He never meant to be a father. 

But it could be the life he’s always wanted. 

In Hope Crossing, Texas, nurse practitioner Kirsten Reynolds has found her dream job. The only problem is that the tiny town also has Deputy Brady James…the father of her four-year-old sons. And he doesn’t know the boys are his. But as he steps into this new role he never planned for, Brady gets a hopeful glimpse into a life with children. Will he let the fear of the unknown keep him from a future he never imagined…or will an adorable pair of twins—and their mother—change his mind?

EXCERPT:
 
Nearing his southern boundary, children’s voices had Brady jerking his attention away from the fence to scan his surroundings.

Daisy gave a low growl.

“Easy, girl.” Finally, he spotted two identical little boys standing on the opposite side of the wire-mesh fence—right behind the Hart house. Both kids were dressed in jeans, one sporting a red jacket while the other’s was blue. They were watching Butterscotch, the palomino mare who’d been skin and bones when Brady brought her here several months ago.

Eyeing the ranch-style house behind them, he tugged the reins, bringing Digger to a stop. “Daisy, stay.”

The canine whimpered yet complied.

Brady’s heart pounded as he glimpsed Kirsten’s sons for the first time. He swallowed around the sudden lump in his throat. His sons.

“Hi, horsey.” The one in red reached an arm through one of the wire rectangles.

“Horsey,” the other one called in a singsong manner.

While Butterscotch ignored them, Brady couldn’t look away. His pulse raced. And he felt a slow smile building.

He wanted to get closer. To see them better. But he didn’t want to scare them. He was a stranger, after all.

“You guys see that?” he whispered to his companions. “Those are my sons.”

MY REVIEW:
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 

A heartwarming, inspirational Western romance story that will leave readers with a feeling of hope . . .

This is the author's fourth book in her 'Hope Crossing' miniseries. I read the first two books in the series and loved them! Before I began reading this story, I asked myself how can I possibly enjoy a new story as much as I enjoyed Book 1 – 'The Cowgirl's Redemption' or Book 2 – 'A Christmas Bargain?'

The answer quickly became apparent to me. This gifted author has stretched herself to write a story where the characters break through barriers and boundaries they had built around their own hearts to experience what God had planned for their life journeys all along. The story illustrates the manner in which His plans and blessings for us seem to have a way of bringing us the greatest joy and genuine happiness.

The two main characters, Kirsten Reynolds and Brady James, are surrounded by their loveable families and other residents of the small rural town of Hope Crossing, Texas. The animal characters are also favorites of mine because the author has a way of making the personalities of the many four-legged characters included in the story come alive on each page.

The faith element is strong throughout this novel, and the book is completely clean in language and content.

I received a copy of this book from the author as a member of her launch team. All of my thoughts and opinions shared here are solely my own.

Highly recommended for fans of Western romance, inspirational romance, Christian fiction, Christian romance, and clean contemporary fiction.
