Oklahoma 1891

When the sheriff’s daughter goes into hiding from her father’s killer, her life isn’t the only thing in danger.

Jessica Thomson is fleeing the man who killed her father. But her
stagecoach is robbed, and when the stranger who rescues her declares she will be his wife, she does the only thing she knows to do—shove her revolver in his back. Never would she have expected he wore a star on his chest. Too bad she vowed never to love another lawman.

As sheriff, Blake McKenny prides himself on protecting his town’s people
from danger, but his efforts didn’t include a headstrong woman bent on
putting herself in harm’s way. When outlaws threaten his town and put
Jessica’s life in danger, Blake’s failure to save his late wife haunts him.

Can Jessica and Blake forgive themselves for the past and protect each
other—even if that costs them their hearts in the process?

A Christian Historical Romance with a Western setting theme, is a book that totally makes me happy. The Proposal by Tanya Eavenson is Book 2 in the All Roads Lead to Texas series. I had the opportunity to read it recently. 

Jessica Thomson recently lost her father to a murderer, and now she is fearing for her life. She

really becomes fearful when her Stagecoach is robbed. Sheriff Blake McKenny comes to her rescue and almost immediately declares she will be his wife. Jessica is unsure of what is happening and doesn't realize he is the sheriff and sticks her revolver in his back. She soon realizes he is the Sheriff and now her heart is torn as she has sworn she would never love another Lawman. Sheriff Blake McKenny is fast realizing how Determined Jessica is and how she loves her independence. He knows his job as Sheriff is to protect his town and the People, but he is also remembering his late wife. He feels even more determined to protect Jessica, as he thinks he failed to protect his late wife. Will the Murderer who killed Jessica's Dad be found and captured? Will Jessica and Blake be able to put their pasts behind them? Will there be a love connection between Jessica and Blake? 

A GREAT Page Turner book! I was hooked from the very first chapter and couldn't put it down. There was definitely a lot of "Texas style" action in this book. Jessica is a VERY determined woman who wants to be cautious with falling in love. Blake is a wonderful and caring gentleman, who knows what he wants but also remembers his past. The Proposal is a book about trusting God, forgiveness, being able to move forward in life with confidence. I really like that the book definitely has a Christian Focus. FANTASTIC BOOK!

Fiction to Reality

Ever had those moments when you’re reading a novel and it’s as if the author wrote the story line, the characters, or included verses just for you? When your world turns from fiction to reality with the flip of a page?

 

At the beginning of December in 2014, I took a novel from my bookshelf, snuggled on the couch with a blanket, and began to read. The title of the novel is called The Rancher’s Reunion by Tina Radcliffe. The hero in the story is Will, and he has a hereditary disease that caused him to fear, not only his future, but in trusting God. And that’s when God used this story to speak to me.

 

“I’m scared, Annie.”

“I know, Will. I know.” She blinked back the moisture pricking her eyes.

“No, Annie. I don’t think you do. I’m not just scared. I’m terrified.”

 

And I understood Will’s fear. Weeks prior to reading this novel, my doctor told me I have cancer. It’s a single word that can change the course of your life, emotionally, physically, but not only yours, others around you. And though I knew God’s presence would be with me no matter what the future held, my desire to write or edit anything had vanished. Honestly, I wasn’t sure I wanted to write anymore with my future so uncertain. I wasn’t just scared, but terrified my time with my family would be shortened.

 

But as I continued to read Will’s story, God’s whispered words, Do not be afraid of things you cannot control, pray, and continue your call to write, took hold and draped around my heart.

I knew at that moment this book was meant to be read at this appointed time. That God was leading me to give Him every single fear, open my laptop, and begin to write again.

 

During the time I’d stopped writing, I was in the middle of two stories, a contemporary romance, and The Rescue, the first story in the All Roads Lead to Texas series. It took some months before I returned to writing, but I had to give my fears to God the only way I could. Like Will and Annie’s story, day by day. Moment by moment.

 

In my new novel, The Proposal, the second story in the All Roads Lead to Texas series, Jessica Thompson understands fear and must learn how to give it to God. She has her father’s killer on her trail and the only means for escape is to run, but she never counted on the sheriff of Graham, Texas, to get in her way.

 

Have you ever had a time in your life where fear caught you so unexpectedly that you didn’t know what to do next? Perhaps you didn’t know where to turn? Maybe couldn’t pray?

 

I’m here to tell you it’s okay. God knows how you feel, good or bad, it doesn’t change His love for you. Just remember, He’s with you, by your side through it all. He will never leave you.
