This was an enjoyable story that takes place in the quaint town of Poetry, Texas. It was not a "can't put it down until I finish" kind of book, but enjoyable none the less.

Belinda Bauer considers herself a marriage broker and sets out to help the town by finding a wife for each of the single men in town. So one by one single women arrive in town and usually they end up with a different man than Belinda had planned. George, the local barber, and Belinda's best friend, she is finding it hard to find his perfect match. While searching she discovers that she is his perfect match, but can she get George to see her as more than a friend. It was fun to watch the people in town find their true love and watch George and Belinda find each other in Poetry, Texas. Enjoy! ( )

Poetry is an interesting method of communication. It was amazing and good writing in my opinion to find poetry woven not only through out the prose of this story, but also into the metaphors and descriptions of a Christian life. God is the ultimate poet if only we would listen for the next stanza of our lives before jumping on our own. This book contained a great matchmaking and mis-matchmaking love story for the inhabitants of the town of Poetry, Texas and Janice Hanna was also able to weave historical elements of famous poets through out.

As my first experience with a Love Finds You novel I was entirely pleased and look forward to reading more of them in the future. The love between the main characters was palpable and described very well in a realistic manner of friendship and assumptions. I love the writing of Janice Hanna aka Janice Thompson, and cannot wait for more both historical and contemporary. ( )

Poetic. Romantic. Humorous. Just some of the MANY ways that I would describe this fantastic addition to both the Love Finds You series AND Janice Hanna's amazing, God filled novels. They are all absolutely fantastic and with Poetry, Texas' charming, lovable characters, I was instantly pulled into the story and swept away by the stanzas of the story. An absolutely wonderful feeling. I loved being taken back to the early 1900's , seeing the sweet town of Poetry come to life, with all the shops and people. Janice Hanna has definitely got some masterful talents!

In Love Finds You in Poetry, Texas, we meet Belinda Bauer. Bless her sweet heart, she was so cute and sweet, and tried so hard to make everyone happy with her "marriage broker" business, but, well, it seemed that not all of the marriages were matches made in heaven. Especially when she was trying to match up her long time best friend, Georg Kaufman. Now THAT was fun to read about! It really had me laughing and smiling through the entire book. Seems that each bride that came for him....well, simply put, God had other plans for that man's life. And, poor Belinda, she just didn't know what to do when the brides would choose different husbands than the ones she matched them with! It was so fun to read the end results....well, you'll just have to read it for yourself, because I don't want to give away any spoilers!

If you're new to the Love Finds You series, please start with this one. It's got all the elements of a wonderful book: humor, romance, great characters, captivating plot line, God's love and so much more. Janice Hanna has taken a mail-order bride plot and mixed it with a mismatching twist to give her faithful fans a 5 star novel that is sure to win every readers heart! AWESOME job, Janice! ( )
