What Brett doesn't need is the reappearance of his ex-wife. Fiery Kate Donnely has come to Three Rivers to confess to Brett that they're still married, and oh, he has a seven-year-old son she never told him about. At least not in letters she mailed.
Eight years ago, Kate left Oklahoma City only weeks after Brett's first deployment, shamed because of her bad choices and the unborn child of a man she'd already asked for a divorce. She needs him to sign the papers now or she can't have access to her hefty inheritance. But Brett absolutely does not want Kate to take his son away from him again.
They strike a deal She'll stay at Three Rivers for the summer so Brett can have the opportunity to get to know his son. How far will they have to go and how much will they have to forgive in order to become a family?

Fourth and Long Three Rivers Ranch Romance Book 3 (Audible Audio Edition) Liz Isaacson Elana Johnson Becky Doughty Elana Johnson Liz Isaacson Books Reviews
I really enjoyed this story, but I did have an issue with one major point. How do you not tell a man you really loved that he has a son for 8 years? From the letters we see Kate write over the years, it's clear she's still in love with him. Crazy, manipulative, overbearing mom and grandma or not, I'd find some way to contact the man I loved. The man I clearly hoped would come for me. I don't buy that she'd be stupid enough to think he'd just "know" where she was.
Take that out of the equation and the rest of the story is wonderful. The conflicting emotions when they reconnect, the mistrust, the hurt, the hope. The writing is clean and powerful.
I especially enjoyed the little snippets that showed the unsent letters and emails Brett and Kate wrote to each other over the years. Everything in them made sense based on the fact they were not in contact with each other. But then again, how hard is it to hit "send"?
I still give Fourth and Long a solid 4 because I enjoyed the progression of their relationship, the fact it was clean, and the compelling writing.
I am reading the series although I started with #4 and had to catch up. I have difficulties with the Kate character *SPOILER ALERT* I really don't understand how quickly she filed for divorce and then how she refused to let Brett know he had a son. Seven years is a long time. I also couldn't quite figure out her mother. She seemed controlling and snobbish but then the terms of her will left open the possibility of Brett and Kate continuing their marriage. I liked all the characters but Kate I guess. I was glad to see that Brett had a hard time forgiving her. I would too. There are still typos and please get the 'it's vs its' and the 'I' vs 'me' usage correct. Hard to believe the author has written so many stories but makes these very basic mistakes. That said I do like most of the characters and the setting. I even found a horse treatment center like that in my area and plan to check it out. I might need a little equine therapy!
How have I not read anything by Liz Isaacson before now? Yikes! I have a lot of reading to catch up.)
I don’t typically choose to read books where the characters are married, but the cover spoke to me and the blurb intrigued. I didn’t like Kate in the beginning. Never really got her. Like why she asked Brett for a divorce. Why she chose to stay silent about Reid. Why she stuck around and took abuse from a patronizing mother. I mean, she was an adult, why didn’t she just take her son and live on her own? I didn’t understand some of her choices, especially toward the end.
“Kate felt utterly alone, like she was the only woman stupid enough to make such colossal mistakes.”
Yep. We’ve all been there, haven’t we? So, Kate’s love and devotion to her son, Reid, and her willingness to take a job and stay on the ranch just so Brett could get to know Reid, redeemed her. Brett, on the other hand…
“She’d loved the danger in his eyes. The years had changed him, and though his eyes were still pools of ebony, they held more wisdom now. The same passion, but curbed with patience and maturity.”
He’s been through three deployments already, suffers from PTSD and a fear of sand. Horses calm him, and he’s found a sense of peace at Three Rivers Ranch. When Kate shows up and shatters his balance, I couldn’t blame him for wrestling with forgiveness. Even so, he’s kind and sweet and really good with Reid. What a hero! Especially when he…yikes, I can’t give that away! You’ll have to read the book.)
I appreciated the insight from the letters and emails, but toward the end, I felt like they took over the story. The faith thread was subtle, not overpowering or preachy, and the romance the perfect balance of speak and sizzle. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed Fourth and Long. Now, I’m off to find more romances in the Three Rivers Ranch series!
“The Lord speaks to each of us differently,” he said.
“Does He?” She wished her voice didn’t sound quite so desperate, quite so unsure. But she wasn’t sure God heard or answered her prayers.
