Peace in the Valley is such a wonderfully emotional, heartwarming read. It is the third book in the Double S Ranch series but can totally be read as a standalone if you so wish. Just like the other books in this series I loved the atmosphere of the ranch and the overall feeling of faith, family, and community that you get throughout the story. Trey is an interesting character indeed, especially considering how he came to live at Double S Ranch, his past hurts, and his current occupation. The fact that both Trey and Lucy are trying to move on from their past which has also made them wary because of it, makes me instantly feel like they are perfectly suited to help each other grow and heal. This of course also leads to plenty of back and forth and wavering of feelings and intentions but also some fun banter. I also like that I got to see my old friends from the previous books and did anyone else catch the hinted romance between Sam and a certain spunky lady? Loved it! I would definitely like to read more books by this author.
