Hope Reborn

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2018

I must confess I have a weakness for stories about Texas. I lived in the D/FW area for many years, and it still holds a huge piece of my heart.

Caryl McAdoo writes a delightful story about Patrick “Henry” Buckmeyer, Texas Ranger extraordinaire and his family, and about an author of dime novels, May Meriwether. However, May has many secrets. Secrets she’d rather stay that way, but a certain Texas Ranger may “tickle” the truth out of her.

One of my favorite characters was May’s friend Chester. Chester acts as chaperone, helper and friend to May. He also helps guide her through life, something she needs as a single woman in the 18800s. But the thing I enjoy most about Chester…he knows May better than she knows herself and can get in those little zingers that only someone who really knows and cares about you could or would be allowed to do.

Hope Reborn has a very distinct and constant theme of Christianity and makes no apologies for it, either. Part of the storyline deals with the strong faith of many of the characters and the lack of faith on the part of an individual essential to the narrative. I appreciate McAdoo’s handling of the situation and its resolution.

I enjoyed reading Hope Reborn and getting reacquainted with the Buckmeyers, Baylors and Wheelers. I have always relished reading stories that follow a family, or in this case families, and continue throughout several books.

Caryl McAdoo wrote this story several years ago. I read it at the time, then read the others in the series. I had the chance to reread it and review it, so I jumped at the opportunity.

Hope Reborn #3 Texas Romance by Caryl McAdoo

May Meriwether decided long ago what life has in store for her but she soon gets a surprise when she travels to Texas. It was fun to watch as she struggles to keep those expectations the way she always known them to be. And then there is the secret. Chester is one of my favorite characters in the story. I like the way he looks out for May and cares for her.

Patrick Henry Buckmeyer is another favorite character. Henry is a true Texan gentleman in every way and a hero that May soon finds almost irresistible. There is more than her closely guarded secret keeping them apart. I love the way Henry seeks God in all things, even in love and waits for His guidance and shares his faith with May. I appreciate the inspirational elements woven within the story-line and the strong faith that many of the characters have. Strong relatable characters, forgiveness, hope, love and faith bring this heartwarming story to life.

WAITING UPON THE LORD

I love series books and A Texas Romance series is full of mystery, suspense, twist, turns, forgiveness, redemption and love. Hope Reborn finds the patriarch, Patrick Henry Buckmeyer, raising his family after the death of his beloved wife Sue after the birth of their son. We meet Millicent May Meriwether, a novelist of fictional romance books. She has traveled from New York to Texas to interview Levi Baylor and Wallace Rusk, Texas Rangers. What a shock to meet Henry Buckmeyer, and basically it is love at first site for both of them. Henry is a man of God and strong faith, he believes in the Bible and honoring God's word. May is agnostic, and scoffs at the fairy tales people insist upon believing about a deity in the sky that is all controlling.

The story kept me captivated as Henry and May become friends and talk about the future. The dialogue is entertaining and heartwarming. I admired Henry for sticking to his principles and not becoming unequally yoked and sharing God's love and forgiveness with May in the most loving way. The Buckmeyer children and May develop a sweet and loving relationship and she loves them as a mother. The story does have a cliffhanger for the next book. Disclosure: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thougths, opinions and ratings are my own.

The Journey Continues

This is an AUDIBLE REVIEW All I want to say is this series is amazing. Truly I am so anxious to get through each one, but then again I do not want it to ever end. Plus I want to be a part of this amazing family. With Caryl's written words and the narration of Lisa Baarns I am pulled into the story and it is real.
This is May and Henry's story and how both found love, although it is a journey. I was not a fan of May's at first with her disbelief and secrets. But as she opened up, and yes it took awhile, she became more likable.
Of course Henry Buckmeyer is larger than life and I love this man.
I cannot wait for this next in this saga!

n absolutely lovely story, heartwarming, with sympathetic characters, a great plot and setting, and great storytelling on the whole.
Although I think there were some inconsistencies, and my gut feeling is that some dialogues and/or incidents could not have happened this way in this time period, it was soon overlooked thanks to the great quirky characters, and the narration with a lot of subtle humour.
I had the feeling that some sentences were missing a word or two, but then again, the author might have tried to put the local way of speaking, or the one of that time period in it, which I most likely just wouldn't have understood.
This is the third book in a series, and the author managed to get just enough of the contents of the first two in here, so that a reader could understand nuances of what was going on, and why, without this being a rehash of the other books - well done indeed.
On the whole, despite some minor issues I had with this book, I absolutely loved it, and just have to get my hands on the first two in this series, and definitely on more book of this author.
Thank you for some great reading time.

A bit too descriptive in some passages, for my taste. In others, not enough. Apart from that, like the characters, the story, the way things not always perfect, and the values.
