So many books and so little time to read them all. It's daunting to see so many promising books and even more being published every day. Hopefully our book reviews can help you decide what books you want to read next.

Paper Roses by Amanda Cabot

Paper Roses by Amanda Cabot was surprisingly good.  I really enjoyed reading this historical romance novel.  It was not too mushy or cheesy which was very nice.  I also like that it was a little longer than most kindle books that you can download for free.  Yes, this book right now is free on the kindle.  It is part of a trilogy, but is the type of book that can be read by itself without you needing to read the other books.  It ends without leaving any loose ends.  I like being able to read a few books without having to read the entire set.

Sarah has traveled from Philedelpia to San Antonio as a mail-order bride.  She has a 2-year-old sister who she must take care of as well since both her parents died in Philedelphia.  She arrives in San Antonio to be greeted by her future brother-in-law Clay, who informs her that her betrothed, Austin, has been murdured.  Clay offers to pay for her return, but she refuses and starts working at a store and later starts a school in order to provide for her and her sister.

Clay is determined to find his brother's killer, but is having no luck.  No one knows who could have killed him.  There is also someone who keeps stealing and breaking fences in the area and a young french man is being framed for these occurances.  Later in the book someone starts to try and hurt Sarah as well.  Together, Clay and Sarah work to overcome their own grudges and forgive others for hurting them in order to move on and fall in love with eachother.  This book ties in a lot of spiritual moments as well about trusting in God and that there is a reason for everything that is done.  We must forgive all and trust in the Lord.
