This book, this book! This book was such a nice holiday for my brain after the last couple of books haha!
I enjoyed it so much I didn't even make any notes on the story, I just devoured it. It is very cutesy- wutesy & very 'Mills & Boonish' (Oh Slater!) And since it's part of a trilogy I'll probably be over that by the end of it but for now it's just what I needed ( )

Surprised that Slater would give up being a Texas Ranger for just the need of church and the need of fellowship without any serious tragic experience. Could understand the confusion by his brothers. Accepted Liberty doing the deputy job but questioned how she can give it up completely. Enjoyed the humor of younger sister, Laura. Liked the banter between Slater and Liberty with it staying respectful to each other. Not a very impressive final law conflicts after such buildup. ( )

You probably know by now that one of my favorite genres is Historical Christian Romance. Lori Wick is a master. I have been reading her books for years and I just found this one on my shelf and wanted to post a quick review. Character development and scene support are both excellent. if you have read any of Lori Wick's sets you know how well she researches everything. It is not lost on me that her own faith and walk with Christ work themselves into every work. Her acknowledgment in this one is for her pastor, pastor's wife, her Bible Study Group, all of which figure prominently in her books. This one, in particular, helped me see my self growing in Christ as the main male character did. ( )

A review alert! Lori Wick has always been a favorite author of mine and I have a special fondness for her books. That said, this book was another one of her best. It was fun to read and when I finished I closed the book with a contented sigh at the end (and was ready to start book #2 in this series). I am not too sure how often you would find a lady like Liberty Drake in real life when this story took place (late 1800s), but she could do it all; from pulling a gun on people, to playing the piano in church, helping her family with preparing meals to helping out old ladies in town and finally capturing a certain Texas Ranger's heart.

Liberty first meets the Ranger, Slater Rawlings, when she arrests him for not turning over his gun in the saloon. Slater goes from angry, to shocked to amused by this lady deputy, who helps out her brother, the sheriff in Shotgun, when he needs her. You quickly learn to love Liberty and her family, especially little Laura. There was romance, and some danger, and alot of fun in this story. These folks had a real love for the Lord and it showed in the way they lived their lives and it was refreshing to read. If you just want to read a heartwarming story and feel good at the end, then this book will not disappoint you! ( )
