What a great start to Lenora Worth’s new series set in Blossom, Texas.! I thoroughly enjoyed Drake and Sarina’s romance. Loved the mystery too. Lenora Worth’s book always leave me with a happy, feel good sigh and Closing the Deal is no exception. Can’t wait to read the next two books in the series!
The Brides of Blossom Texas series is a new series that looks to be a fun and interesting one based in my great state. It starts off with a a wedding venue that is falling around literally at the seams and floorboards. Sarina inherits it from her grandma who in spite of loving & raising her has kept her in the dark about a great number of things since she left town to go to college and work in the big city of Dallas. Now she has come home, she thought to help her sick Nana only to bury her and decide what to do with the old Victorian B/B. We get to meet so many characters that will be showcased in future books I am sure and yes we even saw a peek of a few old familiar faces ie: the Castles. I love books based in my home state and enjoy reading then and thinking that could be based around places I have traveled or seen before. Sarina and Drake’s story for me was a great intro to this series and I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
A very nice story about a woman who lost her family and is about to lose her legacy. With the help of friends, and one man in particular, she fights to hold onto the only place she calls home. Wonderfully written with good characters. No sex or foul language.
I just finished this one and it was interesting, hope to read the other two soon.
Wonderful story with great characters! I enjoy series with stand alone stories including returning characters. Its like a weekend spent with extended family. I can’t wait to read more of this series!

Ok book
The writing was confusing and hard to follow at times

Sabrina soon finds family secrets that might help save the B&B. Drake has arrived to make a deal on the buying the B&B but he will need to sweet talk Sabrina into the sale but soon he finds himself falling for Sabrina and helps her in saving the B&B.
This is a sweet romance of listening to your heart and following your dreams. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
When love becomes the deal, anything can happen.
After Sarina Gabriel’s grandmother suddenly passes away and leaves Falling Blossoms Inn to her, Sarina is left with a big decision. Should she sell the inn and disappoint everyone in the town of Blossom, Texas, or should she stay and try to fix up the inn that so many people love?
Drake Dunmore arrived in Blossom to convince Sarina to sell her grandmother mansion. His father wants the land to build luxury condos on. But Drake loves historic homes and dreams of owning his own one day. He hates the thought of seeing this beauty tore down, but he does have a job to do. As Drake gets to know Sarina better, he starts thinking more about his future and love and less about his father’s wishes.
This is the first book in a new series and I can’t wait to read the rest of the books. I really liked Sarina and Drake’s story. I enjoyed the banter between them and the way they spoke in rhymes was different. There was a little historic mystery to figure out and hearing the background of how Fallen Blossoms Inn and the town came to be was interesting.
I’ve been reading mysteriesately so I was a little disappointed with the blandness of this book.
