About this ebook

As far as Thea Michener is concerned, it's time for a change. With her husband murdered and her much-anticipated baby stillborn, there is nothing left for her in Ladreville. Having accepted a position as Cimarron Creek's midwife, she has no intention of remarrying and trying for another child. So when a handsome Texas Ranger appears on her doorstep with an abandoned baby, Thea isn't sure her heart can take it.

Ranger Jackson Guthrie isn't concerned only with the baby's welfare. He's been looking for Thea, convinced that her late husband was part of the gang that killed his brother. But it soon becomes clear that the situation is far more complicated than he anticipated--and he'll need Thea's help if he's ever to find the justice he seeks.

Amanda Cabot invites readers back to Cimarron Creek for a tender story of loss, betrayal, and love in the majestic Texas Hill Country.

Ratings and reviews

This is the third and final book in the Cimarron Creek Trilogy. Even though you will miss lots of history from the Cimarron Creek family. This is still a stand a lone book. If you jump right into this book you will not have a hard time figuring out what is going on. If you like a series then start with book one (A Stolen Heart) and enjoy the entire series. There are many different characters and things going on in this book, however the main story line is about Thea Michener and Ranger Jackson Guthrie. Thea and Jackson will have to come to grips with truth and try and find the gang of four before they find Thea. There is lots of suspense, romance, sparks, mystery, history and more all wrapped into a great story.

A TENDER HOPE. By Amanda Cabot 1881 Thea feeling free, her horse and items of her trade was all she was taking with her. Thea had secrets and afraid someone would find out. She was now headed to Cimmaron Creek, a position as a midwife. To shed the black garments and all that was lost. A friend, Aimee she had recently meet was going with her. Upon arriving into town and awaiting for her on the doorsteps of her new home, was Ranger Jackson, with a baby he found. He was in town looking for three men and a woman that were part of a gang. She recognized him,did he her. Interesting and enjoyable to read, about new beginnings, will she find happiness and friends. For Aimee will she find her mother . Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion from Net Galley and Revell.

A Tender Hope is the final book in a Cimarron Creek Trilogy. A Tender Hope can be read alone, but, after reading it, you will want to go back and read the other two books in the series. The couples from the first two books are included in A Tender Hope. I thought A Tender Hope was well-written with gentle pacing. Amanda Cabot has a casual writing style that engages the reader and draws them into her tale. The Christian elements are nicely integrated into the story. I like that it was light but meaningful. Thea’s story was intriguing. New details are added as the story progresses, and I like how it all tied together. Guthrie and Thea’s romance plays out softly and sweetly. Aimee is seeking answers on her birth parents and she gets so much more (I do not want to give away any spoilers). Nate Kenton and Warner Gray provide humor to the story. Both men are seeking wives and women are scarce in their area. I liked that the author gave many of the females in the story occupations and strong voices. I was very happy that A Tender Hope was not a typical historical romance. There is mystery, suspense and action along with family, friendship, love, and faith. A Tender Hope has a satisfying conclusion that will leave readers smiling.
