An endearing and entertaining story of grace! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love a book which shows an example of God’s unwavering grace….and this is such a book! The Cowboy’s Secret Past is an enjoyable (LOL at times) story. Author Tina Radcliffe’s writing always touches my heart with a challenging dilemma, then comforting hope as the situation resolves through faith and forgiveness. Her trademark humor and endearing characters give me smiles throughout the pages.The Morgan brothers of the Lazy M Ranch have enchanted my heart with their compassionate and selfless personalities. Trevor, the cowboy in this third book, has made some mistakes. Reformed and faithful, he now must face past issues. And Hope Burke, his grandfather’s new no-nonsense nurse, is the woman who comes along to make him confront his errors….including recognizing the need to be vulnerable and to be open to love again. And can Trevor convince Hope she and her young nephew belong in Homestead Pass, Oklahoma?Along with this memorable story, I especially liked the additional characters. Bess Lowder, ranch housekeeper and cook extraordinaire (cinnamon rolls, anyone?) adds charm and humor to the story. Gramps, the Morgan patriarch Gus, is grumpy, but in a funny way, and lovingly offers wisdom to his family. Patch, the puppy, is adorable. And young Cole touches our emotions as he deals with his losses and enthusiastically embraces hard work on the ranch. Cameo appearances by the other Morgan brothers adds to the warmth of real life family ties.If you like meaningful stories of strong family bonds with engaging characters living their faith every day plus tender happily-ever-after endings, this is the book for you. I highly recommend The Cowboy’s Secret Past …or all the books….by author Tina Radcliffe.Favorite quotes:“We’ve all got history.” Hope shrugged. “It’s about how that history makes us or breaks us and dictates our tomorrows.”“The most important thing is that I’m doing what the Lord put in my heart….. All you have to do is trust that He will equip you for the job He called you to do.”*I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

    Tina Radcliffe is my favorite cowboy writing author. She always gets the dynamics between personal life and ranch life just right. The Cowboy's Secret Past is a winner!

    The Lazy M Ranch in Homestead Pass, Oklahoma is the setting and home to the four Morgan brothers, Drew, Sam, Trevor and Lucas.

    The Cowboy's Secret Past is a great story about rodeo cowboy Trevor. He led a wild drinking lifestyle in the past but has been sober and retired from rodeoing for seven years. He's back at home running the family ranch and living a quiet faith filled life. But the past can sometimes come back to haunt a person, and that may be the case in this situation as concerned aunt Hope searches for the identity of her nephew Cole's father.

    I enjoyed having a ringside seat to the wariness and compromises made between Trevor and Hope as they try to do what's best for Cole while seeking the truth. They may find more than either of them could have imagined. Young Cole is at times a scene stealer with his search for identity and a place to belong.

    The story has some interesting characters, from the Morgan brothers to Gramps and housekeeper and cook Bess, right down to vulnerable and needy young Cole himself.

    The Cowboy's Secret Past will entertain readers as they walk this unknown path with Trevor and Hope on the way to their happy ever after. I am looking forward to the fourth installment of the Lazy M Ranch series, The Cowboy's Forgotten Love releasing in November. It can't come soon enough for me!

    What a delight to return to the Lazy M ranch for another wonderful book by talented Author Tina Radcliffe. The Cowboy's Secret Past had me roped (pun intended!) from the beginning, and I thoroughly enjoyed this heart-tugging story that features Trevor, Hope, and Cole, a precious boy who longs for a father, along with members of the Morgan family (including Gus, the grandpa who is wise and lovable) and Bess, the cinnamon-roll baking housekeeper. These characters are so believable, and at times I found myself wishing I could adopt Cole (and his cute dog, Patch!). I will likely be re-reading this book - - that's how much I enjoyed it! FIVE STARS!!

    A motherless child, a concerned but loving aunt, and a closed-off, crabby cowboy make for an endearing story. I recommend this enjoyable read by Tina Radcliffe.

    Trevor Morgan has a secret that very few know about, but he's come a full 360º from that secret. What matters most to him is his family and helping others. When Nurse Hope Burke enters the picture, Trevor does not know that she comes with a secret of her own. Between their secrets and their backgrounds, Trevor and Hope have much to work through to do what is best for one very special little boy named Cole.

    This is an endearing story of overcoming one's past and opening up to second chances and new beginnings. The characters were so realistic that it made me feel like I was right there with them. The secondary characters, which included a wonderful little boy and some cute and playful dogs, as well as all of the others, added much to Trevor and Hope's story without overshadowing them. It is a story that was a complete joy to read.

    Book Quote:
    "Don't discount the hand the good Lord plays in our lives. There's a bigger plan... We make plans, and the Lord laughs and offers a better way. A way we couldn't even see because sometimes, we can't get out of our own way... My advice to you is to stay open to detours. We get so fixed on the map that we miss what's right in front of us."

    Enjoyed this inspiring and slow-simmering romance (Book 3 in the Lazy M Ranch series) between Trevor Morgan and home health nurse Hope Burke, who had come to the ranch to assist Trevor’s grandfather with post-operative health care. Both had independent streaks and reasons for wanting to maintain distance and it was fun seeing the slow thaw take place as they got to know each other and realize they had more in common than previously thought. Gramps (Gus) was a hoot as usual, and Hope’s nephew Cole was so sweet and beloved by everyone he met. While I have read Books 2 and 3, I have not yet read the first book and feel these could probably be read as stand alones. Still, it’s fun revisiting the characters in earlier books. Looking forward to reading Lucas’ story next!

    I received a complimentary copy from the author as part of a giveaway. I was not required to write a review and these are my honest opinions.
