meezcarrie's review against another edition
4.0
I’ve been curious about infamous outlaw Tex Beckett ever since reading his twin brother Tate’s story in The Outlaw’s Secret. He did not disappoint! In some ways The Renegade's Redemption is a prequel; in other ways it’s a companion story. In all ways, it’s an excellent read!
(You don’t have to read The Outlaw’s Secret first – you can easily read it after The Renegade’s Redemption instead. But do go back and read it at some point if you haven’t already!)
Tex’s journey is riddled with bad choices but his brush with death leads him home in more ways than one. When he finally gets one on one with God, the sincerity and sacredness of the moment will touch your heart. Ravena’s struggle is more of trust – trusting God and learning to trust Tex again. Her grandfather’s legacy of faith and wisdom continues to remind her of what’s important, and I loved how Tex’s own memories of Ezra gave him the same assurances.
“Remember that the Lord has got this in His hands, Ravena. He’s got you.”
I fell in love with Fanny, one of the adorable orphans that Ravena has taken in. Her sweet giggles, her acceptance of Tex, her childlike faith. All of the children are very well-written and layered, but Fanny is my favorite!
Bottom Line: Vivid characters with lots of personality join forces with swoony romance, adorable children, and a heartfelt message of redemption and restoration. Stacy Henrie is skilled at knowing the right combination of each of those elements to achieve a ‘just right’ balance and a smooth story. If you’re a fan of stories set in the late 1800s West then you need to definitely make time to read Stacy Henrie’s books as well!
(I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book)
