"Texas Tears" by Caryl McAdoo is a wonderful book about characters from her other books. I believed that even if readers haven't read her other books featuring these characters, this book would still be an enjoyable read. It is a story of love at first sight and there is even rivalry between two friends who have been friends forever. This story shows things never stay the sam, but that sometimes it is for the better, if changes come.

The Bible says "We are to honor our parents but does it says it, our mother should get to choose who we married. That is what Hart has to decide. Will he choose Charity or Arlene or neither one.

I enjoyed reading about Arlene's novel in process. But the book ended with me wondering if it gets published. Maybe that question will get answered in a future book.

This book really has the reader wondering who ends up with whom , till the very end.

Once again, Carly McAdoo lets her readers know our God is a God who forgives and He does give the desires of the heart to those who delight in Him.

I received a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are mine own.

More from Caryl

TEXAS TEARS includes the vote to enter the Union or remain a Republic in 1845. Though it ended in an overwhelming approval to become a state, believe you me, tears fell all over Texas and have been falling since for some.

As a semi-closet secessionist, it wouldn’t bother me if the Texas Legislature voted tomorrow to become the Second Republic of Texas! There are plenty of true radicals living today in the Lone Star State who work diligently daily toward that end!

Anyway, tears also fell in the new Texas community where the four families first met in GONE TO TEXAS—the O’Neals, Van Zandts, Worleys, and Harrells—have been settling in five years. One of their own, Thomas Baldwin (introduced in book two, TEXAS MY TEXAS) represented them in the Texas Congress, going to Washington on the Brazos to vote!

Not all the tears that fell in that growing community were over the vote, but rather a man who came riding in on a magnificent black stallion. Eberhart de Vecchi was tall, handsome, and a perfect Prince Charming who swept the two young coming-of-age women there right off their high-topped shoes!

Friends their whole lives, the older, Charity O’Neal, claimed him right off, but Arlene Van Zandt the younger—only by six months and three days—who’s always given in before isn’t ready to acquiesce so quickly in this instance, smitten as she is.

And so, thar’s trouble in them thar hills! To thicken the sludge, enters the hard-working Landry Humble, Monroe’s (also introduced in book two TEXAS MY TEXAS) nephew. This young man, able to pick more than twice his weight in cotton in a day, knows immediately which lovely he wants.

My, my, my . . . the tears do fall in Texas, and not everyone can have a happy ending. Or can they?
