FIVE-STAR Review for Abundance from longandshortreviews.com
"This has the making of an unforgettable book. Abundance is in the caliber of Nora Roberts. There is a little bit of something for everyone. There’s drama, suspense, several heartwarming moments and a steamy romance.
The plot thickens as the story progresses. The writing style exemplifies careful attention to details. The cast of characters evolved as the reader got to know them.
The heroine, Natalie, experiences a misfortune “in the most unspeakable way imaginable”. That’s putting it mildly. My heart was broken for her daughter. I had a little bit of trouble getting past that plot thread because that’s such a sensitive subject. Regardless, it was inspirational to see Natalie rebuild her life.
The hero, Jack Kinsen, was almost too good to be real. I think he had to be written that way if Natalie was ever going to learn to trust in humanity and find herself again.
It was emotionally rewarding to watch Jack and Natalie’s love grow for each other. They make the saying “love conquers all” believable.
The book engaged my interest right away with a prologue and definitely held my attention throughout the story. I knew the suspense part was coming and I could hardly remain on my seat. I appreciate that there was an epilogue for me to bask in.
In conclusion I’d definitely recommend this book to my friends who enjoy to read a love story with an emotionally satisfying resolution."

OTHER FIVE STAR AMAZON AND GOODREADS REVIEWS FOR ABUNDANCE
You won't want to put it down! - K.J. Backer
5 of 5 stars
"Fans of Nicholas Sparks and Nora Roberts will LOVE THIS BOOK! Ms. Shanna Swenson truly knows how to weave a story.
This is not some light-hearted, erotic/cliché romance novel. THIS book captures and exposes the human heart--in all its glory and flaws--through her well-developed characters and their complex dynamics. You'll find yourself absolutely LOVING some of the characters (especially Jack, Natalie, and Dallie), and you'll find yourself utterly HATING the antagonist He is vile. I think I'll hate him forever.... Now, that's good writing, when it evokes such great emotion from the reader.
I honestly could not put this book down, and stayed up way too late to finish it! It has it all: SUSPENSE, romance, humor, love. It will leave you wanting more (and I've already purchased the sequel), while also leave you hugely satisfied and glad you took a chance on "Abundance". Fiction fans will love this-- Definitely not limited to only romance readers. The suspenseful, fast-paced plot will thrill you, and again, has a Nicholas Sparks/Nora Roberts feel to it!!
Make sure to look "Abundance" up!! Ohhhhh, and did I mention there are HOT cowboys!? ;)"
Such a great Cowboy Romance!! - Britney
5 of 5 stars
"Shanna is a new author to me and has now been added to my must read author list!
Abundance was an incredible cowboy romance! It had just the right amount of drama with a little added suspense but all the steamy love and romance you get with cowboys!
With everything Natalie and her daughter Dallie have been through, she ever excepted the strong, sexy cowboy Jack to come and save the day when she had finally hit her lowest of lows. But Natalie never knew he was also going to save her and bring her and Dallie back to life!
I loved everything about this book. It was such a great cowboy romance!!"

Romance at it's best! -Ashley
5 out of 5 stars
"Abundance is a heartfelt, deep and enthralling page turner. It leaves you begging for more. It pulls you into the characters lives and puts you right into the setting making you feel as if you are truly there. Beautiful written and enticing to the deepest desires. A story of a woman with a broken past and a heart who longs to be with the man who she truly deserves. Desire and passion run deep and it leaves your imagination running wild to the very last word."
Great Read- Kindle Customer
5 out of 5 stars
"Ms. Swenson is amazing. This story kept me interested until the last word. She introduced many characters and side stories, yet kept me interested. This book has romance, family, drama, and much more. I really liked how she portrayed the 4 year old daughter and surprised me with her gift. I am looking forward to her next book."
A book you will love! - Karla

