MY REVIEW
Sincerely Yours is a book with 4 stories in it by 4 different authors. The authors are Jane Kirkpatrick, Amanda Cabot, Laurie Alice Eakes, and Ann Shorey.
  I like books that have several stories in them. You may find a new author that you love or if you don’t like one of them the story isn’t long.
  The stories in this book are titled Moonlight Promise by Laurie Alice Eakes. This one I didn’t care much for. The characters weren’t that likable and it seemed to drag in places.
 The next one was called Lessons in Love by Ann Shorey.  Another one I didn’t care much for because it seemed silly. Why would someone try to hide she is a woman just so she could write.
  One Little Word by Amanda Cabot was one well written and one I enjoyed. I liked it because the characters didn’t let money or family inheritance get in the way of making them happy.
  I just loved A Saving Grace by Jane Kirkpatrick. This is a story that I wish would be a lot longer, because it was so good. Jane knows how to write a romantic/suspenseful story that keeps your interest.
  Overall this book is well worth reading and keeping. I do recommend it.

 MY REVIEW This is the first book I’ve read of Amanda Cabot’s and I really enjoyed it. Tomorrow’s Garden is the third book in the Texas Dreams series, but can also be read as a stand alone book. Love the cover and title. Harriet takes her five younger siblings and moves to a different town so they all can have a fresh start without any mistakes, but did she do the right thing? Will Lawrence an ex Texas Ranger, now sheriff and mayor help or hinder Harriet in her quest. I love how each of the children begin to change and bloom in this new town. So take longer to learn lessons and some lessons are very hard. The main characters Harriet and Lawrence are fantastic, but there are so many more wonderful, caring people in this small town. A book could be written on each one. This is another book that has a lot of heartbreak, loss, pain, but also the wonderful love, happiness and peace of a good family and superb friends. It was a gentle, satisfying read that would be nice to read on a rainy afternoon or right before sleep.
