A MAY BRIDE by Meg Moseley

Okay, not quite sure what to say about this book.  What exactly do I say about a book that I did not enjoy at all.  Is it mean and unfair that I think this.  

 Ellie Martin has been saving for her wedding all her life.  She wants a big traditional wedding with the puffy white dress, and all the frills and trills, just like the one her younger sisters is having (at the expense of their mother).  She has it all planned out ... except she has no groom. 

 Needing to de-stress from her life, Ellie goes to her secret garden near a church.  She found this place by accident and the garden was calling out to her.  Gardening relaxes her, so anytime she needs to relax, she goes there, without the knowledge of the owners.

 On one particular day, when she was gardening; a wedding took place.  Not wanting to be discovered, Ellie hides and watches the beautiful ceremony.  That is how she officially met Grey Whitby.

 Wanting to share the good news with her family, Ellie brings Grey home to her mother and sister where Grey was instantly disliked by her mother.  Ellie's mother was badly burned when she fell hard and fast for a smooth talker city boy and had to have a shot gun wedding when she became pregnant.

 A few years later, he left her and their two small children, never to be seen or heard from again.  Being heart broken, she does not want her children to suffer the same fate she had and taught them that they have to wait to get to know the man before even thinking of having sex, much less get married.

 Things don't go that way with Ellie and Grey.  Their relationship was on the fast track to marriage.  Would Ellie's mother allow her daughter to make the same mistake she did?  Would Ellie finally stand up to her mother and her controlling ways or would she loose Grey forever?  Find out in the May installment of A year of Weddings Novella.

 +Meg Moseley did alright but I did not like this book in the series.  The story was not believable to me at all.  Ellie was annoying and Grey did not have much substance.  I honestly don't know what to say about this book, I really don't.

 This was the story in a nut shell, Ellie falls in love with Grey. Grey is a city boy but acts like he was born in the country.  The mom does not like nor trust him.  Ellie marries him anyway.  The End.

 Usually a book gives me something to work with but I did not connect with these characters at all.  Ellie was to "go with the flow" and thought that by getting married she would not have to work again. 

 Ellie and Grey fought over every small concern and Grey's burst of anger were spontaneous and did not fit with the character the author was trying to create.  I even thought that she would break up with him because he was so not "there" in the story. 

 This book just did not do it for me and I was left hoping for something more.

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...

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...
