"These are seven different love stories all centered around the Sacred Peaks Ranch, each story unique in its own special way. It is wonderful to see how the author portrays love between women, and also a married woman. These are peaceful and calm stories and really make you feel good about yourself. I recommend this book for all romance readers."

"This was a heartfelt sapphic romance that completely won me over. "Finding Her Home" delivers a slow-burn connection that's both tender and passionate. The first-time/sexuality awakening arc is handled with care, and the chemistry? Off the charts. Perfect for fans of queer romance with big feels, low angst, and high heat. I can't wait to read the next in the series... Highly Recommended!"

"This is the first book I've read by Annie Wiest and I'm hooked on the way she tells a story. This book felt like a painting or a song; something to be studied or absorbed in a slow and quiet way. So little was said but so much was felt. Their love develops beautifully and quietly like watching a magnificent sunset. If you're looking for a unique story that's sweet and passionate with a happily ever after, then you'll enjoy Singing Her Name as much as I did."

"Annie is a word smith, painting scenes with words. If you are stuck in the city with no place to 'forest bathe' (yep, that's a thing) reading Wide Open Valley is a worthy alternative. The entire series of romances are a great read; this book is a poem."

"I picked this up because I love small-town ranch settings, and it delivered exactly the cozy, heartfelt vibe I was hoping for. The romance felt natural and tender, and I appreciated how the story balanced emotional depth with lighter, sweet moments. The ranch backdrop made everything feel grounded and real, I could practically picture the wide-open spaces. What stood out most was how relatable the characters' struggles were. It wasn't just about falling in love, but also about belonging and finding a place to call home. By the end, I was rooting hard for them and left with a big smile."

"Another probing and tender look into a relationship between two women as they meet and deal with a unique set of circumstances. The addition of the deputy's family, her divorced sister and two utterly charming and realistic children, sharing the house while the singer hides and recovers with the aid of the local residents of Sacred Peaks Ranch is both soothing and magical in its simplicity while never playing down the seriousness of the situation. If you are looking for a strong but ultimately simple look into two people's life and loves as they recover and grow, this is a book for you."
— Goodreads ARC Reviewer (Singing Her Name)
"This was a beautiful and sweet story about finding yourself again and about being seen. About someone recognizing the toll it takes on the person who carries it all. About how it's ok to want things, just for yourself. About how being in the moment, no matter how small, is enough. About the power in a name. I love the cultural touches Annie Wiest weaves into these stories. A nickname, a place, a cherished item, a memory, even a single word or phrase. They give body and depth to the characters and a weight that speaks to whole lived experiences we are only seeing a snapshot of."

"I am officially obsessed with Emily and Alex! There is something so satisfying about the "Grumpy x Sunshine" dynamic."
— Verified Amazon Reviewer (Healing Her Heart)
"What can I say about this series that any reader should figure out from the moment you meet the characters? The peace and love that I felt reading Singing Her Name are just perfect enough to soothe my savage soul. Rae and Kim are two very different people, yet so alike in their approach towards work, towards loved ones, towards a hurt that just sits quiet under the skin. This story, this series, the ranch, warms my heart and I can't wait for another one."
