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...

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.

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...
