Love Somebody Like You is the fifth book in the Trinity Lakes Romance series, and apparently it’s named for a song I don’t know by a singer I don’t know …
Lexi Franklin has returned to Trinity Lakes after an incident on the job in Australia. She needs somewhere to rest and recover, but still wants to be able to make herself useful. So when she realises she can use her nursing skills to help a local family, she’s only too happy to offer.
Jackson Reilly runs the family ranch outside Trinity Lakes with help from his sister—who would rather not be stuck on the ranch—and his mother, who has health issues. He also has a stud bull who’s not doing his job, a black hole in the ranch finances, and no idea how to fix any of his problems.
(There is an obvious solution, but Jackson—like many people—has a fundamental problem with asking for help.)
Jackson reluctantly accepts Lexi’s offer of help, which sets the scene for an enjoyable forced proximity romance.
As with Carolyn Miller’s other novels (both historical and contemporary), Love Somebody Like You has great characters, strong writing, and a solid faith thread.
Love Somebody Like You is the fifth book in the Trinity Lakes Romances series (following mine!), but it can easily be read as a standalone. In fact, I think it was the first book in the series I read. It also involves characters from some of Carolyn Miller’s other series, but you don’t need to have read them either (although a couple of Reilly brothers do make a cameo appearance, which fans will appreciate).
Recommended for fans of contemporary Christian romance who like a solid faith element and characters overcoming true-to-life problems.

About Love Somebody Like You
For Lexi Franklin, returning to Trinity Lakes feels a little like running home with her tail between her legs.
But what’s a girl to do, when her life has been turned upside down on the other side of the world? She needs a place to regain hope and healing – just didn’t count on meeting a cowboy whose own battered heart might need nursing back to health too.
Jackson Reilly has his own set of troubles, between caring for his ranch, his mom, and the black hole of finances. So when a pretty redhead with a sassy tongue offers some distraction – and a potential solution to one of his most pressing concerns – he’s not going to say no.
But as they spend time together, questions soon rise about their future, and whether faith can truly win over fears. Will Jackson be able to save his ranch, and his hopes and heart, before Lexi returns to Australia?
Glad you enjoyed. (Um, and Keith Urban?)
Like I said, a singer I don’t know 😉 I’ve heard the name, but it wasn’t until he married Nicole Kidman that I realised he wasn’t the Lord of the Rings/Star Trek actor (that’s Karl Urban).
Thank you, Iola. I’ve read all of Carolyn’s books about the ice hockey players and loved them all. I’ve bought the Kindle version of ‘Love Somebody Like You’ and look forward to reading it soon!
I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Let us know what you think 🙂
