Texas Ranger Dad

Debra Clopton has proven with the previous 9 books in this series,that she most certainly can write entertaining banter between the hero and heroine. I loved every one of these books,and Texas Ranger Dad is no exception. It is different, much more serious,but I still couldn't put it down,until I was finished,and I enjoyed it very much. I love how well she develops her characters,and makes us care about them. If you haven't read any of the Mule Hollow Matchmaker books,and you enjoy a touch of humor with your romance,I highly recommend this entire series.

It doesn't surprise me that I finished this book in less than two days. Every single one in this series is that good. She is an amazing writer, one I aspire to write like. She really has all the elements for a truly great story. I can't wait for the next to come out. She can't write them fast enough for me, but I appreciate that she doesn't rush it and compromise her writing/story because of it.

What a great author! My daughter (14) and I both just love all of the Debra Clopton books. You'll find yourself laughing out loud!

I thoroughly enjoyed returning to Mule Hollow. Not only is it like coming home, I've had the pleasure of meeting new characters. Some might say the "secret baby" element has been done to death, but rarely is it done with this much honesty. I liked the story a lot.

Rose Vincent has led a hard life. She's been through it all--seeing a murder, witness protection, then getting stuck with a wife beater for a husband, living in shelters and moving she and her son all over the country just to stay hidden. Now her life is finally on track and an idea for a better life for she and her son. Just when everything is going well an old flame comes back into her life and she isn't exactly pleased to see him. Zane walked out on her without even saying goodbye 14 years ago, leaving her pregnant and on her own at a time when she was terrified. Zane has finally realized he has to make up for his past mistakes where Rose is concerned. He tracks her down to a little town in Texas. Now all he has to do is convince her to forgive him and the two of them can go on and live happily ever after. He should have known it wouldn't be that easy. Then he gets the shock of his life. Not only is Rose much more stubborn then he remembered her to be, but he also has a son. Debra writes a good storyline, but frankly this story has been done to death. The best thing she has going however is the secondary characters. This is a continuation of her Mule Hollow series and the supporting cast are all back with helpful advise. One of the things l liked best about this story is that even with the theme of the story being about matchmakers, the group of ladies that make up the matchmaking team decided that they shouldn't do anything because they were asked not to. Zane and Rose made a nice pair, as well, even though they had a lot issues between them to work out. I really like the author's writing style and the town setting and the added characters gives new life to a well used subject matter.
