BLOSSOM STREET BRIDES by Debbie Macomber is book ten in her
Blossom Street series but, it could also be a stand
alone. This is the story
of Lauren. She works at the jewelry store and is dating
Todd who is a news
anchor for the local television station. She has been
dating him for a few
years and keeps waiting for him to propose. He comes up
with many
excuses until one day, Lauren has heard enough. She dumps
him and he
doesn't take it too easily. Right before she dumps Todd,
she learns her little
sister is pregnant. Lauren decides that her biological
clock is ticking away
and that is why she knows it's time to let Todd go.
Lauren decides to make a baby blanket for her niece/nephew
and goes to
Lydia's yarn shop, A Good Yarn to get the supplies. While
she is there she
meets Max, Bethanne's husband and his best friend, Rooster
Wayne. She
gets to talking to Rooster and explains to him that she has
a husband list.
It is a list of all the qualities she is looking for in a
husband. He actually
helps her with the list. This is where the fun begins for
these two. Rooster
is a rough and tough biker kind of guy while Lauren is
sophisticated and
classy. They are both instantly smitten with each other.
Bethanne's husband, Max is having a hard time dealing with
her ex
husband, Grant. He keeps trying to win her back even though
he was the
one who initiated their divorce. Max is currently living in
California with his
wine business being there and only sees Bethanne, who lives
in Seattle on
the weekends. It is driving him crazy that Grant won't
leave her alone and
is even using their daughter, Annie against her mother to
try and get
Bethanne to come back to him so they can all be a family
again. At first,
Max agrees to Bethanne's wishes, to let her handle it but it
is obvious that
Grant will stop at nothing until he gets her back. Finally,
Max steps in and
deals with Grant in his own way.
I love reading this series and BLOSSOM STREET BRIDES is a
perfect
addition. Debbie has a way of pulling you right in where
you feel as if you
are in the yarn shop with all the ladies, sitting right
there, knitting away with
them and getting all caught up in their lives. She gives
you a front row view
of their marriages and the troubles they are having. A
quick and enjoyable
read that pulls you right in from page one. Soon, you are
flipping the pages
madly because, like me, you have to know what is going to
happen to
these couples and if their love will survive. The deep
friendships these
ladies have will have you cheering for them throughout
BLOSSOM
STREET BRIDES.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber has won
the hearts of millions of readers with her moving and
inspiring stories. Now wedding bells are ringing in the
tight-knit community that gathers around A Good Yarn, a
store in a pretty Seattle neighborhood. Knitters come to the
store to buy yarn and patterns but somehow they leave richer
in friendship and love.
Lauren Elliott has waited years for her long-term boyfriend,
Todd, to propose, yet he seems more focused on his career
than their relationship. When Lauren learns that her younger
sister is pregnant before she herself even has an engagement
ring, she feels overjoyed yet disheartened. Knowing she
can’t put her future on hold, Lauren prepares to make a bold
choice—one that leads her to a man she never dreamed she’d
meet.
Newly married to her second husband, Max, Bethanne Scranton
is blissfully in love. But with Max’s job in California and
Bethanne’s in Seattle, their long-distance marriage is
becoming difficult to maintain. To complicate matters,
Bethanne’s cunning ex will do anything to win her back.
Lydia Goetz, too, is wonderfully happy with her husband,
Brad, though lately she worries about the future of A Good
Yarn. As she considers how to bring in business, she
discovers that someone has beaten her to the punch. Baskets
of yarn are mysteriously popping up all over town, with
instructions to knit a scarf for charity and bring it into
Lydia’s store. Never before has her shop received so much
attention, but who hatched this brilliant plan?
As three women’s lives intersect in unexpected ways, Lydia,
Lauren, and Bethanne realize that love heals every heart,
and the best surprises still lay ahead.
