecca and her husband difficult.
Her step daughter is stepping into her shoes with a penchant for singing and blooms into a confident little girl. Rebecca has to really fight with all her strength to hold on to the things and people who are dear to her life. It is a bitter sweet ending, but I did enjoy every bit of this fast paced love story.

Rebecca Steele Finding the Dream is the second book in the Rebecca Steele series by Joanne Patterson. Finding the Dream is a very sweet romance with some touching moments. Rebecca finds herself in new circumstances and things around her are changing rapidly, except her best friend. She seems to be doing well in her career, but then life turns upside down . Major decisions have to be made, and well, the path isn’t straight. The characters are intense and well rounded. The plot is interesting. I overall enjoyed this sweet romance.

I really enjoyed this and thought the story was excellent! This is the third book in a series and I’m hoping to eventually get to the first two at some point. I’m really into westerns right now and I loved the western setting. It was a cute love story with some twists and unexpected obstacles thrown at her, but she handled it well! I highly recommend for anyone looking for romance and who’s into westerns!

And we’re back to wrap up Becky’s story. I have mixed feelings about Rebecca Steele Living the Dream. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing.
We still have the past of Johnny Munroe still lingering around as Chance & Becky begin their lives as man and wife. There’s also Chance’s past with his daughter’s mom Carrie. Baggage on both sides. Which leads to some ups and downs on both sides. Once tragedy strikes it’s all about how they rise up and go on with life.
I don’t want to give much away so I’ll say this: If you stumbled across this book as I have, you should start back at book 1. Get the entire backstory, not that it couldn’t be a standalone novel, however some things will make more sense. Enjoy!

Such a sweet story! Rebecca Steele Finding the Dream was very good. With ups, downs, highs and lows it’s everything you could ask for in a book.
Becky Steele, on the cusp of starting her country music career while in her 40s, picks the one song that reminds her of past love with Johnny Munroe to launch it. Besides all that she also competes in barrel racing at the rodeo where she meets Chance(Adam Mason). After a scary accident she loses most of her memory of her 20s & 30s, but is assured it’ll come back in time.
Romance is in the air between Chance & Becky with Johnny looming in the shadows.
With sadness, love, happiness, and drama this story does not disappoint as Becky navigates a new road in life while leaving an old road behind. Well minus her best friend Emily, who will always be along for the ride.
I look forward to reading book 3, more than I was to reading this book because of the time jumps in book 1. Don’t let that deter you because I’m glad I did. It was worth it!

I was excited to read this third and final book in the ‘Rebecca Steele’ series and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was great being back with the wonderful Becky and to be fully immersed in her world again. I would recommend reading the previous books in the series, not just because they are a fab read, but because this continues her story. As usual I felt engaged with Becky who is such a likeable and relatable strong main character, and it was nice that her daughter Cassie took a more prominent part in the storyline. Although Becky is enjoying her life on the country music stage, when she faces some adverse conditions, once again she needs her strength, resolve, attitude and faith to see her through. As well as her old friends turning up in the story the author also keeps things interesting with some new faces. The exciting storyline and plot twists kept me hooked from start to finish and I just couldn’t stop reading. I’m disappointed that this is the last book in the series and I will miss Rebecca Steele, but this was definitely a good send off for her.

This is book three of this series by this author. This one was just as good as the previous two books in my opinion. This author is such a great writer. I love her visualization process and how it has progressed throughout each book. These characters are fantastic. I feel like they are my own friends and family just living in a different state. That’s how real this series has been to me. As with the previous two books I couldn’t put this one down and was gripping the edge of my seat throughout several chapters. While I was hoping the author would continue with this series I think she did a wonderful job closing the chapter and ending it. However, I do hope that maybe she will change her mind and perhaps do a spin-off at some point in the future. I highly recommend this for anyone that loves “western” themed stories. If you like the show “Yellowstone” you will like this series.

This is the third and final book in the series and I was looking forward to seeing how Becky and Chances life panned out as I had really enjoyed the previous book.
For the first half of the book I was really enjoying being back in Becky and Chance’s world. Then came the twists and I was like “WHAT?” No Way!! I won’t mention what the twists were as I won’t give spoilers but I have to say that I really didn’t enjoy the book after that. It totally spoilt it for me.
I have read a lot of other reviews and almost everyone is raving about how good the book is, so I guess I’m out on my own but I really didn’t like the direction that the book took from this point.
I will say that the book is very well written and the author does a great job of writing great characters, so it’s not all bad and I did love the first half of the book.

