About this listen

Past promises will be tested as new ones are given....

When Clayton Proffitt, foreman of the Circle Z Ranch in Texas, discovers Vanessa Grant is the victim of her stepfather's advances, Clayton knows he must protect her honor and move her far away from the ranch - and from the man she fears. As they make their way west, an unexpected, deep bond develops between Vanessa and Clayton - far more powerful than a mere friendship or his sense of duty to her. But Vanessa's stepfather won't let her go so easily. As Clayton and Vanessa place their faith in God and their trust in each other, will they find healing and hope for the future together?

Critic reviews

"Shelley Gray’s fans will enjoy riding along with her characters down a new trail of romance in A Texan’s Promise, the first in The Heart of a Hero series. Readers will be rooting for Clayton and Vanessa to find their way to a true and lasting love." (Ann H. Gabhart, author of The Outsider, Summer of Joy, and Angel Sister)
"Shelley Gray is a wonderful storyteller, and A Texan’s Promise captured me from the first page. This endearing love story is so rich with detail, I felt like I was traveling alongside Vanessa and Clayton throughout their incredible journey. Clayton is the hero every woman dreams of, and I loved watching Vanessa grow from a scared girl into a strong woman. This is a wonderful start to this new series. Highly recommended." (Beth Wiseman, best-selling author of the Daughters of the Promise series)

Christian romance

Good Christian romance book. Story is sad but happy ending. A little too much preaching for me but whatever helps you live a better life is ok with me!

A Texan’s Promise. Book 1 of Heart of a Hero series

Excellent book. So completely refreshing to find a romance novel that is more like people actually lived in the late 1800 s. People who had faith in the Bible and learned to live by its teachings and how to live, care for and forgive each other when the time was right. There’s more than enough hard times and problems to keep the plot moving throughout the book. But most of all, it isn’t a continuous description of sexual encounters. Loved it. I will be reading the series.

Really Enjoyed LIstening to this Story!

One of my favorite Shelley Gray (Shelley Shepard Gray) books that I have read numerous times over the years! This time I listened to the audio book version, which was very nicely done. I enjoyed the narrator and thought that she did a good job with the story.

Easy Read

Narration was a little over the top a couple of times but I didn't feel the need to stop reading for that reason.
I enjoyed the story, and the twist at the end. Didn't see that coming.
