Reuben thought he’d spend the rest of his life with Beth, until she broke his heart six months ago. He’s not even remotely over her, so he’s devastated to hear she’s getting married—this weekend.

Now he’s faced with the ultimate question: what should he do on the day of the wedding? Grieve? Disrupt the ceremony? Or do everything in his power to pretend it’s not happening?

Enlisting the help of his friends, Reuben is all set to mark the occasion with distraction on a grand scale: Ferraris, champagne, and a VIP box at the races.

But on the morning of the Big Day, Reuben gets a phone call that not only derails his elaborate itinerary: it may well change his life completely…

For fans of David Nicholls, Nick Hornby and the agony uncle of heartbreak himself, a story that asks: just how far would you go to get over the love of your life?

MY REVIEW OF THIS BOOK:  4 STARS

This was a quirk but funny short story. That had me shaking my head wondering if I was going to be able to keep reading it. But then the humor kicked in, in the story. I kept reading and found that I liked it !!
I found the author humorous too in the way he interjected himself at the end !!
I would read another of his stories, just to check them out !!

BOOK: Wanted Bounty Hunter: Sweet Western Historical Romance (Brides of Cedar Falls Book 2) Kindle Edition by Jovie Grace (Author)

               

    

 Book 2 of 9: Brides of Cedar Falls 

A wealthy heiress hires a rugged bounty hunter to pose as her fiancé in this sweet and swoony opposites-attract historical romance!

Thanks to a lavish inheritance, Rachel West can finally afford to follow her dreams and open the Cedar Falls Finishing School for Young Ladies. Unfortunately, a former co-instructor from Boston follows her to her hometown, claiming a deathbed promise to look after her. All too soon, he's pressuring her to marry him, making her fear he's only interested in getting his hands on her money.

Bounty hunter Boone Cassidy is accustomed to far more dangerous assignments than helping a spoiled rich girl discourage an unwanted suitor — even one with a string of bad debts and a bounty on his head. He fully expects the snobby headmistress to send him packing the moment she catches sight of his rough and tough exterior. Instead, an unexpected attraction ignites, making him dream about impossible things like happily-ever-after with the woman who writes his paycheck.

This book was previously in the Silverpines Series and has since been rewritten and re-edited to be part of the BRIDES OF CEDAR FALLS — uplifting, feel-good romance stories full of faith, hope, love, and cowboys!

 What a great story of faith, overcoming dangerous challenges and unexpected love !!!

Rachel and Boone shouldn't have fit but they did !!! At first glance, people shouldn't have liked them.  And at first people weren't sure about Rachel.  Was she a snooty rich woman trying to change their little town that is still recovering? Or does she have their best interests at heart ?  And Boone.  He's this BIG, scary bounty hunter that seems to loom menacingly over them, although times that really isn't his intention either.  But he's also good at his job, and those on the wrong side of his mission should be afraid !!!

 I loved both of them and all of the motley crew that gets added.  They had great times of peace and growth.  But Rachel and Boone soon bond together to fight their adversary.  This a story of faith in ways that present a gentle way of daily living without shoving anything down your throat.  I'm giving it 5 STARS !

My review Title is :  Rachel and Boone shouldn't have fit but they did !!!

Description

Natalia Melnikova and Jake Wilder knew a foreign marriage would be challenging, but neither foresaw it would lead to murder.

Seeking a new life, Natalia uses a correspondence service to find an American husband. Unbeknownst to her, the agency is mob-controlled, and she is forced to keep her kidnapped young son a secret from Jake, a Silicon Valley executive. She is promised her son’s return—if she follows orders and hands over the life insurance proceeds after Jake’s death. But when Jake learns of the plot, he and Natalia embark on a dangerous, bloody mission to reclaim her son.

In Russian Bride by Doc Richter, we witness the lengths to which ordinary people in love will go to save their family.  AMAZON LINK  5 STARS FROM ME

MY REVIEW-   

I feel in love with Natalia and although Jake Wilder took a little longer. It wasn't long because he was so kind, and a gentleman when he was with  Natalia. And even before he met her and had only conversed with her in labored letters.  He knew almost no  Russian and Natalia just knew a little.  Over time, their romance grew.

