Lonestar Angel

I must admit that I'm a little behind on my book review. I finished the book Lonestar Angel, by Colleen Coble just about 2 months ago. Between a death in the family, Christmas and work... I completely forgot about writing this. I did enjoy the book though!

The main characters are Eden and Clay... they met in Hawaii, fell in love... got married...and had a child. The baby is kidnapped and that is where things fell apart. Ultimately the loss of their child tears Eden and Clay apart and Eden leaves. She builds a new life else where. Clay continues to search for their little girl, not wanting to believe that his little girl is dead.

Eden’s hope is rekindled when Clay delivers astounding news: their baby girl has been found.

Five years ago Eden and Clay Larson’s baby was stolen. When they went to pay the ransom, what happened changed their lives forever—the kidnapper’s car with Baby Brianna inside sunk deep into the river. Eden blamed herself, Clay lost himself in work. Their young and rocky marriage ended. Or so Eden thought.

Now Eden’s moved to a new town. She’s found faith and is trying to rebuild her life. She’s even dating again—a sweet guy named Kent who plans to marry her. But then Clay arrives out of the blue and delivers shocking news: he never signed their divorce papers, so they’re still married. What’s more, Clay has been searching for Brianna all this time. And he believes he’s found her: their daughter is in Bluebird, Texas, at a youth ranch. All five little girls there are the right age—he’s just not sure which one is Brianna. Or how she survived.

To uncover the truth, Eden and Clay sign on as counselors at Bluebird Ranch. They move into small quarters in the bunkhouse and oversee the kids as they try to find out more. Working together, they rediscover their love for each other. But danger is closing in—Eden, Clay, and all their young charges are in jeopardy. As they fight to save their family, Eden realizes that God has been fighting for them all along. And His plans are for a more abundant life than they’d ever hoped.


This was an unusual and unrealistic story... but suspenseful and a page turner. I really enjoyed reading it! I can honestly say that I look forward to reading more books by Colleen Coble and I would recommend this book to others.
