A Small-Town Bride
Hope Ramsay

Romance Contemporary

In A SMALL TOWN BRIDE, Hope Ramsay deftly pits Amy against her entire Lyndon family, in the most hysterical and yet heartwarming way of course. Otherwise it wouldn't be a Hope Ramsay tale. Watching Amy figuratively duck and poach to avoid having to volley any position with her family of over-achievers is the best use of dialog. Amy is going to have to develop a way to stand out and shine by honing in on one of her many attributes in order to finally find or establish a place in her very driven family. Amy's talents are well-hidden to all except a very few, including her cousin Danny and surprisingly her new boss Mr. Dusty McNeil. No one is more surprised than Dusty. You know they say good things come in small packages, which Dusty is discovering the more time spent in the company of Amy. Both Amy and Dusty feel they have something to prove. For once and for all, Amy wants to find something she is good at. There has to be something that can help her get the respect she craves from those she loves. Dusty is working hard to get the town to truly see him for all that he has accomplished and stop seeing him as his father's son. Once again a tale of a son living down his father's reputation, unfair and uncalled for. But there it is. Two young people fighting their way through the murky residue of degrading reputations while they find each other. Call me a sucker for a good romance, especially between a man built like Thor and an itty-bitty adorable Amy, Dusty's words not mine. Well it just can't get any better. But wait, this is Hope Ramsay's story to tell so let's not forget the reality stars, the rush wedding complete with bridezilla and her cohorts, and two funny dogs seemingly without any sense of control or restraint. A SMALL TOWN BRIDE is delightful, enchanting, charming, funny, and, yes, definitely stretches the envelope. Part of the Chapel of Love series which gets better and better.

SUMMARY

Amy Lyndon is tired of being the Poor Little Rich Girl of Shenandoah Falls. In her prominent family, she's the ordinary one - no Ivy League education and no powerful career. But when her father tries to marry her off, she knows it's finally time to stand up for herself, despite the consequences. Now that she's cut off from the family fortune, her first challenge is to fight her attraction to her handsome new boss. When Amy shows up looking for work with his landscaping crew, Dusty McNeil thinks there's no way such a pampered princess will ever get her hands dirty. But as Amy proves him wrong and gets down to the nitty gritty, Dusty's admiration turns to like, then lust - and then love. But can a high-society woman like Amy ever fall for a man like him?
