A JUNE BRIDE by Marybeth Whalen

I don't believe this.  This series was going so good for me and then this book came along and put a snag in the series for me.  This book did not live up to the standard of the other books and I will tell you why.

 Wynne Hardy (a woman) had her heart broken by her fiance who she has been going out with for years.  Wynne thought that the best way to get over her heart break and start over is by signing up for a dating television show (huh).

 The television show is called "Rejection Connection" where she met Andy.  She choose him over all the other guys and then he purposes to her on national television. What is a girl to do than say yes.(right)

 Not knowing if she really wants to marry Andy, Wynne tries to convince herself that it was the right thing to do and goes along with the world wind that is her wedding. Which by the way is sponsored by the producers of the show and would be aired live for everyone to see.

 Things get even more complicated when a wannabe past reality show star attaches herself to Wynne trying to get back her 15 minutes of fame and puts further chaos in her already chaotic life. 

 Wynne feels as if she and Andy are slipping further and further away and when her ex-fiance, Steve, walks back in her life I'm shocked that she did not blow a gasket and faint from all the pressure.  What's a girl to do in this situation, should she go ahead with the wedding as planned or would Steve convince her to give him another chance?  Find out in a June Bride.

 +Marybeth Whalen failed me.  Her characters where two dimensional and flat; they had no real substance to them and I did not connect with anyone in this story.

 To me Wynne was very problematic, how can anyone thing that they can fall in love with someone on a television show.  Then before she gets to really know Andy, like a fool he proposes and she accepts.  Instead of getting to know more about Andy she just goes along with everything, everyone says, no questions asked.

 I was like, seriously get a backbone lady.  I was with her with the heartbroken thing until I found out the truth and I realized that Wynne is in a hell of her own making.  The ending did not make much sense to me and I find that Steve should have left her alone and go his own path.

 But he loves her and she loves him, it blows but that is the truth.  Pertaining to a June bride, it came like an after thought and this book just did not do it for me and I hope with all my heart that the next book in the series picks up for this one.  This is the harshest review I have ever written (I think), but I wanted to give my honest opinion.

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

CRASH AND BURN by Rachel Lacey

This book was not the usual Rachel Lacey book and I should know, I've actually read all of them.  This is a story I've not read before and it puts to light what your brain thinks about when you think that you're about to die. Isa Delgado is terrified of flying and now she has to step foot into her first ever plane ride to help a rescue dog that only responds to her. The rescue is a husky dog named Maya who likes to run away when things get rough.  This does not help Isa with her fear of flying but the hunk who was her pilot might help matters a bit. Take off was not so bad and it relaxed Isa to see Maya calm during the flight.  Just when she thought that flying might not be so bad, everything goes horribly wrong. Nate lives to fly.  He's been flying for as long as he can remember. That's why he did not foresee any problems in flying a lady and her dog to their destination. Things don't go as planned when in the middle of their flight, shit hit the fa
