Disclaimer-If you read the review and feel there is a spoiler in it, please let me know and I will remove that section. Also, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Thank you.Secure the Ranch is the first book by debut author Joyce Oroz.
Secure the Ranch follows a mystery surrounding Josephine Stuart, an artist who is hired to paint some murals for a wealthy client high in the mountains of California. After strange accidents, occurrences, and the death of a wildlife ranger, Josephine finds she is unable to set aside her curiosity and delves deep into a mystery best left alone. Some subplots involve her friendship with one of her neighbors, visits with her mom and dad, and others that would lead to spoilers.
I will have to admit that the writing in this book is well done. Even though I may have found myself hesitant at times to pick the book back up from other things I was doing, once I did, I was engrossed and read chapter after chapter. The characters were also better than I imagined they would be at the beginning. I had a vision of the wealthy clients to be the snobbish type and they turned out to be much better than that and I was thankful. There was some nice depth to the characters and they were easy to connect with.
Some criticisms:
1. The dialogue, though done well enough throughout the majority of the book had some abrupt endings to it. It just felt like there was more to be said, but the next thing I know, the story moves on to something else. Mostly this happens while Josephine is searching for answers of what is going on.
2. There were a couple of inconsistencies in this book. The main one is at the beginning when Josephine is getting ready for bed; she sets the alarm for 7:30. In the next chapter, she is woken to music coming from the clock radio at 7.
Some Positives
1. I really did enjoy the characters in this novel. Everyone had their own voice and was easy to distinguish from the other characters. The reader can easily connect with the characters.
2. In just about every chapter, something happens to keep the reader engaged in the story. Ms. Oroz really knows how to keep a mystery going and giving just enough tidbits for the reader to try to figure out what is going on and who is involved.
3. The imagery is nicely detailed without overbearing the reader with all the details. It is a nice mix of giving the author's vision while at the same time leaving out enough so the reader can fill in the rest.
There are reviewers who compare this with Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. Aside from having a pet, bill collectors calling constantly, and an overactive sense of curiosity, that is about where the comparison ends. I will say I did enjoy this book and if there are to be more books from this author, I will definitely buy them. I know most of Janet Evanovich's fans are getting tired of the stale trail the plum books have been following, so I would recommend this one to them for a refreshing view away from the every day.
Happy reading

Secure the Ranch The Josephine Stuart Series Book 1 edition by Joyce Oroz Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Josephine's curiosity is like a cat with nine lives! What a ride, now I need to rest from all the excitement. A thrill from start to finish. Jo is a hired muralist who can't help but wonder what is going on at the Munger Mansion being built with incident after incident. She and her side kick basset hound Solow smell trouble and follow their nose into an adventure you're sure to enjoy!
The author gives you an escape into adventure and fun. Could not put the book down once I started reading it. Great book
Story line is great and has lots of twists and turns
I really enjoyed this book. I highly recommend!!!!
I could not put this book down! It's set in the Santa Cruz mountains which are near my home so it was fun to know the area.
Josephine has a keen sense of right and wrong but she gets herself into sticky situations but somehow manages to get out with the help of her friends and her lovable dog.
Can't wait for the next book!
Joyce has done it again. The story, the characters and
The Redwood setting a perfection for any reader.
Will be looking for more offerings from this author!
Fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plumb novels will love this book. Oroz's main character, Josephine Stuart, is an every day "Jo" (ha ha) who gets into pickle after pickle in the scenic Santa Cruz mountains. Jo, and her trusty side kick Solo, is a woman you'll want to spend more time with after the book is over. Oroz has created a funny - at times laugh out loud - adventure that had me staying up late turning pages.
