As far as Thea Michener is concerned, it’s time for a change. With her husband murdered and her much-anticipated baby stillborn, there is nothing left for her in Ladreville. Having accepted a position as Cimarron Creek’s midwife, she has no intention of remarrying and trying for another child. So when a handsome Texas Ranger appears on her doorstep with an abandoned baby, Thea isn’t sure her heart Can take it.
Ranger Jackson Guthrie isn’t concerned only with the baby’s welfare. He’s been looking for Thea, convinced that her late husband was part of the gang that killed his brother. But it soon becomes clear that the situation is far more complicated than he anticipated–and he’ll need Thea’s help if he’s ever to find the justice he seeks.
Amanda Cabot invites readers back to Cimarron Creek for a tender story of loss, betrayal, and love in the majestic Texas Hill Country.

Praise

Inspiration for A Tender Hope
A Little Help from My Friends
These gifts encouraged me when I hit rough spots in the book and reminded me of what’s important in life – love, friendship, and hope.
While not an official reviewer for this tour, I was able to pick up a copy from Netgalley. I’ve read the first two books in this series and I had to know what happened next for the sleepy little town of Cimarron Creek.
This is the last book in this series and the author does an amazing job of wrapping up all of the personal storylines and making sure there is plenty of happily ever afters for the citizens of Cimarron Creek. This book focuses on Thea and Jackson, but there are also storylines for Warner, Patience, Nate, and Aimee. I enjoyed how each story interconnected with others and I found myself rooting for each character and whom they might end up with as their soulmate. Along with the romance, there is action and suspense when it comes to the Gang of Four and their search for Thea because they think she knows things that her deceased husband might have told her. There were times I wondered what could possibly happen next to these characters and would everything turn out ok in the end?
There are plenty of cameos from characters in the first books like Lydia and Travis and even Andy and Catherine. I was excited to see Grace reunite with her daughter, but not without some trials and tribulations to get to that point.
We give this 5 paws up and highly recommend this trilogy – but start with A Stolen Heart and then A Borrowed Dream before reading this one mainly for continuity. You could read out of order but it will make more sense to read in order.
