Finding Stephanie by Susan May Warren

When you need a good, quick read that keeps you turning pages and feeds your soul along the way, Susan May Warren is the one to turn to.

I've enjoyed Susie's Noble Legacy series and so I was thrilled to read Finding Stephanie and review it here.

Finding Stephanie is first and foremost a love story. But in typical Susie fashion, it is packed with action, spiritual truth, and a touch of intrigue (which kept me guessing until the end and left me thinking, "I should have seen that coming!")

Here's a summary of the book:

When Stephanie Noble put her dreams on hold to help run the family ranch, she never imagined they would slip out of sight. Luckily for Stefanie, those dreams are about to come knocking at her door.

Lincoln Cash has gained fame and fortune on the big screen, but a crippling secret leaves him one last chance to make his mark on the movie industry. With dreams of hosting a new film festival, Lincoln intends to remodel a sprawling ranch in eastern Montana to make it the new Hollywood hot spot.

Unfortunately, a house fire threatens his plans. So does opposition from his new neighbor Stefanie Noble, who's not thrilled about his Tinseltown changes. What Lincoln and Stefanie don't know is that the fire won't be the last disaster to threaten Lincoln or his future. Someone is out for revenge... but who?

And who is the real target?
