I love them for vacation to carry a little bit of everyone with you. But I also love them for meeting new authors. In this instance, all four of these ladies are not new to me. Actually all four of these ladies find themselves on my favorites list. Contains four sweeping stories from bestselling historical romance authors. Provides novella-length releases between authors' full-length novels. One-of-a-kind stories set in antebellum and post-bellum Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. Includes Reading Group Guides. Bonus content: http://media.harpercollinschristian.com/page/fairmagnoliastreasury/Dorothy Love writes a good deep story. Even for a short story her writing can captivate an audience. It's amazing when a character can make you so angry... I was wondering if this was going to be along the lines of an unrequited until very later years love story like a Nicholas Sparks novel. Reading the whole of A Love So True I'm glad I kept going because at points I wanted to just walk away from the story out of frustration. I think that in the end I'm a satisfied reader however. It was also neat to be able to revisit Pawley's Island, the setting of Dorothy's Caroline Gold, with my own memories of the shore line of the Isle of Palms on my mind.Tammy's characters are always so amusing, yet real in my opinion.When as a reader you approach a novel by Elizabeth Musser, one often knows not to expect a light read. Her books are full, filled to the brim with emotion and relatable experiences. I'm most familiar with Amish stories that Shelley has written and those I've really enjoyed.This review was originally posted on www.CreativeMadnessMama.com
