These two characters have chemistry, only Isabella doesn't want to be sold the hottest rake in the ton. The story is a little over the top at times and I guess it's meant to be funny, but it's not. The story is well written and the characters are compelling. It's an enjoyable story.
This story is a little bit whimsy, and these two never meet each other til the wedding. As they work through their marriage, they learn to love each other, Of course, there is a third party that interferes with their marriage, makes for a little bit of suspense. This is fun story and the writing is creative.
This story starts out sad with a woman desperate for her family. She marries the mayor's son, and things start to get strange. This story has some very dark moments, but the action will keep you interested in what the mayor is doing and why all the ranches in the area are in desperate straits. The best part is when love gives the mayor's son a backbone.
This story started off really well, but quickly deteriorated as I continued to read. The plot was a good idea, but not designed very well. There are too many holes, and why wouldn't the Bryce claim their was a prior understanding. The villain is allowed to get away with their evil ways, even though we got a happily ever after. This story is very disappointing.
This story starts out different as Nora and Mary come to Cripple Creek to start life over with their friend, Jessamine. Mary falls in love with the town doctor, Tobias. He is overseeing her pregnancy while she settles into Cripple Creek. This story is about gossip and assumptions. Mary should be grateful that Tobias is a wonderful forgiving Christian, because what she subjects that man to could hurt his reputation as a doctor. The story is okay, but there is not any real great writing, but it's a nice short story to pass the time.
This is a strange little story about selfishness, determination, and how to ruin yourself. The story really centers around the villain instead of the main characters. It's about how jealousy turns into vindictiveness and how when love triumph's, you can be exposed for all the evil things that you instigated. Diana and Oliver are not hard to love, because they have the music which binds two souls together. The story had an unexpected turn at the end, because the aristocracy never acts like Oliver did, but desperation and anger can make one act outside of ourselves. As Helen learned, blackmail and vindictiveness never pay.
This has got to be the worst who-dun-it. It's a case of evil step-mother and evil step-sister. Nothing makes sense in this story until her suitor decides to investigate Mariah's illness. The action begins there and concludes with the supposedly stunning confession. I was not surprised at all. The murderers flee and are let go. If anything, the ending is horrible and justice is not served, and our couple live happily ever after in relative ignorance and joy.
This story very whimsical and characters are over the top. If it was meant to be funny, the story might have been a lot better. The game, they played was dangerous and if Arthur hadn't fallen in love with Sarah; it could have ended disastrously. The characters were all written with a 2D personality, having no depth to their characters. Although the author tried to show depth of feeling, she failed, especially between our main characters. It was an excellent plot, but if the characters had more depth, it would have been more plausible and less whimsical.
This story reads like a Lifetime movie. It starts in the present and returns to the past. When you are done, you've lived a lifetime of love and memories. Life is not always perfect, but marriage takes work. This is what the Woolworth's lunch counter was to Susan and Frank. A place to continue to take time for themselves and work to move their marriage forward. I remember the Woolworth's Lunch Counter and their $2.95 meal special. The story brought back a wonderful time for me, and days long gone. The characters are well written and their life is written in a compelling manner. I was left with a sense of peace and a life well loved.
I'm not sure about a miracle. Just a good hearted man hopelessly in love with a woman who needs serious wooing. There is a lot of weird stuff going on and a father who tries to control his son. There's not a lot of real action, but a lot of kindness and love. The story for me is just average and is not a page turner.
This story is hilarious right from the very beginning. The characters are sometimes over the top, especially our bride. Even the first encounter between our main characters is funny. The story is light-hearted and filled with a sort of joy about marriage, love and what makes one happy. This is an inspirational romance and how two souls make things work with God's help.
This story is every Happily Ever After's nightmare. This is an affair born of sin and ends the same way. It's a nightmare for the one left behind and all parties bear the blame. I wish I could at least say it was well written, but the truth is it was not well thought out. This story could have ended badly, but there is no way this story could have ended right. The characters were well written, but bad behavior for bad behavior doesn't make anything right.
This is a quaint little who-dun-it with a reputation and love at risk. Mr. Frierson must find out who is sullying his name, and attempting to make him out a thief. His romantic interest in Darcy's daughter, Sophia, is at risk. She believes him and wants to help him, but cannot have an association with him, if he is branded a thief. The story is fun and figuring the thief out was easy. Things are not always what they seem, especially those closest to us.
This story starts off with being jilted at the altar. It then proceeds with a distraught bride driving away in a snowstorm. Meet Chad, Rachel's best friend's brother, who hiding away in the same cabin. Sparks fly, but these two become a team for survival as the snowstorm grows worse. It just goes to show that our hearts know better, than what is expected of us, and what we think our parents want for is actually what we want for ourselves, happiness.
