Will the Larson's discover the glue that binds marriages together or will they be torn more by reliving their grief once again?I received this novel compliments of Thomas Nelson Publishers and Net Galley for my honest review and absolutely loved the story of love torn apart and God revealing Himself in the midst of a parents worst nightmare. This is a story about faith, hope and love, the three greatest gifts God has to offer anyone who believes in Him. I rate this one a 5 out of 5 stars for those that love western modern day romance stories with suspense thrown in to add some spice. First, a thank you to the publisher, Thomas Nelson, and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.Lonestar Angel is a christian fiction, romance, and bit of adventure all rolled in one captivating story. This is book number 4 in her Lonestar series. I haven't read any of the other books, but I didn't feel like I was missing a thing. So, it's just as good a stand-alone book as part of a series. I reviewed another of the author, Colleen Coble's, books earlier this year. The Lightkeeper's Ball was a historical fiction novel. It's nice to see that Ms. Coble is as good, if not better at writing contemporary romance. The story flowed very well and was a fast, easy read.There was adventure and suspense woven into the book - who kidnapped Brianna and which little girl was she? These mysteries helped keep things interesting and kept me guessing as I went along. I was able to figure out one of the "bad guys," but I was only 95% sure until the ending.Lonestar Angel is an entertaining novel, full of friendship, love, and spiced with danger. It's definitely worth the time to read!
