YOU'LL BE MINE by Marie Force takes the reader back to Green Mountain for
the wedding of Cameron and Will. Cameron is the girl from the city who hit
the town moose, Fred. Will's family, the Abbott's, are hysterical and the
banter between all the siblings will have you laughing out loud. Cameron's
dad, Patrick, plays a bigger part in this story once he meets Mary, the office
manager from the store. Marie Force knows perfectly how to write about
big, loud families and makes you feel like you are right there at the wedding
with them all.
MIDNIGHT BET by Jodi Thomas is all about romance and lots of suspense.
It's the story of two cousins who get shot at and both are convinced that
they are the target. Rick Mattheson is a small town lawyer who helps put
criminals away and he makes lots of enemies. He is still in love with Trace, a
US Marshall who left him behind. This is his chance to get her back. Lizzie
Mattheson is the weird and kooky cousin of the family. Who could possibly
want to kill them? The biggest danger is in losing their hearts - Rick to an
old flame and Lizzy to an old friend she'd never noticed before.
WRAPPED AROUND YOUR FINGER by Shirley Jump is the story of Maggie, who
has been issued a dare by her childhood friend Rachel. The dare is that
Maggie comes to Rachel's wedding with a hunky guy as her date. She
must flirt with said guy and maybe take the ultimate dare, fall in love! Well
if anyone knows Maggie they know this will never happen, but Maggie has
never been able to resist a dare. She decides to take the dare and asks
her coworker, Nick, who has a reputation of a love them and leave them
kind of guy. He wants the opportunity to prove to Maggie he is a changed
man, but at what cost? What if he loses Maggie forever?
CAROLINA HEART by Virginia Kantra is the story of Max, the geek in high
school and the girl he loved. Max always loved Cynthie but she never knew
it. Cynthie has two children and had married the wrong man. She is now
alone with her kids and meets Max at the aquarium where her youngest
daughter disappears from the group. Max finds the girl and is helping her
find her group. Cynthie doesn't recognize Max, but he sure recognizes her.
He wants to be with her but she is too focused on being a good mom and
doesn't want her girls to get attached to him and then he may leave her
like the rest have. But Max is determined and won't give up. Cynthie finally
realizes he is exactly what she and her girls need.
I really enjoyed all four stories. They all held my attention and left me
wanting more. All of the stories are part of a series, but you can read each
one as a standalone and not be lost. ASK ME WHY is a quick read and I
read the whole book in one afternoon. I like reading anthologies because it
is a great way to get introduced to new authors without investing a whole
lot of time. I've read Marie Force before and love her books, but now I
have three new authors that I really enjoyed and can explore their other
books.
New novellas in the Green Mountain, Harmony, Southern Belle
Book Club, and Dare Island series!
From four contemporary romance stars, stories filled with
first kisses, first dances, and happily-ever-afters…
You’ll Be Mine by Marie Force: Will Abbott and Cameron Murphy
are finally ready to tie the knot—as long as family, friends
and a love-struck moose don’t get in the way.
Midnight Bet by Jodi Thomas: When cousins Rick and Lizzy
Matheson of Harmony, Texas, wind up on the wrong side of an
attempted shooting, they know they’re in deep. Still, the
biggest danger is losing their hearts—Rick to an old flame and
Lizzy to an old friend she’d never noticed before…
Wrapped Around Your Finger by Shirley Jump: Maggie McBride is
just one of the guys in the hard-knocks world of construction.
Until she’s dared to ask Nick Patterson to a wedding, enticing
her to knock down some walls—and risk falling in love.
Carolina Heart by Virginia Kantra: Determined to leave her
wild past behind, Cynthie Lodge is forging a new life for
herself and her daughters—one that’s man-free and drama-free.
But when her high school crush shows up on Dare Island, he’s
determined to make her break her rules…
I'm familiar and read/enjoy three of the authors reviewed but had not met Shirley Jump. Now I want to, so thank you! (Kathleen Bylsma 12:52pm August 30, 2015)
