A MARCH BRIDE by Rachel Hauck

Here we are again with another installment from "A Year of Weddings Novella" series and this one is exciting. It's not everyday a girl can say that's she's marring a Prince!

Susanna Truitt is living the dream that almost every woman wants. She's going to become a Princess, not a self calmed one, but a real life Princess. She found her Prince in King Nathaniel II of Brighton Kingdom.

After finding her Prince in her own back yard all she had to do to marry him was:

1. Quit her dream job as a landscaper
2. Move a million miles away from her family and friends
3. Adapt a new life style
4. Learn new rules and conform to her new role as a
Princess

That is a lot to give up but Susanna thinks that it's all worth it once she has the love of her Prince.(she's way stronger than me). Now she has doubts because now Nathaniel does not look at her the way he used to and now she thinks that he regrets ever asking her to marry him.

To add a nail to the coffin that had Susanna flying back home to her parents is that in order for Susanna and Nathaniel to marry, she must renounce her citizenship to America before the wedding. This blow plus having many of her family bowing out of attending the wedding, Susanna sees it as too many signs that they should not wed and needed time to think.

Nathaniel loves Susanna, but laws are laws and they must be followed. Not having Susanna with him so close to the wedding date has him in a panic, but he has a responsibility to his people and to his country.

Would Nathaniel let duty and his pride stand in the way of losing the best thing that ever happened to him or would Susanna realize that she is giving up to much of herself for this marriage and end it. Find out in the next stressful installment of A Year of Weddings Novella, A March Bride.

Rachel Hack wrote a realistic story about what to really expect if you are going to marry a Prince. The lessons, the laws, the limitations that are put on you. Having advisers advice you all the time and the endless events that you have to attend, oh, I know that I could not do it. I never wanted to be a princess, I more wanted to play with my brother's remote control car that he stubbornly refused to let me borrow!

Susanna had it really though in this book, she had to give up everything in order to marry Nathaniel and it was not fair that he did not have to give up anything. Now when she runs away from all the pressure she has to endure he sits in his office and talks himself OUT of following her. Wuss!

He's was just going to let her go even after the "gift" she left him on her dresser. I would have packed my bags and gone after her. It's hard being a Prince but's it's even harder when you're in love.

I felt left out in some areas of the book. It felt like there was a book before this one seeing as how the book referred to some characters as if the readers are suppose to know about them already. Even some of the events made me feel that way, for instance, how Nathaniel and Susanna met! I'm sure it would have been a romantic story. If there is a book before this one, please let me know.

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...
