A FEBRUARY BRIDE by Betsy St. Amant

I thought that this idea was really sound.  To have a book about a bride for each month of the year and by different authors.  I cannot be the only one to love this idea.  I was intrigued enough to read them, but unfortunately not in the correct order.

 Allie Andrews is cursed.  Not just her, her entire family is cursed and she could not be any more cursed than wearing the wedding dress that her grandmother, mother and aunt has gotten married in, more that once.

 On her wedding day, wearing that dress, that cursed dress that has plagued her family for generations, Allie knew that she could not do it.  She can't go through with the wedding and ruin his life, so in a state of self-sacrifice (or so she tells herself) Allie picks up herself and ran. (Yes, like run-away bride)

 You see, Allie's family has a long history of failed marriages and they don't just get married once, they do it over and over and over again.  It's hard to believe, but it's true.

 Two months later, Allie's best friend tracks her down to tell her her big news.  She is going to get married and she wants Allie to be her Matron of Honor. It seems like a good idea except that her friend is the sister of the man she left standing at the alter.

 In order to get through this, Allie must come face to face with the man she "saved".  Would she be able to do this, or would her shame keep her away?

 Betsy St. Amant got the ball rolling for me for A Year of Weddings Novella series.  I love how she started of with the wedding and ending with a wedding or two.  She made me not totally 
despise Allie for leaving a perfectly great man at the alter and breaking his heart.

 Some parts was just not realistic.  I mean come on, how can Allie leave someone at the alter and when she comes back home,which is a small town, no one says anything about it.  No one was talking about her behind her back and bad mouthing her.  The most unrealistic of them all is how she was welcomed back with open arms into the same family she dissed when she ran out on their son?  Can you explain that one to me please.

 Beside that, the book had me wondering what was going to happen next and I'm glad that Allie got over herself and did what she was suppose to do in the first place.

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it.  Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

MY CURVY VALENTINE by Sugar Jamison

This book is tied with Gentlemen Prefers Curves for the best book in this series.  Maggie is such a beautiful person, but she is also clueless. I could tell that she was has been married to the same guy for years before the both of them even knew it. Deciding to quit her high paying job as a bio-medical engineer and to follow her fashion dreams by working in a clothing store that caters to the full figured woman like herself. You might think that Maggie Calhoun must be out of her mind, especially since this all came about with her parents divorce. And you would be right, Maggie is out of her mind.  Out of her mind in bliss.  This is the first time in her life that she is doing something for herself, and she plans to enjoy it.  That is until her brother's best friend, Alex, moved his bakery beneath her apartment. Every morning she is awakened by sexual dreams that include whatever is being made in the bakery each morning.  Her dreams o...

WICKED BOND by Sawyer Bennett

Finally, we come to Bridger's story and I must admit, it was not what I was expecting.  Bridger Payne is a walking enigma that no one can quite figure out.  Even his best friend don't know the full story of where Bridger came from. In the Silo, Many want him but not can have him, well not the real him anyway. That's because Bridger lives with so much pain, a pain he has no reason to get rid of since the pain is what makes him survive. If you've read the books from the series you would know Bridger. He helped each and every one of my lovable guys to get their head out their arse and go after their women. You would think that a man that gives such good advice would also take his own preaching, but no such luck. Bridger more believes in happily ever after for everyone other than him. In his mind, he's too f*cked up to be helped and he's learned to accept that, but then Maggie was unexpectedly dumped in his care and Bridger found emotion he's neve...
