    This is my first book by Margaret Daley, I've seen her other books that she has published through the "Love Inspired" series, but none of those really caught my eye. This book, however, screamed at me,

    "Rick, you have to read this book, it's about the MEN of the Texas Rangers!" Now, as you know, I'm doing these reviews from a "man's perspective" and that works out well, because I'm a man. And what better kind of book for a man to review than a book about the tough Texas Rangers!

    Texas Ranger Wyatt Sheridan has settled into a good life in Texas. It's been 8 years since his wife was killed, so he shares the ranch with his mother and his teenage daughter, Maddie. Wyatt has a decent relationship with Maddie, they both love to ride their horses, but lately a wall has started building between them. His mother, on the other hand, is finished off with husband #3 and watching out for #4. It seems there are times when she's more of a hand ful then Maddie. Kate Winslow is the director of the Beacon of Hope School that assists teenage girls through court appointed intervention. She comes from the Winslow family of old money, but only the kind that donates, not the kind that actually gets in the trenches and makes a difference. This causes alot of friction between her and her mother as Kate wants to help these lost girls personally, not from a distance. First a van is stolen at the school and a girl goes missing, then another is killed after she left the school with her suspected pimp. Now, Kate's funding has been pulled from the Winslow Foundation. Will she have to close the school and turn the girls out? Can Wyatt help find the missing girl, is she even still alive? You know the rest, you'll have to read the book to find out :)

    This was a tough sell for me. I've grown up with blinders on and find it uncomfortable to think that we live in society that could and would treat children, treat other humans, as these sex traffickers do. This story, though, paints a picture of what is happening daily around the world, and right here in the United States. The author has a page on her website specifically devoted to why she decided to write about this subject, check it out: Why I Wrote Saving Hope. The characters in this book, specifically the girls from Beacon of Hope all called out to me in desparation. These are teens who want a different life, who are searching for the missing piece. Margaret does a good job of displaying the faith of Kate, I truly wish she had done more to showcase it in dealing with the girls of Beacon of Hope. Their "missing" piece is a relationship with Him and He is the only one that can fill that void.

    So is this a "man's book"? Most definitely yes. There is plenty of suspense, intrique and danger through out this book. The plot is very well defined and I'm sure that we can all see ourselves in the character of Wyatt.

    I read this book in a matter of hours. Suspense. You want to know what is happening with the characters. You also see life lessons for both parents and teens who need to communicate.

    I love reading publishers descriptions and reviews of books. But I am getting a little disappointed. When I read some reviews, there is no need to purchase the book. They tell you the entire story. So this is my review. My mother loves this author because her books are good but in my case I think a little short and not a lot of real depth. This book totally took me by surprise in the best way. It was a great thriller. The story line was great with wonderful infornation about things that are really happening that so many of us close our eyes to. Even though it covered serious issues it was very enjoyable and entertaining to read. That is why I read. Every character was well developed and believable. The romance was not over the edge, just enough for me to enjoy. I say, buy it. I hope the rest if this series is as good because as soon as I see the next book, I am purchasing it.

Her mom is not happy about it and when things start to go wrong at the school her mom who controls the funding for the school pulls it. Kate as to deal with the disappearance of one of the girls the death of another and the attempted suicide of a 3rd. The disappearance of the one girl ends up getting the Texas Rangers involved and soon Wyatt finds himself becoming found of Kate. He is also dealing with being a single parent to his 14 year old daughter. Will Kate and Wyatt find the leaders of the prostitution ring and save the girl as well as find love together? Read this great suspense romance to find out.

    What I liked: I really enjoyed this book. Even though the subject and story line was in-depth it was very well written. I really liked Kate and felt bad that her mom did not see what a great thing her daughter was doing. Wyatt came across as a man still dealing with his wife's murder and also struggling to raise his 14 year old daughter. The characters where very real and likeable. The storyline kept me interested and turning pages as fast as I could.

    What I did not like: There was not much I did not like. The subject of prostitution was kind of deep but the book was so well written and it was very eye opening to what it could be like.
