Christmas Roses

This book review is for the novel "Christmas Roses" by Amanda Cabot.

I will start off by saying that I love Amanda's books and she has a fan in me. This is a cute what I call short story that will get you in the Christmas spirit.

Celia, who is our main character is likable and you will find yourself rooting for her and her small child to get their happily ever after.


~~~~~~~~~~
Celia Anderson is alone, with a small child, and her friends well intentioned hints that she needs to find a daddy for her baby isn't helping matters.

She simply isn't ready to take on a new husband and has no intention of doing so. Her hands are more than full enough with taking care of her baby running a boarding house, not to mention being a babysitter for another small child.

However, even if she doesn't want to admit it to anyone else, to her own self she can admit that she MIGHT consider another husband if she found the right one. The right man who will bring her Christmas roses.

Being as those roses are almost impossible to find, however, her standards are far from being low for a future man in her life.
~~~~~~~~~~

Hope you all have had a Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for bearing with me as I know my last few reviews have been shorter than normal. I am dealing with a broken computer screen at the moment but should hopefully have a new one by some time next week!

~Summer of Promise~

This book review is for the novel "Summer of Promise" by Amanda Cabot.
It is book 1 of the Westward Winds series.

I like Amanda's writing style and enjoyed the well thought out story that she brings to the pages of this novel.
I also appreciated the different historical facts that she weaved into the storyline and will look for more books by her.

~~~~~~~~~~

Abigail Harding, lives her life by the books. She has a steady job as a teacher and a life all planned out with a gentleman, who also teaches at her school.  He wants the same things in life that she thinks she wants. A steady job, with predictable summers off and a home near the school where they teach.

What she doesn't expect is to have to venture out to the untamed wilds of Fort Laramie, Wyoming.
But when she feels that God is leading her there to check on her, newly wedded, sister, whose forced cheerfulness in her letters don't seem to ring true, off she roams.

All she seems to see in this rugged country is boring scenery and danger, such as the stagecoach attempted robbery on her first day in the place. What she might not realize is that not only does her sister need her but just perhaps she is drawn there to receive something that she, herself might need.
~~~~~~~~~~

The book is full of adventure and sisterhood as well as romance. It kept me interested and turning the pages!


Keep Reading!
