Paper Roses

Texas Dreams, Book 1

By: Amanda Cabot

Narrated by: Barbara McCulloh

The future stretches out in front of Sarah Dobbs like the pure blue Texas sky. Leaving the past behind in Philadelphia, mail-order-bride Sarah arrives in San Antonio ready to greet her groom, Austin Canfield, a man she has never met but whose letters have won her heart from afar. But there is one problem - he has died. And Sarah cannot go back East.

As Sarah tries to reconcile herself to a future that is drastically changed, Austin's brother, Clay, struggles with his own muddled plans. Though he dislikes working on the family ranch and longs for a different life, Clay is driven to avenge his brother's death. But something between them is growing, and neither Clay nor Sarah is ready to admit it. 

Book one of the Texas Dreams series, Paper Roses will sweep listeners into the Hill Country with a tale of love and loss, closed doors and beautiful possibilities that will leave them wanting more.

Be Still my heart

A wonderful story of Love, loss, and God’s work

This author’s stories touch my heart and the narrator, one of my favorites, was perfect in bringing it alive

I only hope the rest of this series is brought to audible quickly!

Amazing book

I love this book. It in fact its my favorite book!
I truly hope they will put the next two books on audible‘s soon!

Scripturally Sound and Culturally Inclusive

The story is engaging. The author uses realistic characters with age old conflict to create a historical fiction story. The characters are relatable, with modern flaws and issues. The author crafted the plot with a well written setting. The only lag were Sarah's multiple suitors. This is a page turner with suspense throughout.

Good

The narrator was not the best, couldn't always tell the male voices from the female.

Great romance mystery!

The author wove a great story while showing Biblical principles of forgiveness. Beautifully read by the narrator. It really held my attention. Highly recommend!
