VBT# Shadow Wolf of the Rocky Mountains - Book #4  Willow Ranch Series - Natascha Birovljev - March 2023 This series has been just as beautiful and stunning as the picturesque covers as we have followed the adventures of two siblings - a brother and sister duo - Lee and Lyla through their reunion with their father after 14 years to discovering dark family secrets, finding love and romance and then trying to save their family ranch by any means necessary.  Each of the siblings has undertaken journeys that have pushed them to discover their true selves and what better place to do it than the Rocky Mountains of Canada? This series has also had a strong theme of Native American folklore with the introduction of the character Lonefeather. In this book, we meet new characters and hear their stories and tales as we are introduced more to Rosie, Cody, and Woodwind.  Of course, at the heart of this tale like the previous three books is Willow Ranch - a place where lives change ...

VBT# Shadow Crow of the Rocky Mountains - Book #2 Willow Ranch Series - Natascha Birovljev - March 2023 One of my favourite things about this series is that the cover art is so beautiful and gives off a feeling of stillness and a little ominous at the same time, though I think it is more leaned towards the stance of peacefulness that you get when you think of living in the mountains or the case of our characters in the Willow Ranch series - the Rocky Mountains of Canada.  Book #2 picks up where Book #1 Shadow Horses of the Rocky Mountains finished with Lyla and Chuck's relationship. Book #2 focuses more on their relationship dynamics as they both still are finding their feet in their new lives with Lyla at Willow Ranch and Chuck being torn between the city and his job as a fur trapper. Shadow Crow of the Rocky Mountains also goes more in-depth into the world of Native Americans with the introduction of Lonefeather Jones who sparks a magical excitement in Lyla that will see her lo...

VBT# Review - Shadow Grizzly of the Rocky Mountains - Book 3 Willow Ranch Series - Natascha Birovljev - March 2023 First off, just like the previous two books - this cover is beautiful and as you would have seen with the previous and this one - each book has a cover with an animal and a title of an animal in the series. Book 3 introduces us to the brother of the sibling pair Lee. I have to say took me a while to get used to that name being for a guy as I knew a Lee that was a guy in primary school, but my mum's name was also spelled Lee and when reading this book as she loved the country life, made me remember her as she passed away nearly ten years ago. In Shadow Grizzly of the Rocky Mountains, Lee finally has achieved his dream of leading horse rides through the beautiful picturesque Canadian Rockies and he's hoping that this will work as if it doesn't, he and Lyla may lose Willow Ranch for good once and for all. As Lee moves on trying to get his business idea up and ru...
