Cathy Gillen Thacker has written an alluring story that is emotional and sweet. Lone Star Baby is the story of two doctors that are faced with the surprising task of becoming the guardians of an orphaned newborn. What I liked about the story is that Baby Ava's arrival caused Violet and Gavin to take hard looks at their life and examine choices they had made and events experienced. Maybe life has a bigger plan for the both of them. Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Liked the story but it was lacking something. Did not enjoy it as much as her previous novels.
