Wonderfully Powerful!,

This review is from: Scattered Petals: A Novel (Paperback)
Scattered Petals is the 2nd book in the Texas Dreams series by Amanda Cabot. I have not read the first book, Paper Roses, however I feel that it is not completely necessary to have done so. Scattered Petals does well as a stand alone novel.
I was very impressed with the well developed characters, and I cannot believe the tragedies that the main character, Priscilla, had to endure. Without leaving spoilers of the plot I will just say that what Priscilla endures in just a short time span of a few months, nobody should ever endure in a lifetime. This book is raw with emotion, and yet the author beautifully shows the power of forgiveness. Cabot also covers the themes of drama, romance, love, family, faith and social issues such as rape, murder and prejudice. If you love historical fiction, you will definitely enjoy Scattered Petals. The third book in the Texas Dreams series will be released in March 2011 and you can bet, I willl be reading that one too!

Two thumbs up!,
By Christina Banks "Stina Rose" (Deep River, ON Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Scattered Petals: A Novel (Paperback)
Priscilla Morton left Boston looking for adventure, but she wasn't prepared for the danger that would find her on the trail to Texas. Three men hold up her stage, and take away all that she holds dear. She is left with fears that will not go away. When necessity bring her together with a handsome man and his haunted past. Priscilla wonders who needed whom more. Could God have really had a plan through her heartache?
Scattered Petals is the second book in Amanda Cabot's "Texas Dreams" series. Though this is the second book in a series, it was not distracting to the stand alone quality of the novel. It is a story of hope, forgiveness and second chances. Cabot is not afraid to put her characters in difficult situations. The story is full of action, adventure and suspense... not to mention romance. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these wonderful characters through the pages of the novel. After reading this story, I would like to read more books from the "Texas Dream" series. I would recommend this book to lovers of romantic westerns and historical fiction. (I received a complimentary copy of this book for the purpose of review.)

An excellent part to a wonderful series!,
By "ReviewsByMolly" "Molly Edwards, auth... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scattered Petals: A Novel (Paperback)
I loved this book! This book is both heart warming and heart wrenching. A story that is filled with tragedy and heartache, as well as, compassion, understanding and romance. It was truly hard to put this book down for anything! I fell in love with the characters, especially little Thea! She was a charming child with that child innocence that will pull you right in! My heart really went out to Priscilla, or Sunny Cilla, as she's known. She endured a terrible tragedy, yet had to push on. I don't think I could have done that! And Zach....well, let's just say that I would love to have a man like Zach in my life! But amongst all these secrets, tragedies and heartaches, there is something more. There is God. God's love, God's forgiveness and His mercy, all of which you can see healing these souls.
Amanda Cabott really captured history and took me to a place in time that I would love to have truly lived in! I felt a part of Ladreville, Texas and didn't want to leave! This is book 2 in the Texas Dreams series, and while I wish I could have had the chance to read book 1, Paper Roses, I wasn't lost in this book. To me, it would be a perfect stand alone or a perfect book in the series. A well written, 5 star book from an extremely talented author. Definitely recommend and definitely looking forward to book 3's release 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

A touching example of how "love is patient" ...,
By L. Smith "sugarandgrits" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Scattered Petals: A Novel (Paperback)
Paper Roses (Texas Dreams, bk 1) was my first experience reading Amanda Cabot's writing, and I found it to be pretty boring, and it moved really slow. Scattered Petals
turned out to be a lot better, in my opinion. It held my interest much more, and moved right along. We meet Priscilla Morton as she is travelling with her parents to attend her brother-in-law, Clay Canfield's, wedding. An unfortunate tragedy, along the way, changes Priscilla's life forever, and also gives her a debilitating fear of men. She is completely terrified for any man touch her, or even get too close to her. Her new sister-in-law, Sarah, and Sarah's little sister, Thea, play an important role in helping Priscilla get her life back in order. Zachary Webster was first introduced to us as a friend to Clay Canfield's father in Paper Roses. He has taken over as foreman at the Bar C, the Canfield ranch, and become like a brother to Clay. Once Priscilla arrives, and Zach realizes that she is absolutely terrified of him, he starts making plans to leave the ranch, and head back to his childhood home to try and make amends for mistakes he made in his past. Through the grace of God, and the help of close friends and family, Zach and Priscilla slowly begin to form a lasting relationship. I really enjoyed getting to know Priscilla and Zach, and finding out how their story played out. My favorite character from both books is Thea, Sarah's five year old sister. She is a real hoot! If you haven't read either of these books, I recommend that you read them in order, since Scattered Petals pretty much takes up where Paper Roses left off. Be sure to visit Amanda Cabot's website to find out more about her and her books. "Available March 2010 at your favorite bookseller from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group." *** Thank you to Donna @ Revell Publishing for providing my review copy. *** 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
