A Tender Hope by Amanda Cabot

From the publisher:
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.

This is the 3rd book in the Cimarron Creek Trilogy.  If you have enjoyed the other books you will definitely enjoy this one as well! This story is more than just a "sappy romance." There is heartbreak, mystery and danger as well as romance.  Readers will enjoy the mystery and keep turning the pages to quickly find out what is next.  

This is a good realistic book that will educate readers about the Midwest and the time period of the characters.  I always like this as I gain more than just a good story but also some understanding of the time period.  

I received this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
