She'd always lived a charmed life, so when Bethany Taft's fianc was killed, she thought her chance for happiness was gone forever. But after her beloved aunt got engaged--at sixty --Bethany found joy in her role as wedding planner. Spending time with Cody Dillard, the groom's son, was a given--the rancher flew Bethany to Chicago and back in his private plane. And between Cody's charming nature and her aunt's matchmaking attempts, Bethany found herself wondering if the God she'd turned her back on meant for her to be a bride, as well.
Matchmaker, Matchmaker is my favorite Love Inspired book, so this follow-up story had big expectations to live up to. It started out a bit rough for me because of the rather hositle way the protagonists interacted with each other when they first met. I'm pleased that as the story progressed, they redeemed themselves by reacting towards each other in a more Christian manner. The star of the first book is its setting of a faith-based community. The setting of Lasso Her Heart is also the highlight, a beautifully described ranch in Arizona. The older couple were wonderful secondary characters, and the contrast between how Cody and Bethany each handled the losses in their respective lives provided the "lesson". Anna Schmidt has a style of writing that greatly appeals to me, and I enjoyed this book a lot.
Wow

I dont pick up a book like this very often. I was excited my the end of the first sentence. I fell in love with Cody Bethany Ian and Erika. The two stories are amazing. I enjoyed reading about the pain that Bethany felt, because it was real. This is an amazing story that will keep you reading from the second you pick it up to the last page.