Could not put it down!!! - CG
5 out of 5 stars
"This book was wonderful! Full of love, laughter, and suspense. I stayed up late reading it because I just had to see how it ended! I cannot wait to see the other works from this very talented author."
"Abundance was amazing. I couldn't wait to turn the page to see what was happening next. It was funny, romantic, and sad at times. Wish I had a cowboy like Jack! Can not wait for the next series to come out." - Linda R, a satisfied reader
"So so excited about this story and what it means for Ms. Swenson. She's an incredible new author and I can't wait to see what she puts out in the future. Abundance is one of those novels you can't stop reading. It is the perfect balance of romance and struggles that constantly leaves you waiting for the next move." - Brooke M.
"This book was a real page turner!! It really sparked my interest and I wasn't able to put it down!!!" - Brandy C.
"The chemistry and romantic tension between Natalie and Jack is logical, powerful, and real... and builds until the two absolutely cannot keep away from each other anymore!"- Danielle Novotny, Author of Remade
"In this intriguing romance, Swenson delivers and brings to life that it is possible for one to heal a broken heart after trauma and find love just when you think all hope is lost, and that family will always be there if and when you decide to come back home. Her writing depicts amazing details of the cast of characters with larger-than-life personalities and the environments they occupy as a way to draw the reader in and make them feel part of the story, themselves. This truly is a love story unlike the others, and I hope to hear more from this amazingly talented author on the rise!"
-C.B. Blankenship, Author of the Hazel Eyes Series
FIVE STAR AMAZON AND GOODREADS REVIEWS FOR RETURN TO ABUNDANCE
JD Park- Author of Coming Home
5 of 5 Stars
"I took a return trip to Abundance, TX in an ARC of Return to Abundance, the second standalone book in the Abundance series written by Shanna Swenson, and was not disappointed in my visit. Shanna has written another amazing story with the characters we first met in Abundance: An endearing romance novel. The MC’s Nate and Jordan, whom we previously and briefly met in the first book, pull at every heartstring you have as they both battle their demons while trying to find a way to love not only each other but themselves, flaws and all. Several of the characters from the first book make an appearance, and there is nothing I love more than an update of past book loves. This book felt more personal than the first Abundance, and after having gotten to know Shanna on a personal level, I could feel her coming through in her writing. Writing from personal experience can be a challenge, but Shanna does it in a way you can experience what she went through without having the focus taken away from the story. I would highly recommend “Y'all” take a mini vacation to Abundance and get to know all these flawed, lovable, and relatable characters, you won’t be disappointed."
Britney- Love me some hot cowboys!
5 of 5 stars
"Shanna knows how to write her cowboys!
Return to Abundance, the second book in The Abundance series, was just as good as the first book!
This time on our trip back to Abundance, TX we run into the trouble Nathan “Nate” Butler. He is a shell of man since after the tragedy that happened to his family (read the first book to get a look into what that may be😉).
He wasn’t expecting the sexy, strong and sassy Jordan to come into his life and get under his skin!
Does she have what it takes to bring back the old Nate?
I was hooked from the very beginning and loved every minute of this book! Absolutely loved how sassy and fierce Jordan is. If you love a good cowboy series or cowboy books in general, I highly recommend you read Shanna’s Abundance Series!"

Jennifer- Welcome back to Abundance!
5 of 5 stars
"If you loved the first Abundance book, then the return will be even better. Natalie's brother, Nathan, is struggling in the wake of the previous drama. Jordan, Natalie's best friend, is determined to save him from darkness. Cue a delightful tale of romance!
This is a bit of a Beauty and the Beast retelling, which I loved. Nate and Jordan are relatable, often funny, and painfully human as they learn to love each other and themselves. I loved this story and can't wait for my next visit to Abundance!"
Brooke- Beautiful sequel, in love with the characters
5 of 5 stars
"Return to Abundance is a captivating story of a man who has lost his way. I thoroughly enjoyed the details and further shaping of not only the main characters from the first book, but also the development of Nate as the main character in this novel. I literally could not stop reading and am very anxiously awaiting the third book. Thanks you Mrs. Swenson for another incredible novel."
