In the author's letter to readers, [a:Amanda Cabot 1609844 Amanda Cabot https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1381945827p2/1609844.jpg]states that she had referred to this book as the mail-order-bride-meets-Cyrano-de-Bergerac book. After reading it, I find it to be that and so much more. I initially requested this book and through confusion received it months later and it was on my back burner, but when I realized I could have the opportunity to read the sequel [b:Scattered Petals 6605733 Scattered Petals (Texas Dreams, #2) Amanda Cabot https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1440651981s/6605733.jpg 6799647] and I had enjoyed starting this one I snatched it back up. I enjoyed getting back into the characters lives and now I am eager for the sequel. [b:Paper Roses 3776663 Paper Roses (Texas Dreams, #1) Amanda Cabot https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1424451107s/3776663.jpg 3820700] is my first introduction to author Amanda Cabot, but after reading this one I definitely do not plan for it to be my last. This story of Paper Roses has the best title (and I am certain that Scattered Petals will be just as appropriate). Bringing together the elements of faith, forgiveness, vengeance, murder and madness as well as trust and child-like intuitiveness this story finds it's way into your heart and holds on. The characters are real and their plights are difficult. The mystery is woven through out and the clues kept quiet. Romance is palpable, but confusion as it is in real life. Through out the story I could not guess what would come next, but my interest was peeked and the pages kept turning. I highly recommend this read as I am sure will recommend the entire series. Thanks to Revell Books for providing a copy for review.
