Excellent Read!! "Love Finds You in Groom, TX" was such a great read. I was all set to read about a romantic cowboy hero, only to find that this cowboy hero works for the railroad, and if he does his job well, his heroine will be taken away from him! A derailment stops the following train that contains Anne Denning and her orphaned sisters, forcing a trainload of people to be housed in the tiny town of Groom, TX, the three Denning sisters to the home of Mrs. Maggie O'Farrell and her son, Jake - the last single man in Groom. What follows is a tale of finding home, finding love, and finding hope where there seemed to be none. Janice Hanna finds humor amidst what could be a dire situation, and always leaves me with a smile on my face! Read this one, and then go back and find the rest of her books in the "Love Finds You" series, and her books written as Janice Thompson! You'll be so glad you did! October 31, 2011

Janice does it again! I thoroughly enjoyed Janice Hanna's Love Finds You In Groom Texas. What a fun ride through 1914 in Groom, TX. Now I want to go there - just because. The characters she created were wonderful and you immediately start to care for them the moment you meet them. Little Emily is just a hoot and so realistic. Maggie, you just want to move in with her and get a hug. Then Jake, the last single guy. When you meet him it's hard to understand why he's single, but the story goes to show that God knows what He is doing when it comes to relationships. I'm a huge fan of Janice Hanna Thompson and can't wait to read more. This gal's "got it" when it comes to writing and getting humor in. When I put down her books, I smile at the memories of what I just read. Thanks Janice. August 19, 2011

Engaging from beginning to end Love Finds You in Groom, Texas is a light-hearted, engaging tale of love that encompasses not only the hero and heroine of the story, but the supporting cast as well. Jake, as the "last single man in town", and newly orphaned Anne, stranded in the town of Groom with her two young sisters after a train derailment, find themselves inextricably drawn to one another despite their circumstances. Headed for Dallas with her sisters in tow to live with an overbearing uncle, the train derailment sees 19-year-old Anne, 10-year-old budding author Emily, and shy 7-year-old Kate bundled up on a ranch with Jake's mother Maggie, a lovable mother-figure, who immediately makes them feel welcome and at home. Reluctant to continue their journey, Anne fights her growing attraction to Jake, Maggie's son, while Jake is overwhelmed by his feelings for Anne and can't bear to see her leave once the railroad is repaired. And when Jake's sisters-in-law meet Anne, they begin their own quest to pair up the lone bachelor and pretty gal from Denver. But when the girls' uncle arrives from Dallas to collect them, will they have to suddenly abandon their new haven in the Texas Panhandle? Fans of Karen Witemeyer and Mary Connealy will love the wit and charm of this down-home romance! August 5, 2011
