This is the third book I've read from author Colleen Coble and I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Her characters are three-dimensional and believable, the plot of each book has unique twists and the underlying message in each book is excellent.
Lonestar Homecoming begins with Gracie Lister and her daughter running from a drug cartel in which she discovered her fiance Cid is involved. She is rescued by border patroller Michael Wayne who deals with the cartel on a daily basis. Gracie is very secretive about her past but eventually learns to trust Michael and face up to her fears. Michael in turn realizes that family is more important than his job.
I loved the way the author weaved several different story lines together - Gracie's strained relationship with her father, Michael's relationship with his children, and of course Gracie's relationship with her former fiance and how that threatens her new family. Although it was complete as written I really wish the subplot of Gracie's relationship with her father could have been slightly expanded (or perhaps commented on in the epilogue).
I received a copy of this book from Bethany House to review.
