Description
A girl inherits a ranch and falls for the rodeo rider she can’t have in this cosy, small-town cowboy romance for YA readers, ideal for fans of My Life With the Walter Boys, Lynn Painter and Jenny Han.
When Dahlia solely inherits her beloved grandpa’s ranch, her life turns upside-down. Her decision to stay instead of going to college is easy, but she needs to raise money fast to avoid selling – and all she has to save her heritage are the sour cherries from the orchard and the sweet honey from her bees.
Her second problem? Local rodeo rider, Cash, who she can’t stop running into. Between their old family enmity and his star-rider girlfriend, Dahlia knows she should keep her distance – and focuses on the attentions of her school friend, Wyatt. But when Cash rescues her after a bee sting and comes to work with her in the orchard, the attraction becomes even harder to bear.
Along the way, Dahlia discovers letters and diaries in an old barn that reveal a tragic love story from generations before. Among them, a secret is waiting to come to light… Could the mysteries of the past be the key to unlocking the ranch’s future? And could the love growing between Dahlia and Cash heal the wounds of their families’ history?
- A gorgeous cowboy romance for YA readers, with a cosy, small-town ranch setting and a compelling historical mystery to unravel
- Beloved romance tropes including forbidden love, forced proximity and love triangle
- An empowering coming-of-age story with themes of growing up and identity, family and ancestry, forgiveness and closure

A Sweet & Charming YA Romance Set In The Small Town Of Pinto Valley, Colorado, USA. This Story Follows Dahlia And Cash, Dahlia Inherits Her Grandpa's Ranch After He Dies And Cash Is A Rodeo Rider. I Adored This Book And The Writing Style Was So Free Flowing And Easy To Read. Dhalia's Land Is Believed To Be Cursed And Nothing Grows Apart From Cherry Trees And Honey. I Loved The Historical Mystery To Solve, I Was So Invested, I Couldn't Put It Down. I Enjoyed The Farmer's Market Scenes Too And How Dahlia Entered The Young Producers Competition. The Family Dynamic In The Story Were Great Too And Felt Very Authentic , From Her Issues With Her Sister, Her Mum's Illness (Lupus) And Her Dad Being Horrible. Teens Will Love A Visit To Cherry Tree Ranch.
Thank You To NetGalley And The Publisher For The ARC.

Finishing The Cherry Tree Ranch feels so incredibly bittersweet!
I was instantly drawn to Meghan’s book by that gorgeous cover, and after not reading a small-town romance for a little while, this was exactly the book I needed. Excuse the pun, but The Cherry Tree Ranch really was the cherry on top!
From the very beginning, I completely fell in love with Dahlia and Cash’s story. After inheriting her grandfather’s supposedly ‘cursed’ ranch, Dahlia is determined to bring Cherry Tree Ranch back to life. I loved her passion, resilience and sheer determination to hold onto something that meant so much to her and MOST of her family!
And then there’s Cash… What an MMC! A rodeo rider who is respectful, dependable, knows exactly what he wants and ALWAYS shows up when it matters. Quite literally a lifesaver! I absolutely loved watching their relationship develop alongside their fight to save the ranch.
But what really made this book special for me were the connections Dahlia and Cash had to their late family members. The way the memories, flashbacks and dreams were woven throughout their story was so beautifully done and added so much heart and emotion.
This was such a comforting, hopeful and genuinely heartwarming read. I loved escaping to Silver Springs and Cherry Tree Ranch, and I’m already hoping this isn’t the last we see of this wonderful town and its characters!
Meghan is such a wonderful writer, and if you love small-town romance, rodeo riders, family, hope, resilience and a story with ALL the heart, you need The Cherry Tree Ranch on your TBR.
Thank you so much to Meghan, Scholastic and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this YA novel ahead of publication. I’ve genuinely loved every minute of it.

Thank you so much for the arc! 4.5 rounded up! I was really excited to see a book with a ranch/ cowboy theme in the ya section since it’s so hard to find them. I really loved the setting and it’s super clear the author has a lot of knowledge within this field which really added to the storyline itself especially since it’s not something I’m knowledgable in so it was really nice to learn more about that world! The characters have a lot of depth and this was definitely so much more than a romance book, I loved the way the past was woven into the story and it brought a lot of emotion and uniqueness to the book. I can definitely see this book being enjoyed by readers who love books with a lot of heart and family history interwoven in them. Only knocked half a star off as I didn’t fully connect with it but that’s nothing to do with the book itself and it was still a very enjoyable read!
