Book Review: Winter Brides: A Year of Wedding Novella Collections
Loved buddy reading this with my friend Amy! We both really liked the first 2 novellas but didn’t love the last one.
A December Bride - Denise Hunter: 3.5-4 stars
This is actually a Hallmark movie - which is pretty cool. I could see that for sure. This is about Layla trying to get her home staging business up and running when some circumstances happen where Seth gets them in a situation where they have to pretend they're dating and engaged. He agrees to let her decorate his home for Christmas Home Show and the story takes off there. Liked this pretty good, but the ending was too rushed.
A January Bride - Deborah Raney: 5 stars - loved!
This is all about Maddie who is an author and needs a place to write her manuscript because her house has some electrical issues going on. Ginny, who is her 80 year old neighbor, recommends Art's house that used to be a bed and breakfast. She goes to his home for about a week, each day, writing her story. Each day they write letters back and forth, never actually meeting in person. Each one of them thinks each other is an older person, Ginny's age, which adds a lot to the story. You are rooting for them to finally meet the entire time and loving them writing letters back and forth. Loved this one. So engaging and the characters and chemistry were great. Would love to check more by Deborah out, as I had never read anything by her before.
A February Bride - Betsy St. Amant: 2 stars
This didn't make any sense to me.... This starts with Allie leaving her fiancé at the alter because she is afraid she will make the same mistakes as her mom, aunt and grandmother.....Marcus doesn't know why she left. So much miscommunication. The characters keep getting forced back together but.............this just was so ridiculous of a story. The last chapter had some good redemption and realization points and this was the only short story that had a couple who already come in knowing each other for a while, but still did not like it.
