Granting Katelyn (Sweet Valley Series) by S.E. Reichert – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes
Granting Katelyn by S.E. Reichert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Granting Katelyn is Book Two in The Sweet Valley Series. It is a beautifully written, heart wrenching, western romance set in a small town that centers around the characters of Katelyn and Grant. The story is told from the POV of both MC’s so the reader gains insight into Katelyn and Grant’s history and thought process. The storyline is engaging, and the characters are ones that will instantly tug at your heartstrings when you read about their back stories. Katelyn is an all-state barrel racing champion and equine therapist with a no-nonsense, take-charge attitude. She does not back down from a challenge and comes across to some as aggressive. For those that know Katelyn they know that she does not put up with nonsense from anyone. When she is approached to help Grant with his horse that suffered injuries in an accident she did not realize that she would be helping Grant as well. Both Grant and his horse sustained injuries in the same accident, and it has left them broken. Grant comes across as overbearing, grumpy, and rude which makes Katelyn’s work a bit more challenging. Sadly, Grant has endured horrendous emotional abuse at the hands of his manipulative father which has left him scarred and broken. As Katelyn and Grant get to know one another they help one another heal. The chemistry between them grows and they find healing through love. This was an emotional rollercoaster ride as Katelyn and Grant overcame numerous challenges and learned to trust in order to heal. I cannot wait for the next book in this series!
