About this audiobook
In the quiet safety of the Bluebird Ranch, old promises resurface and unexpected love brings new hope.
Though tragedy has wrecked her life, Allie Siders holds on to the hope that her five-year-old daughter, Betsy, will speak again. But with a stalker out for revenge, all Allie can think about now is their safety. She must sever all ties and abandon life as she knows it. She heads to the peaceful Bluebird Ranch, nestled deep in Texas hill country, and to the only person who can help them.
The ranch is a sanctuary for abused horses, and also for troubled youths: the perfect place for Betsy to grow and recover. Ranch owner Elijah DeAngelo eagerly welcomes the duo. But Rick Bailey—the ranch foreman and DeAngelo's right hand man—hasn't decided to let his guard down . . . yet.
Promises made long ago soon force Rick and Allie to work together to escape danger. Will they discover love along the way?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I've been excited about Lonestar Sanctuary for weeks and when I finally started reading, I was a goner! The author brings together some of my favorite elements for a great story; suspense, mystery, romance, the tough-but-tortured-soul-cowboy with a troubled past, a bonafide Rodeo Queen, and so much more! Having recently lost her parents and her husband in separate incidents, Allie's had more than her fair share of grief. Now she's on the run from a deadly stalker...with her five-year-old traumatized daughter...seeking guidance and safety on the Bluebird Ranch. Rick Bailey, the ranch foreman, isn't sure what to think of Allie. Not one to easily trust strangers (even the pretty ones) he thinks she's out to take advantage of Elijah's good nature. It took me a little while to warm up to Rick, but as his story came out I grew to understand why he was a bit of a jerk in the beginning. Overall the story is a fast read (maybe a little rushed at times), easy to follow, and perhaps a bit predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless. I would've loved the book to be a little longer with more attention spent on character development and interpersonal relationships, especially the relationships between the young teens and the adults. I just didn't feel as much emotion from the characters as I normally do from a Colleen Coble book, which is why my rating is four stars. It's still a very good book.If you are a romantic suspense fan or enjoy western romance, definitely check out Lonestar Sanctuary! I'll be moving on to Lonestar Secrets very soon!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This book is a hot mess. There's way too much going on with no sense of direction or purpose. I was confused and annoyed the whole time I was reading. DNF after 160 pages.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book was okay for a random buy at the dollar store but I didn't entirely fall inlove with it and reminded me too much of other books I have read I prefer books that are completely of their own and don't make you feel like you have read this before.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5So bad it was awful! and totally predictable and cliche. Don't know why anyone gave it a higher rating. Annoying perfect heroine is surrounded by death, hightails with daughter to her unknown grandfather where by some totally weird coincidence her dead husband's best friend is also there. Ridiculous plot, she has to marry him, he has to trust her, she has to forgive his drinking and the fact that he was drunk when her husband died (!) and then after even more death, where really there is no one left, the totally obvious killer reveals himself. Am going to delete it and never think about it again!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Lonestar Sanctuary is an easy read -- a clean romance with just enough twists and turns and suspense to keep you reading. Allie and her daughter, Betsy, flee to a ranch (and her late husband's friend) when an attempt is made on her life. As they try to figure out who is after her, they must also deal with her in-laws' desire to gain custody of Betsy, try to get Betsy talking again, and deal with a marriage of convenience.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this book! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I loved the characters because they were so real and the dialog really held my interest. I highly recommend this book. Colleen never disappoints in bringing a great story to her readers.
