Third generation Texas Ranger Tyler Steele is the last of a dying breed– a modern day cowboy hero living in a world that doesn’t quite understand his powerful sense of right and wrong and instinct to defend those who can’t defend themselves. Despite his strong moral compass, Ty has trouble seeing his greatest weakness. His hard outer shell, the one essential to his work, made him incapable of … forging the emotional connection his wife Andie so desperately needed.
Now retired, rasing their son Brodie on his own, and at risk of losing his ranch, Ty does not know how to rebuild from the rubble of his life. The answer comes in the form of Samantha and her daughter Hope, on the run from a seemingly inescapable situation. They are in danger, desperate, and alone. Though they are strangers, Ty knows he can help– protecting the innocent is what he does best. As his relationship with Sam and Hope unfolds, Ty realizes he must confront his true weaknesses if he wants to become the man he needs to be.more
Charles Martin is a great author! I have enjoyed every book of his that I have read.
WOW – another home run by Charles Martin. I would give this 8 stars if I could. You will love this book.
Thunder and Rain Charles Martin has become one of my favorite authors. I am not able to “read” books so I listen on Audiobooks. No matter what the main theme of his books, I always feel as if I have learned something new and gotten just a little bit smarter. This book was no different. The theme of the famous Texas Rangers was very interesting. The history behind the Rangers, along with the information taught about firearms, their evolution through the year and how to use them was not boring or dull but just the opposite. . The characters were memorable and enjoyable. Mr. Martins books are always “clean” with very little or no swearing or sex. This was one of his earlier books. It character of Hope and her journals were thought provoking and at times made me chuckle, but were not “heavy”. This is a great read for both men and women. I would highly recommend it.
Charles Martin writes the best heroes! I love the western feel to this one too!
Love everything by Charles Martin.

This was my first time to read this author.
I really enjoyed the book!
It is always good to know that there are good people out there who will do the right thing for the right reason. I really enjoyed this story. This author never disappoints me.
Absolutely fabulous book. Loved every page of it.
I fell in love with Charles Martin after I began “When Crickets Cry” … I didn’t need to finish to know I’d found my favorite author. His stories all have a redemption element, but they aren’t “preachy” and most definitely contain real-life characters who are flawed and fallen. They almost always get back up time and time again. This story was a little less intense, and told partially in flashbacks, which keeps you guessing a bit. The writing is crisp, clean, and intriguing. I recommend all his novels; this one has an especially nice ending.
I am always amazed by his books. They are a powerful story that will keep you on the edge of your seat and make you think long after the story has ended. I’m never disappointed
Anything by Charles Martin is WONDERFUL!!!!!
