About Karen Ranney

Some authors write their novels, almost as a catharsis of whatever is happening in their lives at that moment. They write no matter what is happening around them........sickness, good or bad weather, a death, flood.......you get the idea. Such are the writing habits of author, Karen Ranney.

Author Ranney has a solid foundation of goodness, believing that we should treat others as we ourselves wish to be treated. It is rare to find an author with such integrity. She believes in the transformative power of niceness and love.....that we have more nice people than ugly ones. She knew from the age of five that she wanted to be a writer. She carried around a big blue book the same as other little girls might have carried a doll.

We all have many conflicts in our lives every day. To be able to defuse those conflicts through the written word is very special to author Ranney. She enjoys throwing her characters into the deep end, showing their flaws, but never having them whine, or having strong women who are not expecting a man to rescue them. And, the men do not blame women for everything wrong in their lives. The author says.......hopefully, my characters always have a deep core of beliefs, but they do not always act in perfect ways...... they are like real people.

Goodreads review by Jenn on March 24, 2022

This was pleasant enough. Great narration and a good story. Brother's Best Friend and a second chance romance. More like a romance that never quite came to be when they were young. It was a very slow burn though and I was bored with the plot in a few ways. 4 Stars 2.5 on the spice scale. (There wasn't......more

Goodreads review by Meghan on July 03, 2024

More like 3 1/2. It was fine. I don’t think I bought that Lennox just realized that he loved Glynas all of a sudden and then wanted to marry her. He had to know of her feelings for years. I did think this was better than the second one.......more
