TEXT ME by Rein Bevan

This story was cute but not very believable.  In this day and age, who in the world is going to put their phone number in a newspaper to acquire a "fake date". Ericka was dumped via text by her boyfriend.  Now he's her boss and Ericka wants to go to the office Christmas party with a date to hide that she still has feelings for Greyson, her ex. Grayson, on the other hand, broke up with Ericka for one of the most ridiculous reasons I have ever heard of.  Right after he did it, however, he realised his mistake and wanted her back. I mean seriously.  This story was jammed packed with so many cliches and it was obvious which direction the book was going and how it was going to end. This book brought nothing new to the romance world and the ending was not a satisfactory one. The pace of all the events in the book was moving so quickly that you can barely enjoy the romance that was blooming between Ericka and Greyson.  It turned from E...

YOURS FOR CHRISTMAS by Susan Mallery

The best love stories happen around Christmas and this is just one of the many.  The characters in this book will just grasp your heart and not let go. Bailey Voss has got it bad.  Bailey is crushing on an ex-football player named Kenny Scoot,  but she knows that he is out of her league.  Kenny only dates super thin, well endowed women, that are mostly models and actors.  Bailey knows that she does not stand a chance at catching Kenny's attention, seeing as how she is a single mom and battling to lose that extra twenty pounds, but hey, a girl can day dream.   Things change when the mayor of Fool's Gold roped Kenny and Bailey to "volunteer" to run a toy drive. Bailey got to see the sweet, generous and kind side of Kenny and that coupled with his ruggedly good looks, Bailey was falling and falling hard.  To bad Kenny already told her where they stand. Having gone through losing someone important to him, Kenny Scott has vowed to never again dat...

A NOVEMBER BRIDE by Beth K. Vogt

I did not really feel for this book.  I especially did not like the heroine in it too, she was to full of herself in an awkward way.  She thought about herself way to much for my liking. Sadie McAllister is the star of her own cooking show. Well, she is the star of her own cooking show in her head. She really is a private chef, and when she is alone in the kitchen she talks to her imaginary audience and look into the secret cameras. Does she sound crazy, yes, but it's her dream and you don't mess with someone's dream.  Her life was going fine and on a schedule, just the way she likes it, until a family she cooks for is moving away and wants her to come with them. She would get a higher salary and a chance at teaching at a school.  Not really having a reason to stay, Sadie considers it.  The only thing holding her back is her best friend Erick Davis.  Erick has a thing for Sadie ever since middle school.  When he made a move, Sadie did everyt...

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 ne...

WINTER BRIDES: Three Novellas in one

DECEMBER BRIDE In a December Bride, Alright, I read this part of the series after A February Bride and it was okay, I enjoyed a February Bride better but this was good in it's own way. Seth Murphy is in trouble.  He found the perfect woman in Layla O'Reilly, but his best friend beat him to the punch and asked her out first.  If that was not bad enough, his best friend leaves Layla for her cousin and now Layla is putting all the blame on him since he introduced the two. How can Seth fix this, read and find out. Having no date for the wedding of her witch of a cousin and the fiance she stole from her.  Layla was desperate and in a fit of poor helplessness agreed to go to the wedding with the man that made this all happen ( in her twisted mind any way ). Things don't go as plan when a marriage was announced out of duress but it was all a misunderstanding.  Things go from bad to worse before anything can be cleared up and now Seth and Layla are "pretend" enga...

AN OCTOBER BRIDE by Katie Ganshert

Now this is the type of fake wedding I can approve of.  Is your face like, WHAT? right now, well my explanation comes in the form of this review. While putting the mail on her father's desk, Emma Tate accidentally knocked over his day planner book and a piece of paper fell out.  On the paper was her father's bucket list and everything was crossed out; all except one.  The one that was not marked of was to walk Emma down the aisle. Shocked my this information, Emma knows that her father does not have much time in this world and wants to do this for him.  But who would be her groom?  She cannot call her ex-fiance of two years for this, that's just cruel. Help comes in the most surprising place in the form of Jake Sawyer, a life long friend of hers.  He was the one to "propose" to her and set this whole idea in motion. With this secret only between the two of them, can they really pull of a fake wedding and fool not only her parents, ...

A SEPTEMBER BRIDE by Kathryn Springer

I got approved to review A July Bride, but I already read this one and in the natural order of things, I'm reviewing this one first.  Hope none of you are too disappointed by me for not reviewing the books in the correct order. Ever think that you need a second chance, or even a chance to feel like you belong.  Amy Price has that feeling, which was more like a longing to belong.  After the life she had, I ca understand why. The most wonderfully unexpected thing happened that allowed her to curb her longing. A friend she met from an online book club, convinced her to move to her hometown of Red Leaf and run her bookstore since she was about to retire. Feeling like all her prayers has been answered, Amy accepted and packed her bags moved to the cute little town.  In no time at all, Amy was welcomed into the bosom of the town and it felt as if she was there for years.  Everyone accepted her, everyone but one. Jessie Kent does not trust the new little imp...
