Just like Mexico and the U.S. wanted the Republic of Texas; best friends Charity and Arlene want the same man. Who will Texas choose? Who will the man? Will Eberhart de Priest, the object of the young ladies’ desires, follow his heart or his mother’s advice? And what of the interloper from New Orleans who knows exactly whom he loves?

My Thoughts on Texas Tears:
First, Caryl McAdoo is a wonderful author. I have enjoyed all of her writings that I have been able to read. Definitely check her out and start a binge session soon.
Second, I have found that all of her books work best when read within their series. This really does give you a better feel for the characters and more back story so you don’t find yourself asking fifty questions without answers.
Third, I broke my own rule in second and didn’t read the books that come before this one when I read this book. Texas Tears is book three in a series and I can say that I now really have to go back and read the first two but they will be a bit anti-climatic because I know things that happen in book three that tell me what will happen in books one and two. But I have to know!
The characters are superb! I love getting to know them and feel that I would love to sit down and have a good chat with them. Charity and Arlene are both sweet and great girls in their own way but I can’t help but root for one over the other when it comes to winning the man.
I love the good solid biblical base and faith that is interwoven into all of Caryl McAdoo’s books. It definitely sets a good basis for a great story.
When I read good books I like to rate them on whether I would let my teenage daughter read them or not. Most of Caryl McAdoo’s works are ones that I wouldn’t hesitate to give to my teenager. This one is one of those that I wouldn’t mind letting a teenager read.
I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.
About the Author of Texas Tears
Caryl McAdoo prays her story brings God glory—what she lives to do. Her award-winning, best-selling novels enjoy a lion’s share of 5-Star ratings from Christian readers around the world. With forty-five titles, it’s obvious she loves writing almost as much as singing the new songs the Lord gives her—listen to a few at YouTube. ‘Golden husband Ron shares four children and eighteen grandsugars. The McAdoos live in the woods south of Clarksville, seat of Red River County in far Northeast Texas, waiting expectantly for God to open the next door.
More from Caryl
TEXAS TEARS includes the vote to enter the Union or remain a Republic in 1845. Though it ended in an overwhelming approval to become a state, believe you me, tears fell all over Texas and have been falling since for some.
As a semi-closet secessionist, it wouldn’t bother me if the Texas Legislature voted tomorrow to become the Second Republic of Texas! There are plenty of true radicals living today in the Lone Star State who work diligently daily toward that end!
Anyway, tears also fell in the new Texas community where the four families first met in GONE TO TEXAS—the O’Neals, Van Zandts, Worleys, and Harrells—have been settling in five years. One of their own, Thomas Baldwin (introduced in book two, TEXAS MY TEXAS) represented them in the Texas Congress, going to Washington on the Brazos to vote!
Not all the tears that fell in that growing community were over the vote, but rather a man who came riding in on a magnificent black stallion. Eberhart de Vecchi was tall, handsome, and a perfect Prince Charming who swept the two young coming-of-age women there right off their high-topped shoes!
Friends their whole lives, the older, Charity O’Neal, claimed him right off, but Arlene Van Zandt the younger—only by six months and three days—who’s always given in before isn’t ready to acquiesce so quickly in this instance, smitten as she is.
And so, thar’s trouble in them thar hills! To thicken the sludge, enters the hard-working Landry Humble, Monroe’s (also introduced in book two TEXAS MY TEXAS) nephew. This young man, able to pick more than twice his weight in cotton in a day, knows immediately which lovely he wants.
My, my, my . . . the tears do fall in Texas, and not everyone can have a happy ending. Or can they?
