The Accidental Bride (Bride Trilogy Bk 2)
The Accidental Bride (Bride Trilogy Bk 2)
Author: Jane Feather
Book Type: Paperback
  • Currently 3.8/5 Stars.

Review Date: 8/8/2009


2nd books in a trilogy often have issues much like middle children. Accidental Bride was a happy exception to many rules. The heroine was appealing and very natural. The hero grew. The sex was honest. All against the background of the English Civil War, which is not a hackneyed setting. Strongly recommend reading the three books in proper order (Hostage Bride is 1, Least Likely Bride is 3).

The phone call was a lark - a spontaneous whim. But when Lily Brownfield called about the ad in the Oklahoma newspaper and was told that the job was hers, the crazy idea became a reality. The owner of the Longren Ranch needed a cook for a cattle roundup. And Lily needed to leave Los Angeles behind - along with the heartbreak of the fiance and the job she'd lost when her face was scarred in a car accident.

Written first-person. Likeable, realistic characters. A quick read. I'll be keeping up with the series.

Debbie Macomber books are comfort reads for me. The Blossom Street series is kind of a soap opera, but I enjoy the way the characters thread through. This story was a little disappointing, though, in that the problems weren't really problems. Still, love and human goodness triumph, hence the comfort.

Written first person. First in a series, it'll be fun to see Bubbles evolve.

I was unprepared for such shallow characters, vulgar language, and an absolute lack of a story line evidenced by the ill-conceived ending. I give up on this series, and maybe even this author.

I actually got teary - twice - reading this book. The emotions are so well drawn. I love the way the children are portrayed and Christmas as integral to the plot, not just a backdrop. The secondary characters are well played and memorable in their own right. An awesome story, and I'm glad it has been re-released.

Connects with Anticipation, which I hadn't read. With backstory missing, this story felt incomplete and unsatisfying.

Science fiction writer Kevin Walker landed on Lynn Potter's doorstep one day and swept into her well-ordered life. Her agent had arranged for them to collaborate on a new book. She was to supply the romance...

Highly rated on likesbooks.com, which is unusual for a category romance. The type font is very small, so it has the feel and depth of a full-length book. I fell for both the hero and the heroine, which is noteworthy. The pace really keeps the reader involved.


Deeper Than the Grave: A Tai Randolph Mystery (Tai Randolph Series)
Review Date: 5/7/2016


Although I've read this series from the beginning, I found myself thinking that this book does not stand alone well as the characters are developing.

I fell for the hero, and I'm not usually fond of Hollywood heroes. This one stands up to its age pretty well and is one of my favorite Sandra Brown "oldies."

The hero's battle with his own thoughts and the nature/nurture question held my interest. My favorite romances are those in which I care for both the hero and the heroine, and that holds true in this compelling story.

The author recommends reading this book out loud. I agree. Upper elementary teachers might consider it for classroom read-aloud, even!

Don't recommend reading Hard and Fast without reading Flat-out Sexy first. Not that it's an intricate plot or highly connected characters, but the tone is better in light of the first book in the series.

I read Home to You in a single sitting. It was very well crafted, and I wish it had been a full-length novel.

Brad Lavalier was the man to help Carolina Palmette protect her grandma's land from a swindler - but working closely with the devilishly sexy attorney wasn't going to be easy.
