My Review - Tomorrow's Garden

TOMORROW’S GARDEN by Amanda Cabot had all the elements for a good romance book.

Harriet Kirk is ready to move from her hometown to Ladreville, Texas, to give her and her five siblings a fresh start. As the new schoolteacher, she is hoping to put her difficult past behind and offer stability for her younger brothers and sisters. Never one to think about herself, she finds herself confused about her growing feelings for Lawrence Wood, the town sheriff.

Lawrence Wood, former Texas Ranger, is in Ladreville waiting for his contract to be up. His commitment to be the town mayor/sheriff is coming to an end, and as far as Lawrence is concerned it is time for him to move on. That is until Harriet Kirk comes to town. At first, she is nothing more than a nuisance to him, but soon he finds himself drawn to Harriet’s selfless ways and determination to see her young siblings with a better life.

I enjoyed TOMORROW’S GARDEN. Though I feel as if I have read the plot before, I enjoyed the characters Ms. Cabot created, including some of the town folk of Ladreville that rounded out the story. The drama was never heart stopping, but proved to be the catalyst that brought the hero and heroine together. TOMORROW’S GARDEN is book three in the Texas Dreams Trilogy, but it stands alone just fine by itself. I did not read book one or two and was able to follow the story and back story just fine. A satisfying read.
