A June Bride

A June Bride written by Marybeth Whalen was not as enjoyable to read as the previous novellas in the A Year of Weddings series.

The author tells the tale of Wynne Hardy, a woman who after a breakup  becomes part of a realty show.  Although Wynne chooses a man to marry, she learns that life is not a bed of roses.

When her new fiance becomes involved with another realty show star and her ex-boyfriend re-enters the picture, Wynne is faced with an important decision to make!

Stuck Together

Stuck Together is the final book in the Trouble In Texas series by Mary Connealy. 

I have always enjoyed reading Mary Connealy's novels; however, reading Stuck Together proved difficult for me.  I was not drawn into the storyline until I was about 100 pages into the book!

I have not read the first 2 books in this series yet; however, this last book seemed to draw all 3 books together to a final conclusion.

Until I Found You

Until I Found You is the latest novel by Victoria Bylin.  She tells the story of Kate Darby, who must leave her promising career to go to the aid of her grandmother Leona, who has just experienced a stroke.  When Kate meets Nick Sheridan on her way into town, her life is changed forever!

Earlier in her life, Kate had lost both of her parents and cannot bear to think of losing her grandmother.  Not only has she met the man of her dreams, she also begins a journey to find God and understand that He alone will never leave her or forsake her!

It was interesting to watch Kate and Nick walk together through this major event in Kate's life.  Throughout Leona's recovery, she writes down the tale of her own walk with Kate's grandfather and more importantly, with God!  She wants to share this truth with Kate before anything else takes away her ability to.

I wish this story would have focused more on the story between Kate and Leona than on the romance between Kate and Nick; however, it was worth the time to read this tale!