This is the third and last book in the Rebecca Steele series by Joanne Patterson. I highly recommend reading the books in order. This is a sweet romance that has some drama, challenges, and emotions throughout this book. Like before this book drew me in from the first page until the last word. I love Becky’s story because she has been loving life. She has had some minor bumps in the road but nothing that strength, faith, and a bit of attitude cannot fix. This book has taken me for an emotional ride that I was willing to take to see what happens to Becky. I highly recommend this book but do not forget to read the first two books first.

Rebecca Steele Living the Dream is the third and final book in the Rebecca Steele series and once you start reading you won’t want to stop till you’ve finished. This is a Western Romance that is packed with, love, drama and a few family challenges along the way. This book continues on from the previous books so I highly recommend reading this series in order as it will give you a better understanding of what is going on and help with characters and back story. Plus its an amazing series that is definitely worth the time. Get ready to be taken on quite the ride as Becky is back and will soon find out what fate has in store for her . This is a fast paced story that will have you turning the pages to see what happens next. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

This is the second book of the Rebecca Steele Series. Although it can be read as a standalone I recommend reading book one first. This is my first book from this author. I enjoyed the story but wish I would have read book one first, so I would have the whole back story. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen for Becky in book 3.

Omg yay!
This was so beautiful.
I haven’t finished crying yet.
This author has a way of inspiring people through her live stories.
The way that Becky and Johnny have gone on this journey of love and adventure the ups and downs I feel like the ultimate third wheel.
I love that this story didn’t feel like the third of a series and that I was reading a new story.
The trials of success and motherhood really hit home.
I would read this book again and again.
Loved this book and the book before.
This author made me feel at home following this adventure.
Wish there was more.

Wow!
It is a very easy light romance that had a few quick twists that fit the story well.
This was the first book I read from this author and I will be looking out for more.
The author made this story very inspiring and realistic.
Becky and Johnny are the journey of this story.
I was surprised that I liked this book because the setting was different from what I usually enjoy.
This is the type of book you read to feel good, refreshing is the best word to describe it.
I am looking forward to book three.
This story made me cry in a few spots it had me day dreaming in between truly living through the pages.
Love and country music officially go together.
So romantic.

This is the third and final book in the Rebecca Steele series. I read the second book, though not the first (it is being put on my TBR, knowing how it ends, I really desire to see how it started)
Rebecca married the love of her life and has a stepdaughter. The compassion Rebecca shows not only to her stepdaughter, but also to her stepdaughter’s friend, really made me connect with “Becky”. She is still performing her music and starting tours while also working hard to make her concert in the park series a huge success. This woman has spunk and is a go getter, what I LOVE to see in a female lead character.

This is the second book in the Rebecca Steele Series, but only the first one I have read. I fell in love with so many of the characters. “Becky” and Emily have been friends since they were children, and it shows in the way they interact with each other. Becky is moving forward with her music career while living on a horse ranch. Is it her dream life? Can she find love or with outside forces tear her apart from the man she has come to love?
This book was filled with relationship turmoil and triumphs. This was an enjoyable easy read and really felt like I was transformed to their world. Thank you to the author!!

Living the Dream is a cute western for country and romance lovers. Becky has come through a lot of turmoil and upheaval in the preceding books, and now finally has her man, her career, and a spunky little stepdaughter to keep her happy. Obviously that isn’t the end of the action, though! There is a lot of suspense in the plot to keep readers interested, plus old and new characters that fans of the series will like.
I was a bit put off by the style of writing; it felt like someone recounting a story that had already taken place, rather than something that was currently happening. That remove from the action caused it to feel slow in parts for me. However it is in a similar vein to the other books, so if you liked the others, you will likely enjoy this one as well.

This book picks up with Becky and Chance enjoying married life. They are spending time with Cassie and Becky is back to opening up for some of country music’s hottest artists. However, the bliss doesn’t last for long when Becky starts having weird dreams and Carrie comes back to stir things up with Chance. When Chance takes Cassie to spend time with Carrie in New York, a chain of events is set off that will change the course of all of their lives.

