I really liked all four of the Texas Treasures books, but I can't figure out why they were all included in a series. I thought the Texas Treasures fundraiser in [b:Sealed With A Kiss|1139674|Sealed With A Kiss (Love Inspired)|Mae Nunn|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181337243s/1139674.jpg|1126954] would be the focus of the other three books, but it was only mentioned in that book. The second book, [b:Amazing Love|2211622|Amazing Love|Mae Nunn|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266639282s/2211622.jpg|2217410], was about a former employee of Sealed With a Kiss's hero and had absolutely nothing to do with the people or fundraiser in the first book. The third book, [b:Mom in the Middle (Texas Treasures Series #3)|2169740|Mom in the Middle (Texas Treasures Series #3) (Love Inspired #397)|Mae Nunn|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266602023s/2169740.jpg|2175363], was even further removed, and while the fourth book, [b:Lone Star Courtship: Texas Treasures|3152163|Lone Star Courtship Texas Treasures|Mae Nunn|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1267816941s/3152163.jpg|3183709], took place in Texas, none of the main characters even LIVED in Texas. They were all very good books; I just don't see why they were all put in a series.… (meer)

A friend sent me this book.

Jessica gets a reduction in her housing in exchange for revamping the landscaping around the townhouses. She's recovering from a leg injury that ended her professional dancing career and trying to launch a second career in gardening/landscape design.

Drew's recovered from an accident of his own and now is a partner in a car restoration shop when he moves in next door. Drew's original plan included looking up a girl he'd known in the past and starting a political career.

God has a way of changing people's plans.

My biggest complaint is one that's common to the Love Inspired Series--the man and women end up getting engaged/married after knowing each other for only a short time. I'm not quite sure that it's true love at that point. I don't think there's been time to move beyond the infatuation stage after only a few weeks or months.

I liked how Jessica treated Faith--trying to include her, not talking down to her, etc. (Especially compared to how Amelia treated Faith like she was a burden.)

I liked the lady who helped differently abled people be creative and learn about creativity.… (meer)

I liked the charisma between the two main characters in this story. They had very different backgrounds, but blended well together.

Casey Hardy (who you would have met a little bit from book #3) thinks her career as a businesswoman is going along just as planned. But when a British lawyer, Barrett Westbrook, shows up to look over her business ideas, things start to unravel a little. Can these two people keep both their jobs and the feelings for each other in tact? A pleasurable romance story, with a little bit of British charm.… (meer)

Widow Abby Cramer is doing her best to care for her toddler son and elderly parents and teach youngsters at school. But though she thinks she has it all under control, she wasn't ready for her mother to fall and break her hip at a home-improvement store. Store owner Guy Hardy steps in and saves the day, and his big smile and kindness towards her whole family will soften Abby's heart and make her realize she can love once again. But can Guy realize that the life he thinks he has planned out can be changed by a young woman and her existing family. Let go and let God be in control.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself reading this story (that can easily be read as a stand alone book in this series).… (meer)
