Publisher's Summary:

Texas, 1874. Long ago Scout Proffitt gave up on ever being a man of honor like his Civil War hero brother, Clayton. But when Scout steps foot on the rundown remnants of the Circle C ranch, he wonders if maybe - just maybe - the Lord has something different intended for him.

Rosemarie has lived most of her life doubting her worth and shouldering the blame for her brother's death. But when a stranger rides onto her ranch claiming he owns it, she suddenly is given a choice: either keep looking at the dark side of life...or dare to dream.

Pretty Decent

Scout is a fascinating character, but not nearly enough was done with him. Again, I appreciate the author's ability to make the world far more gritty than can be found in most Christian novels, without sacrificing that feeling of Hope that I, as a Christian reader, am looking for. That said, once again there was a great deal of build-up without much in the way of pay-off as far as the action side of the plot went. The whole big showdown just kinda fizzled out making everyone look like they were getting worked up over nothing. Additionally, while I appreciate that Scout's trying to take an active role in his redemption, he comes across as far too nice and peace-loving in the beginning of the book for this to have the intended weight, unless the author was to put a cruel twist at the end.

Additionally, the author had some particularly annoying inconsistencies in this book. Rio changed from a black to a white horse, from a stallion, to a gelding, to a mare. Scout's gun clicked twice before he cocked the hammer, and then he holstered it twice in a row without unholstering it. Proofreading.

Complaints aside, I'm pretty sure I read this in a sitting and a half, so it's definitely not a bad read.

Loved It!

This book had several stories going on. At first, I didn't think I liked that, but then the stories came together, and I saw the purpose in all of them. I thought this one was better than A TEXAN'S HONOR. Scout Proffitt had been a cold-blooded killer, but lately he wanted more. He wanted a normal life. When he won a Texas ranch in a poker game, he was hoping this would be his chance to start over. When he gets to the run-down ranch, he finds the man dead, his wife and one daughter packing to leave, and the other daughter left behind. Rosemarie was a pretty little thing, but her family had made her feel worthless all her life, and blamed her for her brother's death, when his drowning had been an accident. Can two misfits who are so different find the happiness they so long for?

This was a well-written novel with almost no grammatical errors. I found only one awkward sentence--"After he glancing her way, Scout rocked back on his heels." I wish there'd been more faith included, but it's still a good, clean novel. I have loved this series, and A TEXAN'S CHOICE is certainly a five-star for me. I wish there'd be another one about Russell. This series is too good to end yet.

A Texan's Choice

What a palatable tension builds in the last book of this series, it was terrific! All three novels are stories of hope and redemption when all seems lost, broken and the characters despair of life in dire situations.
