He’s not the same man he was

But maybe now he’s ready to be a father

Since leaving his wild rodeo days behind, rancher Trevor Morgan has sobered up and built a faith-filled life. So he’s shocked when the woman caring for his grandfather intrudes on that solitude. Nurse Hope Burke has hidden motives for coming to the Lazy M Ranch—she believes Trevor is the father of her orphaned nephew. Can a loving aunt and a wary cowboy change a little boy’s life forever?

From Love Inspired: Uplifting stories of faith, forgiveness and hope.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Cowboy's Secret Past by Tina Radcliffe~ Loved it! 5 stars!

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!!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE COWBOY’S SECRET PAST by Tina Radcliffe
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2024
THE COWBOY’S SECRET PAST by Tina Radcliffe is the third book in the Lazy M Ranch series. It’s the heart-tugging, inspirational story of Trevor Morgan, ranch manager, and Hope Burke, home health nurse. Their first meeting was less than amicable, but the feelings for one 10-year-old boy and one elderly patient manage to change that to friendship and maybe a little bit more.

Trevor’s life has been in some sort of holding pattern, for the past seven years, since his wife died. Running the Lazy M Ranch had become more of a habit with a few minor blips on the radar when something went sightly off track. However, this recent event of Gramps having a hip replacement meant lots of changes. With his brothers going on a long-planned vacation and Bess Lowder, their long-time housekeeper and cook, going to see her family and that new grandbaby, Trevor had felt the need to hire a home health nurse to help keep things on the home front running smoothly. What he hadn’t expected was for this pretty young woman to arrive, disrupt things from the way they were and immediately bring so many of his emotions back to life.

Hope’s life has sure been anything but idyllic. She was young when her mother died and then her father re-married quickly giving her an unloving step-mother and a younger step-sister. After her father died, when she was 18, she’s been on her own. Her step-sister’s life seemed to yo-yo from spells of disappearance to showing up in need of money or asking for help, including leaving Cole, her son, with her for long periods of time. After his mother’s death, Hope became Cole’s guardian and anchor for hopefully a more stable life. Living in Oklahoma City, she is a nurse out of the Elk City home health office. After finding Cole’s birth certificate listing Trevor Morgan as his father, she had asked to be transferred temporarily to the Homestead Pass office in order to find out more about this man. Her goal was to find out if he was worthy of knowing he had a son. She wasn’t going to disrupt Cole’s life again if he wasn’t. Little did she know that her first nursing assignment would be to work for this same Trevor’s grandfather and his rehabilitation.

When Trevor first met Cole, he felt an immediate connection with the boy having had gone through a similar situation of his parents dying when he was young and how lost he had felt. Could that connection be more than any of them realizes? Can Trevor use the ranch to help Cole the way it helped him a few years back? Could Trevor have gotten things off on the wrong foot with his false first impression of Hope? Knowing she had bills to pay and your job depends on her fulfilling this job, can she stay away from the grumpy cowboy and do her job? When Hope proves she’s good at what she does and wins the hearts of everyone in the family, including Gramps, will it have Trevor seeing the woman in front of him for the skilled nurse and the great woman she is? When Hope peels back the grumpy and starts to see the man behind those eyes and that elusive smile, can she keep her heart in check? When Cole turns from a 10-year-old boy into a hard-working, fine young man, whose buttons will burst the most – Trevor’s or Hope’s? Can a paternity test prove any more than true feelings? Can Trevor open his heart again? Can hope realize that she can’t always control things in life?

THE COWBOY’S SECRET PAST is an amazingly well-written story that will keep you turning pages, falling in love with the characters and have you opening up your heart to one little boy who just wants to be loved and for once, to get what he wants – a place to call home. Tina Radcliffe keeps entertaining us with the fabulous stories of the Morgan family in the Lazy M Ranch series, while making sure each story can be read as a standalone book. Just when you think this series can’t get any better, Tina brings us THE COWBOY’S SECRET PAST with Trevor Morgan’s story. The only sad thing about this book is not being able to give it ten stars. However, I can most definitely state - it is FIVE STAR reading that I highly recommend to everyone that loves a clean read, a phenomenal and inspirational story of family and love all wrapped in a magnificent thread of faith that will not only entertain you, but will pull you in as you hope for a happily ever after. Believe me, you won’t be disappointed!

I receive an ARC of this book with no requirement or expectations of a review. All opinions are completely my own.

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2024
This is book 3 in a series but can easily be read as a standalone. I really liked the family dynamics in this story about forgiveness, faith, hope and love. I always enjoy Love Inspired stories, they are novella length (around 200 pages), can generally be read in one day and always end on an uplifting note.
