Second Chance at Rancho Lindo is the first novel in the Rancho Lindo series by Sabrina Sol. After a career-ending injury caused by an IED leaves Gabe Ortega with persistent problems gripping his hands, he finds himself returning to the family ranch, Rancho Lindo—a place he once was eager to leave behind. Surrounded by his four brothers, who are deeply involved in the ranch’s operations, Gabe struggles to find common ground with a father he feels disconnected from, marking him as the family’s outlier. It’s during this pivotal moment in his life that Gabe crosses paths again with Nora Torres, the ranch’s horticulturist. Despite an immediate attraction to her, Gabe is haunted by unresolved issues from his past with both Nora and his family, and he’s at a crossroads about his future direction.

Second Chance at Rancho Lindo initiates a series delving into the lives of the Ortega family, proprietors of Rancho Lindo for many generations. Gabe, the second eldest brother, has always felt overshadowed by the towering expectations of his father and the successes of his older brother, Cruz. This pressure reached its boiling point when Gabe, at eighteen, enlisted in the military to escape the mounting tension at home. This decision, while creating a rift within his tight-knit family, also severed ties with Nora, who had expected Gabe to take her to a dance—a promise forgotten in his haste to leave.

Like her peers in the Latinx romance genre, the author brings her unique twist to the expected delights of these stories. The culinary descriptions are particularly mouthwatering, leaving readers wishing they could taste the dishes savored by the characters. The portrayal of family life is another high point, with Gabe embedded in the closely woven fabric of the Ortega family, hinting at numerous possibilities for sequels. However, the emphasis on family dynamics occasionally overshadows the romantic elements of the story. An unresolved storyline involving cancer also looms, promising to influence the direction of future narratives.

Gabe emerges as a character many readers will find themselves cheering for. His journey to define himself beyond his family ties is compelling, especially as he grapples with PTSD following his military service—a detail that, though surprising to some readers, is handled with sensitivity.
Nora, while endearing, doesn’t receive as much development as Gabe. Nonetheless, her longstanding ties to the ranch ensure she’s well-integrated into the storyline and connected to the ensemble cast. Although the romance could have benefited from more detailed exploration, particularly the misunderstandings that led to their initial separation, Nora and Gabe’s relationship is ultimately heartwarming.

The book navigates the common challenge of opening a series, balancing a standalone storyline, and laying the groundwork for future books. While this dual focus may leave the book feeling somewhat incomplete on its own, it sets an intriguing stage for what’s next. For fans of multicultural romances seeking a narrative rich in culture and family, this book is a recommended choice.
