Lone Star Ranger #1
A Ranger To Ride With
Nathaniel Stewart's life changes in the blink of an eye when his family is murdered by a band of marauding raiders. They've made one terrible mistake...they didn't finish the job. Fourteen-year-old Nathaniel is very much alive and ready to exact the justice his mother, father, and older brother deserve. Taken in by a company of Texas Rangers, he begins to learn what it means to survive in the rugged wilds of Texas. Each of the Rangers have something to teach Nate, as they come to call him, and he's a fast learner. When some of the same raiders later return, Nate proves his mettle when he saves the Rangers from being ambushed and wiped out. A RANGER TO RIDE WITH is the first story in the new western series, LONE STAR RANGER. Look for A RANGER TO RECKON WITH, coming soon!

A Ranger to Ride With is an origin story of Nate Stewart, or the beginning of an origin story. After tragedy hits Nate joins up with the Texas Rangers. The Rangers teach Nate about shooting, riding, and everything else needed to bring justice to the land. I really enjoyed the details of his training; it’s something that is glossed over in other Westerns. I expected a little more plot though. The story is wrote more like the beginning chapters of a novel rather than a fast paced short story. I suppose a good way to view this book is to consider it the first episode of a series. The Rangers in the story are well written and give you the sense that they are a close family, which is how I expect it was. They do seem overly friendly and kindhearted but that fits with the traditional western style. The good guys are the best of the best and the bad guys are the worse they come; there is no grey area or anti-hero types here. I’m looking forward to reading the next instalment of this series.

Good story
A coming of age story, where he needs to grow up fast. This first story is well written and sounds true to life.

Lost in the west
A good book to take you from the world we live in today to a time when good men stood for what was right and didn't worry about political correctness
