More from Renae

Lassoed by the Lawman is the third and final book in the Texas Rangers Series, and I honestly think it’s my favorite book of the series. The main characters, Juliana and Cody, are loosely based on me and my husband, Rick. We’re both creatives, we both love music, and we both try to balance our love for creativity with our need to actually make a living! Our shared love of music initially drew us to each other.

Like Cody, Rick is rugged and masculine, and he melted my heart the first time I heard him sing. As a matter of fact, during our courtship, we often wrote songs together. One of the songs Cody sings to Juliana in the book is actually a song Rick wrote for me. (Sigh.)

The attraction Cody and Juliana feel for each other is both white-hot and pure… the kind of passion God wants husbands and wives to experience. It’s the kind of passion Christ has for us, his bride. As I worked on these pages, I giggled at times, blushed at times, and grinned with mischief always.

Through hardship and heartache, Juliana and Cody find joy. And through hardship and heartache, God wants us to find joy, too…the joy of an abundant life in Christ. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. As a bonus, here’s a link to a song Rick and I wrote and recorded for each other. It’s not the song from the book, but it’s pretty special to us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDjVxp2m5

God bless, and happy reading!

My Thoughts

Lassoed by the Lawman is the third book Renae Brumbaugh Green's The Texas Rangers series. I personally had not read the previous books in this series, and found that it read well as a standalone.

This story drew me in right from the start as we were introduced to our hero Cody in the perfect RomCom type of scenario. I couldn't help but smile, and found myself doing so again and again throughout the story. It definitely had that sort of RomCom feel to the story--- just set in the 1800s Texas! Juliana's character was just as well written and I couldn't help but be drawn into these two characters. I wanted to get to know them each better and I so enjoyed watching their romance grow.

While I enjoyed the romance, it wasn't the only thing going for it. It was a rather fast paced story, with a perfect blend of adventure... which is something I expect from a good cowboy type of story. It also has beautiful messages of faith weaved throughout the story as well.

Overall, a sweet read and one that fans of sweet cowboy romances are sure to enjoy!