However, when the unthinkable happens, Becky is not sure how she will move forward. She finds herself connecting with someone new for reasons that feel beyond her own understanding. Can she move on with her life? Is Cassie going to be okay with all of this? And why does a stranger feel like someone she has known forever?

I found this book to be fast-paced and full of little twists and turns. There are also some emotional ups and downs that I did not see coming and kept me immersed in the story. I enjoyed reading it…and finished it in a single sitting. I also enjoyed all the secondary characters. The book wrapped up by giving us a glimpse into the futures of all of the supporting characters which was fun.

A dreamy four-star read. This is number three in the Rebecca Steele series and its also the last story in the series and that is normally a bad thing, but this is done well so it’s a great end. I really enjoyed this story for the most part, but there were a couple of bits that didn’t sit right with me, the characters were amazing as always and the story great, just a little more putting together and this would be five stars.

This was a great 5 star read and the final book in this great series. If you like western romance you will really enjoy the series. Once you get started you won’t want to put it down.

Things are going great for Rebecca. She is in her happy place of singing and rodeo. She’s married with a family. But of course life has difficult moments and they definitely come Rebecca’s way. My emotions were all over the place at times.

Overall I really enjoyed this story. The characters were great and the author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. It can be read as a stand alone but I would suggest reading the first two books in the series before this one so that you can enjoy the story more. 1-click and get started today.

We are back for the last time as this series comes to an end in the final installment of the Rebecca Steele series. Living the Dream takes us on a wild ride as Becky juggles being a wife and mother, her concerts and the rodeo. We watch as she grows as a person and you will no doubt get emotional as she deals with trials and struggles with our favorite characters there to back her up. It’s a great story and I highly recommend reading this series.

Finding the Dream is another great book by Joanne Patterson. In this second book of the Rebecca Steele series we once again get to fall in love with Becky. It has romance, drama, humor and to top it off we get to enjoy some horses too. Chance is sweet, strong and sexy and I loved reading
as Becky and him grow closer. This book is fast paced and good for readers who want something on the shorter side and easy to read. The characters are all easy to fall in love with and they will have you hooked on this series by the end of the book, leaving you anxious to grab the next in the series.

This is the third book in the Rebecca Steele series and is 261 pages in length. This story is filled with drama and twists as Rebecca’s story comes to an end. Just when she thinks her life is on a straight path to her dreams, things happen. Her love for playing country music keeps her going and pushes her through. As with all series ending books, this one was hard to put down. This book has a little bit of everything – it was bittersweet.

This is the 3rd book in the series and I really enjoyed it. The book is fast paced and I would advise reading the other books before this as this one does hit the ground running and it maybe confusing if you don’t know the story from the other 2 books.

In this book Rebecca is back. Her career is going from strength to strength, she is married to her love and together they are raising her step daughter. Things couldn’t be more perfect.
However things aren’t as they seem and with people from both Rebecca’s and Chance’s pasts turning up to make life difficult can their relationship survive?
Add to this the pressure that arrives in the form of their step- daughter Cassie following in Rebecca’s footsteps and having a talented for singing. We have seen Cassie grow up through these books and I’m so happy to see her become the confident little girl she should be.
If you love romance stories with cowboys, horses, country singing and a fast paced story then this is definately a series for you.

This story has many avenues to experience. It is also a Western Romance with Suspense to keep you reading. Becky is back! She has become quite the Country singer. But once again she continues to show her strength and as well as her faith, to bring her positive outlook in life. Becky highlights Little Cassie in this book. She too is a strong little lady and you can’t help falling in love with her as well. This book is a page turner forsure. You get the need to continue reading it from start to finish. I was drawn in on book one as well as book two, book three did not disappoint. I love this author’s style of writing! She never drags on and always thinks of every detail. Her story has many roller coasters you will board. It is not required, but I recommend you read this series in order. Get to know the characters and their part in this the final book of this series. I look forward to seeing what this author writes next. NO SPOILERS FOR YOU HERE!

Having read the second book in this series I was really looking forward to this new instalment and I wasn’t disappointed! I really like the authors writing, it’s easy to read and she writes in a very engaging way. I really like Becky as a character, she has such an admirable strength about her. I have really enjoyed reading about her! In this story we see Becky faced with many challenges, the author definitely wasn’t going to let her final book be an easy one!
This was definitely a fitting story for the final book in this series and I absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend this book and the series! I look forward to reading more from this author again in the future.
