A vegan alpaca farmer, a ranch hand, and an accidental pregnancy.

Indigo Hewitt reluctantly decides a move to Hope Ranch is the best of the few options available. Despite not knowing her grandparents well, she moves in a few days before her baby sister’s wedding. Based on conversations she’s had with ranch hand Joaquin, Indigo figures she’ll manage to fit in just fine.

Joaquin Rivera has been pushing the Hewitts to bring livestock to Hope Ranch. When Indigo relocates with her herds, he’s excited to lend a hand with the sheep and alpacas. Working alongside Indigo isn’t going to be a hardship, either.

After a tipsy evening together, Joaquin is determined to get his relationship with Indigo back to a place that honors God. One mistake isn’t going to ruin either of their lives. Until those two pink lines appear.

Will they find a way to make a family, or will Indigo’s need for freedom be too much for love to overcome?

Tense

Love this series. Every one is a gem in one way or another. Shows how our upbringing can leave marks on our hearts we are not aware of. Like "everyone leaves". I had this too. Love the unconditional love and acceptance of the grand parents. Would love to have a home where "belong" like this. Anyway. A good read with lots to keep you engaged until the interesting ending.

Wonderful and full of hope

This is a wonderful story of redemption and forgiveness for two imperfect people, Joaquin & Indigo. I loved Joaquin's faithfulness and commitment and Indigo's fierce determination, as well as the way Indigo's grandparents are so welcoming. The sense of family and faith in this book is strong and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Highly recommended.

Shades of Blue: Indigo

We all mess up, some of us in more obvious ways than others. Do we live our lives in a way that makes others want to know Jesus or are we the stereotypical ones? We can accept forgiveness and try to do better, or we can cling to our failures. Good communication always helps, it isn't always easy!

Inspiring and unique characters and storyline!

Once again, Elizabeth Maddrey writes an encouraging and relevant book. Even though this is book #4 in the series you could easily read it alone. I will warn you that you’ll be hooked and want to read all the other books as the characters are so unique and inspiring in their own ways.

Can Joaquin convince Indigo he has feelings for her and will she let down her guard and let him in?

When Indigo's family moved to Hope Ranch because of her father's death to be near their grandparents it was a major change in all of their lives. They had never had anyone before really care about them and it was hard to believe that these people really loved them or were they just putting up with them because they were family? This story will pull you into the whole family and how they cope with all the things that are going on in their lives but faith is the main one and because of it, their lives will mesh and things were work out somehow. When Indigo and Joaquin have an instant attraction, will it lead to other things that will surprise them both or will it just be for one night only?
