Thunder and Rain

A Novel

By: Charles Martin

Narrated by: Daniel May, Luci Christian Bell

As a result of his hard exterior and lonely tendencies, Tyler Steele finds himself a single father alone in the world - until a stranger and her daughter show up and change his life.
Third generation Texas Ranger Tyler Steele is the last of a dying breed-- a modern day cowboy hero living in a world that doesn't quite understand his powerful sense of right and wrong and instinct to defend those who can't defend themselves. Despite his strong moral compass, Ty has trouble seeing his greatest weakness. His hard outer shell, the one essential to his work, made him incapable of forging the emotional connection his wife Andie so desperately needed.

Now retired, rasing their son Brodie on his own, and at risk of losing his ranch, Ty does not know how to rebuild from the rubble of his life. The answer comes in the form of Samantha and her daughter Hope, on the run from a seemingly inescapable situation. They are in danger, desperate, and alone. Though they are strangers, Ty knows he can help-- protecting the innocent is what he does best. As his relationship with Sam and Hope unfolds, Ty realizes he must confront his true weaknesses if he wants to become the man he needs to be.

Worth the listen.

Nice but ...

I’ve listened to a few of his books now, and this one is enjoyable, but it feels like the perspective of the little girl is superfluous. Most of her parts could have been deleted, and the story would have been stronger.

Very nice

This is a very good book but there is to know that it has some situations that are not for children and kind of thought to hear the narrator is wonderful the author went on describing everything to the t and that to be honest makes you turn desperate

Best Cowboy Book I've Ever Read!

As usual Mr. Martin uses a lot of imagery to engage and inspire his audience.

Good Read!

Honestly, I have decided to read all of Mr. Martins writings. So far I've enjoyed 3 . After the first one, I was hooked.
