My Review:

I recently finished reading the book "Texas Times" by Caryl McAdoo and I must say it was a wonderful experience. The story revolves around Alex Bell, a 30-year-old woman who inherits 45% of a newspaper company from her uncle. She moves to Dallas to work at the newspaper and there she meets Amos Humble, who is the chief reporter for the Texas Times. Alex and Amos work together on various stories and in the meantime, Alex gets to know Amos's family in Delaware Creek. The story features many other characters such as Esther, a cute nine-year-old singer, Frank, the editor of the Texas Times, and Boyd Brown, a Pinkerton Detective who takes an interest in Alex. As the story progresses, we see Alex and Amos developing a romantic interest in each other. The ending of the book was really cute and romantic. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a light and enjoyable read. I loved it! I would like to thank Celebrate Lit for giving me the opportunity to read and review it. I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

For example, we learn about the newspaper business and the challenges that come with running a successful publication. We also get to see Alex and Amos work on various stories, which gives us insight into the world of journalism. In conclusion, I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

More from Caryl

I can’t imagine the Cross Timbers Romance Family Saga coming to an end anytime soon, but I’m up to nine books in it! I love these characters so much and the fact that some of those beautiful fictitious people I love from my first family saga (Texas Romances) show up from time to time—I mean they all live in Texas so . . . !

This book nine, TEXAS TIMES has been so much fun because of its background setting—a Dallas newspaper in 1877. It lends itself to anything happening at any time, so the adventure and pace of the story know no bounds!

I introduce a new female character as my heroine in TEXAS TIMES, Alexandria who is moving to Dallas from the tiny Texas Hill Country community of Spicewood to assume a new position at the newspaper there after inheriting a forty-five percent ownership of it.

The Cross Timbers’ characters show up in TEXAS TIMES as the heroes. There’s Amos Humble, the paper’s star reporter and son of Landry and Arlene Humble (book three TEXAS TEARS) and Stephen O’Neal, the first class fiddler son of Flynn and Alicia (book one GONE TO TEXAS.) So I’m still in the third generation with no telling how many more books to go!

This story covers a lot. Forgiveness of others and one’s self, God’s supernatural miracles, His giftings, His plans and purposes for our lives, the importance of truth… I could go on and on. I pray you all will enjoy this fast-paced story and that it gives God glory!

BLESSINGS!
