About the Book: Braving All for Love

Their backgrounds are worlds apart—the taciturn Anglo cowboy and the proud lady of Mexican descent.

In 1836 Texas, Mariana Sandoval, the determined mistress of Rancho Sandoval, is out to prove that a woman can run a ranch as well as any man. But when renegade Comanches kidnap her, the top hand from a neighboring ranch, Scully Falconer, rescues her and is charged with protecting her. Though Mariana resists, Scully’s quiet strength and loyalty soon test her pride—and her heart.

As family secrets emerge and General Santa Anna’s army marches toward the Alamo, Mariana and Scully are swept up in the tide of history. Together they must face danger, prejudice, and personal transformation in a story of faith, forgiveness, and enduring love.

BookHookup Review: Braving All for Love

Lyn Cote delivers a sweet historical romance rich with heart and historical texture. Braving All for Love transports readers to the volatile days leading up to the Texas Revolution, blending romance, faith, and cultural tension with a steady hand.

Mariana is a strong heroine, proud, capable, and determined to stand her ground in a world that doubts her because of both her gender and heritage. Scully, her stoic protector, brings quiet depth and integrity to the story. Together, their journey through distrust, danger, and redemption captures the essence of what it means to love across divides.

The novel doesn’t shy away from the realities of prejudice and war, yet it remains hopeful and inspiring. Cote’s storytelling highlights the power of faith and forgiveness, reminding readers that grace can bridge even the deepest divides.

This is a clean, faith-based romance that will appeal to fans of historical fiction, Christian romance, and stories that weave real history with timeless lessons of the heart.

Both stories feature strong Mexican heroines, stoic cowboy heroes, and powerful themes of faith, forgiveness, and courage set against the rugged Texas frontier. Lyn Cote’s heartfelt storytelling will appeal to anyone who enjoys clean, faith-centered historical romance rich with emotion and history.
