Trey Sheenan's finally released from prison after four
years for an
accidental death while defending a pregnant woman being
beaten by her
boyfriend. Trey has always been the gorgeous "bad boy"
since a child.
Coming home to Marietta, Montana presents tons of
concerns. His four
brothers are happy to see him return, but most of the town
isn't. Trey is
desperate to see his 5-year-old son, TJ and McKenna
Douglas, the
woman he has loved all his life. Hoping to share their
lives together with
their son, his knee jerk reaction to step in and protect,
blew their lives to
shreds. It's been two years since he has seen his son.
To his surprise, upon reaching town, Trey learns his
true love is due to
marry a safe, stable man who will become father to his
son. Arriving at
the church as McKenna is about to make the walk down the
aisle, he
convinces her to give him just five minutes to discuss his
place in his son's
life after she marries. If TJ hadn't recognized his
father and demanded to
go to him, things might have come down differently. As it
was Trey, along
with his son and the kidnapped prospective bride, are set
on a course to
satisfy his one wish just to spend Christmas with the son
he loves more
than life.
Somewhere along the journey McKenna relives all the
reasons
she both loves and fears the young man she fell in love
with when she
was only fifteen. Trying to prove he is a new mature
adult that can be
considerate and thoughtful of everyone else is confusing
to her that he
has truly changed. But can they feel the young love they
once did and
carve themselves into a happy, caring family?
THE KIDNAPPED CHRISTMAS BRIDE is book three of the
Taming of the Sheenans series and was one of
those stories that I couldn't put down once started until
that very last
page was turned. It is refreshing to read of a young love
that is so strong
it can last through the worst of times. I really loved
this read and would
definitely recommend it to anyone that wants a true
emotional love story
that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy for a time to
come. I have not
had the pleasure of reading any works from Jane Porter but
can assure
you, THE KIDNAPPED CHRISTMA BRIDE will not be the last. I
love her style of writing and the terrific plot.
All he wants is a Christmas memory...
Trey Sheenan has cultivated his reputation as Marietta’s
resident bad boy, until one day he lets things go too far
and he loses everything—his freedom, his fiance McKenna
Douglas, and his infant son.
McKenna has loved Trey since they were kids, but she’s had
enough. When Trey is sent away for five years, McKenna is
determined to do what’s right for her and baby TJ, which
means putting her mistakes—namely Trey—behind her, and
move on.
When Trey is released early, he returns to Marietta
determined to beg McKenna’s forgiveness and become the
father TJ needs him to be, only to discover that he’s too
late. McKenna’s marrying local insurance agent Lawrence
Joplin in a candlelight Christmas wedding.
Or is she?
Once again, Trey risks everything, but this time it’s for
love….and the memory of one perfect Christmas together as
a
family.