I was pulling for them quickly and got involved in their story strongly and also in the fate of Natalia's little boy Alexandr and her mother.  I wanted all of them to win and be together so badly. But of course, for every high there was a devastating, believable low. This story was intense, drawing more people into the fight for Jake to get his family back, safe and sound.  Along the way many injustices are righted and the right of the evil people and their systems rounded up or destroyed.  With more to come.  

Many people counseled Jake to give up because it was yoo dangerous.  But he refused, this the is family he always wanted. No matter what risk he had to take. Jake already saw Alexandr as his son. !

There's a happy ending, but you'll never guess how they get there.  A thriller to the happy end.

 I want more by this author.  I'm now following him on Amazon. My title for this book is :

BOOK - A Captive Situation (Kings of New York) by Tijan (Author) Part of: Kings of New York (3 books)

                          

AMAZON LINK

New York Times bestselling author Tijan delivers a bold romance about two people wrestling with emotional trauma, thrown into a deadly—and heated—power dynamic when the mafia comes after them both.

Every bride dreams of her wedding day.

Today was supposed to be that day for me, except it’s not me marrying my college sweetheart.

My best friend is doing that. Or, well, my ex–best friend.

Instead, I’m over a thousand miles away, riding the subway in a city where lost people come to dream.

Me—I’m just hoping to distract myself from my heartbreak.

That is, until I met Jake Worthing.

Grumpy.

Hot.

A total jerk.

Did I mention hot?

Also, extremely presumptuous.

Just because I look like I’m a thought away from a total meltdown does not mean I need an ambulance.

He had the audacity to ask if I needed medical treatment.

Well, good riddance to him.

I don’t ever have to see him again.

Except, well, I do when I’m taken to the police station for a total misunderstanding.

He walks in and…gah. He’s the same that I remember from our first meeting.

Brooding. Still gorgeous. (The universe is not fair sometimes.)

He’s stirring up emotions that I didn’t know were still inside of me.

Then someone tries to shoot him and I’m a witness, and…er, how is it that I’m the one being kidnapped?

And by Jake?

Now I’m heated for a whole different reason.

If I get myself out of this captive situation, I’m going to reign down my own destruction starting with Jake Worthing.

I just have to survive first and, also, not get my heart broken. Again.

 

MY BOOK REVIEW- TITLE: 

It was a great Train Wreck to Ride !!!

This story gets a 5 Starts on my review !!!

Jake, whooho, hot enough have to fan yourself  like the story said ! Sawyer too,  but her ex did a great job of wearing her down and thinking she was trash !  And then he treated her like trash by kicking her to the curb, stealing everything she had.  And she didn't see it as spousal abuse until she met Jake ! Then it was like two matches igniting one stick of dynamite !!! Hot anger , yep they both had that !Although Sawyer had a soft side that Jake hasn't discovered yet. Kill to keep what he loves !! No problem for him. Neither has time for love, but they find it.  And so do some fierce family members  !!! Some fighting for them and some fighting against them.  It was a great Train Wreck to Ride !!!

 Noelle Joy stopped celebrating Christmas ten years ago, when Trevor Holden skipped out on their long-planned Christmas Eve wedding. He destroyed her trust in men, crushed her belief in God, and left her cynical about love.

Even as she finds an unexpected peace in facing ghosts from the past, her fiercely private client disturbs her. Michael Holliday is kind and considerate, but far too handsome…and hauntingly familiar.Holliday didn’t choose Noelle to make his home a Christmas wonderland by accident. She’s the only one who can do the job he has in mind—and once she’s in his mansion, he never wants to let her go. But he’s hiding a secret that could destroy any chance of a relationship with the beautiful decorator.A false persona. A shattering secret. Can love break down these insurmountable walls?

MY REVIEW-   TITLED :Christmas Never Looked Better !!!

This was such an engaging Christian Christmas story. I loved both of the main characters and their emotions !!!
Noelle had shut herself off from everyone . becoming known even in her successful business, as an ICE QUEEN !
One of the things that i liked was when this came up :
Noelle Joy struggled for breath that seemed inadequate.  Michael Holliday was dubbed Holliday the Phantom Philanthropist.
Michael had some seriously dangerous secrets !!!
The story had a great outcome which I also enjoyed  !!!
