Customer Reviews

A great read

I couldn't put it down! Elaine Grant did a wonderful job developing these extraordinary characters and I can't wait to read her next novel. I'd highly recommend it!

An Ideal Father

Elaine Grant has again produced a 5 star heartwarming drama of love of family with her finely drawn characters. In An Ideal Father, we feel Cimarron's frustrations with his troubled past and the fate that awaits him as he struggles to make decisions that may or may not bring happiness. Following Cimarron, Sarah and Wyatt's journey, the reader experiences that very special tug on the heart strings. Eleanor Cocreham--WingePress Best Sellers --Choice Makers, Risk Takers

Another Winner!

Cimarron Cole loves to restore old homes. Then, following an accident, this single cowboy finds himself with a pint-sized addition who threatens his freedom and his livelihood. Sara James wants nothing more than to secure the title to her old family home and have Cimarron refurbish it. That just might work, except the only thing they can agree on is not to agree. Sparks fly, but when the sawdust settles, they restore more than a dwelling. Ms. Grant has done it again. From the first word to the last page, she has created characters you won't soon forget, characters you hope will appear again in subsequent books. I highly recommend this and any book by Ms. Grant.

Greatly enjoyed An Ideal Father

I thouroughly enjoyed reading An Ideal Father. As always, Elaine Grant had written characters who become very real to the reader and I was completely taken in by them. This book made me laugh, cry, and just sit back and think about the joys and trials of love. I loved the Montana setting and can almost smell the fresh air and see the beautiful mountains as I read. Just as this story continued with the characters from her last book, I hope her next one will do the same. I can't wait to read more about these engaging people.

And what a father!!

I loved reading An Ideal Father. What a wonderful read!! From the beginning Wyatt captured my heart. Cimmeron and Wyatt's loss tore at my core...and I was rooting for them right away. Also, I remember Sarah from Make-Believe Mom and was glad to read her story. It came alive on the pages making me laugh, cry, and smile...all the things a book should make me do. Elaine Grant is a powerful writer. Since her first novel, Roses for Chloe, I've been a dedicated fan. She never lets me down. Pick one up today. You won't be sorry.
