BOOK REVIEW- THE WREN by Kristy McCaffrey

Captured by Comanche as a child, Molly Hart was assumed dead. Ten years later, Texas Ranger Matt Ryan finds a woman with the same blue eyes.
Ten years have passed since Molly Hart’s ranch was attacked, her folks murdered and she was abducted. Now, at nineteen, she’s finally returning home to North Texas after spending the remainder of her childhood with a tribe of Kwahadi Comanche. What she finds is a deserted home coated with dust and the passage of time, the chilling discovery of her own gravesite, and the presence of a man she thought never to see again.

Matt Ryan is pushed by a restless wind to the broken-down remains of the Hart ranch. Recently recovered from an imprisonment that nearly ended his life, the drive for truth and fairness has all but abandoned him. For ten years he faithfully served the U.S. Army and the Texas Rangers, seeking justice for the brutal murder of a little girl, only to find closure and healing beyond his grasp. Returning to the place where it all began, he’s stunned to encounter a woman with the same blue eyes as the child he can’t put out of his mind.
A sensual historical western romance set in 1877 Texas.  AMAZON  4 stars


Great main characters, with a bit of a different kind of plot.  I enjoyed all of this emotional story.  But don't be afraid to read it thinking that its all about emotion because it also has plenty of action and some mysteries too.   There is a twist or two as well; it kept the story interesting. 

It was also interesting that at least 3 people in the story had quite a lot of suffering and even some of it is physical suffering ones as well.  That would be of course Molly, Matt and his friend, Nathan Blackmore.   There is one other person who who qualifies for overcoming some serious challenges.  Claire is a young woman that Molly befriends and she has her story in another book as does Nathan.  

This is a book that I've wanted to read for quite a while and I was not disappointed in it.
