Review of A Texan's Choice

Title: A Texan’s Choice

Author: Shelley Gray

Genre: Christian Historical fiction, Christian Western

Rating: 4 ½ stars

Publisher: Abingdon Press

     A Texan’s Choice is Scout Proffitt’s story.  Out of all the Heart of a Hero series I think Scout is the one who is the most changed. He started to change in A Texan’s Promise. But after meeting Rosemarie in A Texan’s Choice he almost becomes a hero.  Scout is Clayton’s baby brother ( A Texan’s Promise).

     I enjoyed A Texan’s Choice more than I thought I would. To me it was a nice end to the Proffitt brother’s story.  As the third book in the Heart of a Hero series I felt it was a nice end to the series, but I would still love to see books in the series.  There were a few things in A Texan’s Choice that I wasn’t used to seeing or reading in Christian fiction but they were minor at least to me. Though others might not see it that way.

I received a copy of  A Texan’s Choice from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. The thoughts in this review are my own.

A Texan’s Choice will release from Abingdon Press on October 1

Chapters: 39

Rating: 5 stars

A Texan’s Honor is the second book in The Heart of Hero series. It is Will’s story; Will McMillan fought in the Civil War with Clayton Proffitt. Now Will is an U.S. Marshall. While working undercover our hero meets Jamie Ellis a different kind of heroine. She is not really a damsel in distress per say, but she is also not one of those strong western women either.

I enjoyed A Texan’s Honor more than I thought I would. Will has become a hero that was realistic because he was flawed. He was real but, he felt like he was a tarnish hero that didn’t feel like anyone could love him.  There was a nice balance of action, and romance neither over powered the other. Even though it is the second book in the series it can be read on its own without ruining the first book. 

Review of A Texan's Promise

Series:   The Heart of a Hero

Chapters: 24 plus Epilogue

Pages: 350

Genre: Christian Historical/ western

Rating: 5 stars

     A Texan’s Promise, is a western novel by an author that normally see write Amish fiction. I really enjoyed the book. At first I wasn’t too fond of the heroine she seemed too much like a China doll.  But after everything that Vanessa went though at the hands of her step-father my respect for her grew. Though the novel she grew stronger mentally, emotionally and in her faith. Vanessa Grant ran to the only person she could trust; Clayton Profitt. She’s loved Clayton for years, but she’s afraid to let him know.

     Clayton will risk everything to protect Vanessa for two reasons. One he promised her father he would protect her, and because he loves her. Once on the trail they enter into a marriage to protect Vanessa. Will Clayton and Vanessa admit their feeling for each other? Will their marriage ever be a true marriage? Will Vanessa finally find peace away from her step-father?

     Clayton is a hero that every girl dreams about, if they dreamed of cowboys. I know I did. Clayton is one of the good guys and a Christian. I normally don’t like the hero on the cover, but the face and the Silhouette of the hero on horseback works.

     A Texan’s Promise is the first book in The Heart of the Hero series; I am already looking forward to the second book in the series that is coming out next year.
