Book Review - A Tender Hope by Amanda Cabot



Photo Credit - Amazon

After Thea Michener's husband was murdered and her baby stillborn, Thea decided there was nothing left for her in Ladreville. She moves with her friend, Aimee to Cimarron Creek to take the open midwife position. Thea has no interest in remarrying and having more children after her husband and child passed. However, when she arrives in town a Texas Ranger is waiting for her on her doorstep.

On his way to town, Ranger Jackson Guthre finds an abandoned baby and takes the child with him to town.  Since he was investigating Thea, he decides this is the perfect opportunity to get to know her better. Jackson is convinced that her late husband was involved in the robbery that killed his brother. As Jackson befriends Thea, he realizes the situation is more complicated than he could imagine. He realizes he will need Thea's help if he wants to catch the criminals behind his brother's murder.

This was my first time reading anything by the author and I found the book to be an enjoyable read. I didn't read the other books in the series and I was still able to follow along with the story.  I enjoyed the mystery elements in the book as it added depth to the novel. I feel like a lot of romance novels just have a bit of back and forth with the main characters without any actual story or character development. The only thing I didn't like or found realistic is that right off the bat, Jackson knew that Thea was innocent. Part of me hoped that she was at least involved the robbery to add in some more drama. Overall, I enjoyed the novel and look forward to reading more by the author.

Lollia Poetic License 72 Velvet as Night Fine Perfumed Soap







The triple milled soap comes in a bold colorblocked with gold trimming packaging. Underneath the colorful packaging is block of delicately scented soap. The soap has scents of rose nilk and frankincense. The soap did provide a generous lather and left my skin delicately scented. I usually like floral scents but, I wasn't crazy over the scent. It was hard to place it words it felt, like a mish-mash of scents.

Smith’s Rosebud Perfume Co. Rosebud Salve









This multi-tasking salve soothes dry skin, heal irritation and soothes minor burns. It has a delicate scent but it is a bit greasy. Which does make it ideal to relieve dryness at my elbows, knees, and hands. But the best part is there is no limit to what you can use it for and especially for the price, it is quite the steal. I can see why this is a cult favorite and almost everyone has one in their purse.

Sex in the City- Kiss Perfumed Shower Gel



I finally came across the second part of the gift set. The shower gel turned out to be more promising than the perfumed body lotion counterpart. While it still had the same scent as the body lotion and perfume; the body gel’s scent was a lighter and not as overpowering.  The gel provided a good amount of lather and left a soft lingering scent. Overall, this was the best part of the Sex in the City gift set.
