Reviews for The Texan's Twin Blessings

[jenniferrobb · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

William Barns is convinced marriage and family are not meant from him after a broken engagement where his fiancee not only did not want to help raise his nieces but also informed him she didn't want children at all.Emily Jane Rodgers is convinced a marriage and family aren't for her because she has a dream of owning her own bakery. Her father convinced her that no respecting man would allow his wife to own her own business.William's nieces, Rose and Ruby, bring the two together. William needs someone to take care of them while he's at work. The two girls are probably age appropriate, but boy do they manage to get into quite a few things!I like that William is committed to taking care of his nieces. I didn't quite understand why (or how) their father could go off and leave them to pursue the bad guys. I mean I could see it for a short period of time, but it appears he was gone long enough for William to worry that he was dead. I also like that William was committed to helping those in town to rebuild, and that he also is respectful of Emily Jane's dreams and thoughts. I liked Levi too--he also tries to care for the widows and others by providing jobs for them in businesses he owns. In at least one case, he is allowing the woman running the business to plan to buy it from him. He also chips in to help the townspeople when they lose their homes to the tornado.This book doesn't appear to be part of a series, but it wouldn't surprise me if there is another book about Josiah and Anna Mae.

I absolutely loved this western historical romance. It was a clean story, with lots of twists and turns filled with twin babies, fox pups, and humor. Although there are many hardships, there is a sense of picking themselves up and keep going. Will look for more of this author's work.
