Linda Warren’s A Child’s Gift lives up to the “HEARTWARMING” stamped across its cover. Troubles of the past and familial concerns threaten to keep Jericho Johnson and Anamarie Wiznowski apart, but when Rico becomes the guardian for an adorable four-year-old, Dusty, life begins to fill with hope, love, and second chances.

The story between Rico, Ana, and Dusty unfolds sweetly and I enjoyed it. It makes for a delightful Christmas indulgence, so if you’re in need of a nice holiday read, check out A Child’s Gift.

3.5 Stars

Though this is the eighth book in Linda Warren’s Texas Rebels series, it’s the first one I’ve read, and I was not at all lost. Although, now I’m tempted to topple my TBR by adding the first seven and getting to know the rest of the men at the Rebel Ranch.

From the moment he steps onto the page, little Dusty steals the show. His story is heartbreaking but with the resilience children seem to inherently possess, this little boy makes the best of his situation.
It’s Dusty who brings Rico and Ana (who have been circling around taking flirtatious conversations to the next step). But when their little family is threatened, can love hold them together?

A Child’s Gift is about family in all shapes and sized and all that goes with it. The fall-on-your-knees-in-despair disappointments, the overbearing members who make you want to pull your hair out, the happiness of home, and the unconditional love given freely.
