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.
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?
