A Tender Hope (Cimarron Creek Trilogy #3) by Amanda Cabot

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.

About The Author

With both parents avid readers, it's no surprise that Amanda Cabot learned to read at an early age. From there it was only a small step to deciding to become a writer. Of course, deciding and becoming are two different things, as she soon discovered. Fortunately for the world, her first attempts at fiction were not published, but she did meet her goal of selling a novel by her thirtieth birthday. Since then she’s sold more than thirty-five novels. When she’s not writing, Amanda enjoys sewing, cooking and – of course – reading.

My Review

This is the third book in this series that I have read and enjoyed, and yes, it can definitely be read alone.
We are back in Cimarron Creek and with newly widowed Thea and a young woman who will become a dear friend, a woman searching for her family, she was adopted and raised in France.
Now we add in some very dashing men, and one a Ranger and of course, a gang doing crime. Also, a new-found baby, what? Yes, can you imagine finding a baby in the desert? Intrigued, this is just a sample of what is waiting once you begin turning the covers of this read!
As the author tells us at the end of this book, this is the end of this series, but we are teased with a new upcoming treasure.

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Revell, and was not required to give a positive review.
