Thunder and Rain

A Novel

By: Charles Martin

Narrated by: Daniel May, Luci Christian Bell

As a result of his hard exterior and lonely tendencies, Tyler Steele finds himself a single father alone in the world - until a stranger and her daughter show up and change his life.
Third generation Texas Ranger Tyler Steele is the last of a dying breed-- a modern day cowboy hero living in a world that doesn't quite understand his powerful sense of right and wrong and instinct to defend those who can't defend themselves. Despite his strong moral compass, Ty has trouble seeing his greatest weakness. His hard outer shell, the one essential to his work, made him incapable of forging the emotional connection his wife Andie so desperately needed.

Now retired, rasing their son Brodie on his own, and at risk of losing his ranch, Ty does not know how to rebuild from the rubble of his life. The answer comes in the form of Samantha and her daughter Hope, on the run from a seemingly inescapable situation. They are in danger, desperate, and alone. Though they are strangers, Ty knows he can help-- protecting the innocent is what he does best. As his relationship with Sam and Hope unfolds, Ty realizes he must confront his true weaknesses if he wants to become the man he needs to be.

Powerful!

This is the classic struggle between good and evil and includes a John Wayne type character who, I believe, still exists in some places.

Love

I just love Charles Martin and his style. His analogies and descriptions are beautiful and thought provoking.

Good book

I was expecting more of a mystery thriller. I found this to be more of a love story. But being from Texas, I enjoyed this book. It makes you laugh, cry & pull for the characters. It’s a good book

Texas Big

The man has words, you will find yourself in them. Believe audible listening is the only way with this Read, and one big box of Tissues, to soak it up with, God are you listening?

Loved it!

OMGOSH I love this author! Never disappoints. Can’t wait until his next book comes out in October because I’ve read them all!
