Lonestar Secrets - Review

I received Lonestar Secrets by Colleen Coble from Thomas Nelson Publishing.
I have to admit, I have never read a “Christian / Fiction / Romance” book before, but I was very impressed! I actually did not even realize that was the book category until I was finished!

The book Synopses, as found on Colleen Coble’s website, states:

Shannon Astor returns to southwest Texas to serve as the town’s veterinarian, believing she’s finally found the space to get her life back on track. Then she catches a glimpse of Jack MacGowan, the man who ruined her life years before. But even more shocking is the sight of Jack’s five-year-old daughter Faith, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Shannon’s own daughter Kylie. Is it possible that their similarities could be more than just coincidence? Could Faith be the daughter that Shannon has believed to be dead for all these years? As the truth emerges, everyone is forced to take sides–in a story with a heart as big as Texas.
From the moment I read the first line, I was hooked!
This book is really hard to put down and keeps you wanting to finish it in one sitting.
The first chapter introduces you to Shannon and her daughter, Kylie. They are headed to “the place she’d sworn never to set foot in again.” That one line there starts the journey in this book. Where is she going? Why is she going back?
You then meet Mary Beth, her best friend that is in trouble.
This book is filled with suspense and has you clinging to the page wondering what is going to happen next. The secrets that Shannon has to deal with seem to be never ending, but then again, who can you trust?
I really enjoyed reading this book and I know now that I will be reading more from this particular author! Little did I know, but this is the second in the Lonestar series.
Although you do not need to read the first in order to know what is going on, I plan on reading it anyway. I can not wait for the third one to come out!

(I recieved this book as one to review for Thomas Nelson Book Review Bloggers. The opinion stated above is mine and does not reflect anyone else. )
