Swans Book Review

I was so excited to read this book, especially after the fiasco that happened between Rhys and Helen in the first book of the series, Cold-Hearted Rake. Lady Helen Ravenel has never dared to want anything out of life, especially after finding out the truth of her parentage. But now Helen wants Rhys, but the thing is, she has no idea how to handle any man, especially someone as worldly and handsome as Rhys, but Helen is determined to try.  Rhys Winterborne was not born into the upper classes. Even with his vast wealth and influence, he is not accepted into polite society. In order to gain this, Rhys must marry a lady of high rank. No woman stirs his blood as Helen does and with the advantage of her being the daughter of an Earl makes Helen perfect for him.   Of course, there are sinister forces that fall in their path of a happily ever after, but the question is, could their marriage last, especially when Rhys learns of Helen's secret? There is no se...

I adored this book. It was so insightful and fun to read. It covers four different types of people and the struggle they go through in life and how they overcame it. It's was just plain beautiful to read. This is a touching story of four friends, Hailey, Becca, Angie and Ella, and how modelling for Enchanted Bridal was a big part of their lives as well as their friendship. These four friends are about the have their lives turned upside down and I just grabbed my popcorn and went along for the ride. The four friends all had their own problems to go through. From learning to love your body, catching Mr Perfect, getting married and forgiveness. I was not sure that I would totally like this book and I was correct in my assumption. Instead, I loved it. I adored all the stories but Ella's story had me entertained the most. Ella's story was the most unusual yet heart breaking with the emotion behind it. I actually thought that it was not going to work out but it...

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...

Dun, dun, da dun, dun, dun, da, dun.  I hear wedding bells again and I can't get enough of it.  I've never been to a wedding, I know sad right, but I can experience them in novels like this one. It is very difficult, planning a wedding.  Everything must be perfect.  Perfect dress, perfect location, perfect flowers, perfect color arrangements, perfect everything.  But the most important thing to remember is the perfect groom. ( if you're a woman that is ) This seemed to be the case for Stella Carson.  Stella's wedding is in four weeks and she has everything except the groom.  Wanting to fight for his country, her fiance, Marshall Henderson went off to war and got in an accident where he was the only survivor. They were not able to see each other for a year. Now Marshall is coming back home and the happy reunion that Stella imagined did not come through. Even though the man who came back looks and sounds like Marshall, her Marshall did not come ...

I thought that this idea was really sound.  To have a book about a bride for each month of the year and by different authors.  I cannot be the only one to love this idea.  I was intrigued enough to read them, but unfortunately not in the correct order. Allie Andrews is cursed.  Not just her, her entire family is cursed and she could not be any more cursed than wearing the wedding dress that her grandmother, mother and aunt has gotten married in, more that once. On her wedding day, wearing that dress, that cursed dress that has plagued her family for generations, Allie knew that she could not do it.  She can't go through with the wedding and ruin his life, so in a state of self-sacrifice ( or so she tells herself ) Allie picks up herself and ran. ( Yes, like run-away bride ) You see, Allie's family has a long history of failed marriages and they don't just get married once, they do it over and over and over again.  It's hard to believe, but it's tru...

This is the first time that I have read anything from Julie James and it was very entertaining.  It was refreshing to read something that is like the other books I read but have it's own unique touched to it that made it quite an enjoyable read. Sidney Sinclair's time is running out, her biological clock is ticking as well as finding a date for her younger sister's wedding. After having been through a humiliation with the end of her own engagement, Sidney plans to protect herself from making the same kind of mistake again.   Sidney vows for no more men who are players, not secure in their jobs or have bad relationships with their parents.  She even came up with rules that she goes through on each date she takes, and believe me their were a lot of rules.  Sidney thought that she rules would keep her safe until she met  Vaughn Roberts. Vaughn Roberts was out to have coffee before meeting his brother when he me a sexy little red in the shop he was in. ...
