If there's one thing Gillian Hodge never wants to see again, it's a man on a motorcycle. Her last encounter with one left her right hand crushed, ending her promising career as a concert pianist. But as she heads to Rainbow's End Resort, a sudden thunderstorm causes a motorcycle to crash in front of her.

When TJ Benjamin's wife died, he lost more than his best friend; he lost his faith. He's spent the past year wandering the country on a motorcycle, trying not to think about his future. When he finds himself stranded with a busted bike and a reluctant rescuer, he has to wonder about God's sense of humor.

Can this woman without a future and this man running from his past find romance in the present? Or are they too tied to the way life used to be?

From the Back Cover

A woman without a future. A man running from the past.
One enchanting place where broken dreams are mended.

If there's one thing Gillian Hodge never wants to see again, it's a man on a motorcycle. Her last encounter with one left her right hand crushed, ending her promising career as a concert pianist. Unsure about the next phase in her life, she heads to Rainbow's End Resort for some R&R when a sudden thunderstorm causes a motorcycle to crash right in front of her.

When TJ Benjamin's wife died, he lost more than his best friend; he lost his faith. He has spent the past year wandering the country on his motorcycle, trying not to think about the future. When he finds himself stranded with a busted bike and a reluctant rescuer, he has to wonder about God's sense of humor.

As these broken people collide, they find that a bright future is still ahead--it just might not be the one they imagined for themselves.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

With both parents avid readers, it's no surprise that Amanda Cabot learned to read at an early age. From there it was only a small step to deciding to become a writer. Of course, deciding and becoming are two different things, as she soon discovered. Fortunately for the world, her first attempts at fiction, which included a play for her fifth grade class entitled "All About Thermometers," were not published, but she did meet her goal of selling a novel by her thirtieth birthday. Since then she's sold more than forty novels. When she's not writing, Amanda enjoys sewing, cooking and - of course - reading.

A motorcycle ended Gillian's career as a renown concert pianist. The irony that another motorcycle accident brings her face to face with a man trying to outrun his own tragedy is not lost on her. As circumstances force them to interact with each other, small step by small step God finds a way to heal them both.

An enjoyable tale of how TJ, a spontaneous traveling man who has lost his faith, his heart, and his relationship with God, finds it again, while Mike explores helping people by treading the tempting waters of becoming a political leader, and Gillian navigates a winding path in what used to be a well-planned out life. The author’s wonderful use of a potential love triangle makes the reader wonder right to the end which man she will choose to begin her new life with. Both are good men. Both have discovered that service to others is what they have been called to do. A refreshing book of hope and love without cynicism or betrayal. A perfect final book to the Texas Crossroads trilogy. I’ll miss not spending more time with the people of the fictional town of Dupree and the Rainbow’s End resort.

The final book in Texas Crossroads Trilogy, it is a wonderful story full of twists and turns. Amanda keeps the reader wondering if Gillian will pick the man we want her to or pick the one with so much to offer. While reading this book I felt as if I was there in the Texas Hill country along with Gillian. Amanda paints a picture with words that brings the reader into her books. She brings two people together who had had their lives changed to the point they would never be the same again and shows how they started to heal. TJ is complex with a lot of things that happened to him that changed him in so many ways even turning his back on God. Gillian lost her dream of being a concert pianist do to an accident. Neither of them were looking for love but they find love and TJ is brought back to God's family. Perfect ending. As always I could and will be reading this series again.

On Lone Star Trail is the third book of the Texas Crossroads series, and to my dismay, the last book set in Dupree, TX. I loved the characters featured in each of the books ( At Bluebonnet Lake (Texas Crossroads Book #1): A Novel  and  In Firefly Valley: A Novel (Texas Crossroads) ), but On Lone Star Trail resonated the deepest. Amanda Cabot redefines the expectations of character depth and development in Gillian and TJ - two normal people dealing with grief as well as they think they know how - peeling back layers of joy and sorrow in each character's life as situations warrant to help them realize God has a plan for each of us. As with all of Amanda's books, there are subplots interwoven throughout the book allowing the reader to invest in the entire community of characters, and come away with a sense of satisfaction that for a short time, you can be carried away to a different time and place.

I loved all 3 books in this series but was really drawn to TJ & Gillian's story in "On Lone Star Trail". Each of them had devastating circumstances happen in their lives. Watching the healing process they both had to go through while helping others was very inspirational. Learning to survive the past and find the open window God always provides is sometimes difficult, we need only to be open to what God plans are for us. He is a God of second chances!! I'll be praying that Amanda will be able continue TJ & Gillian's story in a new series! The potential is there for many more books!! Thanks Amanda for the deprived sleep last night it was well worth it!!

I came across this author purely by accident, if you believe in those. It was a difficult time in my life and the second book provided some relief for me. When I finished reading it, I decided to read the whole series. I'm glad I chose to. I just finished reading this, a helpful distraction from the heavy grieving the death of my father a couple of weeks ago has brought.

4.0 out of 5 stars sweet Texas Hill Country romance
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2017
Gillian Hodges is left reeling and lost after a motorcycle accident that ended her career as an award-winning concert pianist. After months of therapy, there is no recovering what she once had. Struggling at this crossroads in her life with her fire-breathing father on her case, she travels to take refuge with her friend, Kate, at Rainbow's End Resort in the Texas Hill Country town of Dupree. 

On the windy country backroads to the small town of Dupree, Gillian's worst fears are again realized as TJ Benjamin's red motorcycle collides with her vehicle and runs off the roadway. She takes TJ to Rainbow's End where Kate and her husband offer generous hospitality to TJ as he waits for repairs to his bike. In exchange, TJ is tasked with entertaining the kids living in Firefly Valley, victims of fire now living in an RV park. For TJ, the irony is obvious. A former teacher and "RV Reverand", he has spent the year traveling and fulfilling his late wife's bucket list after abandoning his faith. While forging bonds with the Firefly teens with Gillian's help, they slowly develop their own friendship. Gillian teaches the girls about makeup and fashion, and TJ works with the boys. They become adult confidants and role models for this group of teens.

Gillian and TJ aren't the only newcomers to town. Pete Darlington came to town with the construction crew helping build new apartments for the Firefly Valley residents. Mike Tarkett is a very influential man with strong family support and political aspirations from a nearby town. Both men have set their sights on two women in Dupree, creating two parallel love triangles. Firefly teens Todd and Brianna have a good thing going until Briana and Pete catch sight of one another. It's infatuation for one. Mike takes to Gillian from the moment he steps foot onto Rainbow End and whisks her into the socialite life she led before. For TJ, both of these budding relationships proves troublesome. He's grown to enjoy the companionship and discussions with Gillian, and he's looking out for Brianna.

While she grapples with where to go from here, Gillian finds she is good at helping others: Brianna and the girls from Firefly Valley, the local bookstore owner needing additional help, and listening to the senior citizens of the town. Gillian decides to do something more permanent in Dupree by starting a senior center. TJ accepts the temporary teaching position at the high school. Mike sets his sights on becoming the mayor of his city. Things become more complicated as Gillian and Mike's relationship progresses, and Gillian and TJ's friendship hits the rocks.

Gillian and TJ are both in the same place, staggering to find their next step in life while staying around in Dupree. They're taking the struggle together, neither knowing what they want, and both finding their faith. The characters are all relatable and I was on the edge needing to know who Gillian would pick. All of them have their own struggle, and they were realistic situations that made the characters more endearing and heartfelt. This is a great read for those who enjoy Christian faith novels. It is the third and final book in the series but can be read as a standalone, which I did.
