THE CHRISTMAS WEDDING RING by Susan Mallery

Keeping in the theme of the season, here's a lovely Christmas story for you. This is a re-issue of a book that Susan Mallery published in 1998 and it was named Wedding Ring Promise back then. Now it has a new title as well as a new cover, enjoy!

Molly Anderson is having a bad life. Not only does her mother seem to hate her, her father is indifferent to her and her sister can't stand her. The love of her life, bad-boy Dylan Black, is moving away from town.

Before Dylan left, he gave her a wedding ring (that he was going to give to her sister) and promised her that when she is ready to go on an adventure, all she has to do is find him and give him the ring. With that he drove away on his motorcycle.

Years later, Molly's life seems to get worse and the only saving grace is that she and her sister are now on great terms. After having the most horrible week of her life that begins with her losing her job and her fiance leaving her for his young secretary. Molly feels trapped and just needs to get away. In packing her suitcase, Molly saw the ring that Dylan gave to her and an insane idea came to her head. Sticking with her new motto of "living with no regrets" Molly goes off to find her adventure.

Dylan Black is having a conundrum. He was able to start his own business of building and selling motorcycles and that makes him very proud but an offer to purchase his company has him thinking about what he should do.

The money is amazing and they would keep him on as an employee to work on all the bikes he can possible think of but something stops him from going through with it. A welcome distraction came in the form of little Molly Anderson the sister of the woman he once loved.

Now the two of them are off to an adventure where they discover surprisingly new things about each other and themselves. Read the exciting n story of self-discovery and love and it fits in with the theme of Christmas. Only 43 more days until Christmas!

+Susan Mallery is a nice author. I hate to say this, especially since I like her, but her stories are a little to mild for me. I have read three of her books and I always feel like if something is missing. Maybe it does not have as much conflict as I would like. Everyone was so excepting of everything. The most fun part was the punch to the face; which I know you would just LOVE.

Usually with a character like Molly, I would totally not like her because she is mopey about everything. The exception to Molly is that I understood where she was coming from. Her entire life the people who are suppose to love her for who she is was treating her like trash, won't you start believing them after a while.

Dylan situation was not do bad, is just that he was not asking himself the correct questions. He was so sweet from the very beginning. He made Molly feel safe and beautiful, some women need a man to realize their inner beauty and Molly is one of those women.

All in all, I had fun reading this book but I just wish it had a little more conflict to spice it up a little. The love scenes needed a good bit of spicing up as well for I skipped those parts. They were just not doing anything for me, it was just blah and their was a bit of repetition in the book.

HAPPY READING!

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.

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.

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...
