Book Review - Lonestar Angel by Colleen Coble

Writing this review means that I've finished this book and I feel like I need another one just like it -  right now!

Lonestar Angel by Colleen Coble was such a great book!  It had my attention from the first page and made me neglect all other activities, just so I could finish it, in 2 days!

The element of mystery was there, right from the beginning, when the main character Eden,  is forcing herself to tell of her "past and the demons that had driven her to Wabash, Indiana."  Right at that moment, "the sense of a presence behind her made her pause."   And, that is how the story begins.

I loved the Texas setting (being that I'm partial to that great state), with the ranch and all the things that go along with the ranch setting.   I was also entertained by the "city girl" clothes and shoes that Eden tried to make due with, while walking across dirt and cow patties.    I really wanted to yell out to her, to get some jeans and boots!

The mix of characters kept the mysterious nature going; as you never knew who the "bad guy" really was, until the very end.    And, of course, it was an "ah-ha" moment when that character was revealed.
It was delivered with quite a twist, but somehow it all made sense.

This book has you rooting for the two main characters all the way through - for their love that was once lost and for the restoration of their marriage.  You also can't help but fall in love with all the little girls that are a part of the story, and you find yourself wanting to take them all home with you.

Overall, this was a great tale of real life on the Texas/Mexico border, real hurts and trials that people go through and how true love prevails when walls are broken down and we allow ourselves to feel.

It will leave you wanting a sequel or at least one close to it.
