Finding Stefanie

I think that Stefanie's book was my favorite out of the whole series. I'm not sure if it's because she was the only girl and I felt that I could relate to her the most. She is very strong willed and is completely capable of taking care of herself. I think she's actually the most "noble" of all the Noble siblings. There's nothing in her past for her to be ashamed of. I liked Gideon's story as well involving his relationship with Libby. I didn't like her dad too well because for a pastor he was rather quick to judge. You'd think he'd be willing to look for the good in someone first before trying to kick them out of town. I felt in the beginning that Gideon was being too proud by refusing help but in the end he gave in because of his sisters.The mystery was very well played throughout the book. I missed the small clues about who it was so I was surprised at the end to see who the perpetrator had been. I liked Lincoln as well. He was a multi-dimensional character with a lot of secrets that he had been hiding for years. He and Stefanie had good chemistry throughout the whole book. The only thing that is still baffling me is to why Stefanie and Rafe never acknowledge Cole as their brother even though from the first book we find out that he actually is. My only guess is that they still have not found this out.Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. While I am sad to see the series end, I felt like this book tied up many loose ends and had a satisfying ending. I shall miss the adventures of the Noble kids and the life of ranching.

FINDING STEFANIE, the third book in the Noble Family Legacy series was a great read. We've gotten to know Stefanie briefly from RECLAIMING NICK and TAMING RAFE but we really got a closer look at her and the struggles she has faced in life in FINDING STEFANIE. When Lincoln Cash, Hollywood heartthrob decides to put down roots in Phillips, Montana, Stefanie wonders if they might be able to pick up where they left off when Lincoln was in town shooting Unshackled the previous year. But, when a drifting teenager - with his two sisters in tow- accidently burns down the ranch Lincoln purchased, Stefanie realizes the Lincoln Cash she previously met is not the same man who's moved in next to her family ranch. We follow Stefanie as she takes in three runaway kids, convinces herself Lincoln is not the man for her, and questions her life and where it is going. Several story lines converge making FINDING STEFANIE a fast-paced read. The plight of Gideon and his sisters, Lincoln's attempt at hiding his condition from the world, and Stefanie feeling dissatisfied with the way her life has turned out has you turning page after page to see how each of these people find resolution. Throw in an overprotective preacher sheltering his teenage daughter and a stalker bent on getting revenge and you have the perfect makings of a romance/suspense novel that you will not want to put down. FINDING STEFANIE was my favorite out of the three books in the series. And though I am an avid PBR (Professional Bull Riders) fan and thought I would swallow up TAMING RAFE, FNDING STEFANIE hit a cord with me. There is a little cheesiness here and there as Stefanie refers to Lincoln as a superhero and a few places that I was screaming at Stefanie to stop being so self-depreciating, but other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is one of the best books Susan May Warren has written. I loved the characters and the plot. I didn't want it to end. Susan's ability to draw me in to the on-again-off-again relationship between Stefanie and Linc was so compelling. She is such a gifted writer and I hope this series has more installments in the future.

Susan May Warren has another hit novel on her hands with "Finding Stefanie," the third installment in the Noble family saga. It is the wonderful tale of Stefanie Noble, twin of superstar bull riding champion, Rafe Noble and younger sister of Silver Buckle co-owner, Nick Noble. Living in her brothers' shadows never used to bother Stefanie, but lately she's unsure of where she belongs. Enter Lincoln Cash, movie star and Stefanie's new neighbor. Will these two develop a relationship out of the crushes they have on each other? Or will they clash over Hollywood coming to Montana? It's easy to fall in love with one of Susan's books...especially when you already adore the characters from previous novels in the series! It was wonderful to concentrate on Stefanie's character and get to know her a bit better. Susan also crafts the sub-plot stories that weave throughout the book with great care and detail, making these characters as valuable to the novel as the leading men and ladies. This is a wonderful novel that emphasizes second chances, forgiveness and truth and teaches the reader that God plants dreams in our hearts for a reason. I devoured the novel in just two days and was truly sad to have to say farewell to the Nobles.

Susan May Warren does it again in this final chronicle in the lives of the Noble siblings! With a perfect balance of romance, suspense and emotion, she draws you into the lives of her characters with a fulfilling ending, a Spiritual epiphony moment for every reader, and a wish for the Noble legacy to go on and on and on.
