THE TEXAN'S PROMISE by Margery Scott is a 10 page short story (not including front- and end-matter).  The book description did a great job disclosing the brevity of this short story by noting the inclusion of excerpts of other books within this free short.Within so few pages, Ms. Scott did a splendid job bringing so many beautiful elements into play.  We see enough back-story to know the history between Mary and Garrett, the promise he made her, what had happened since, and the turning point that leads us to believe a beautiful courtship and new future lie ahead.  This short story is strong on themes of reunion, second chances, forgiveness, fresh start, romantic love that surpasses all.  It leaves us with a hopeful note that these two will find their way forward, together.Sensuality level: mildLanguage: clean (nothing offensive)Recommended to fans of historical fiction, love stories, short stories, historical romances.
