Sweet story but...
- By Jane Canale on 02-14-20
Publisher's Summary
Two classic stories of finding love where you least expect it!
Marriage Wanted
As far as Nash Davenport's concerned, marriage isn't shelter from the storm - it is the storm. He's a divorce attorney, himself divorced, who believes no married couple can live up to their wedding vows. Savannah Charles, however, believes in the value - and the values - of marriage. She's a wedding planner who finds herself saying yes when Nash unexpectedly proposes. Even though it's strictly a business proposal....
My Hero
Would-be romance writer Bailey York has already failed twice at love. She thinks men are wonderful to read and write about, but that's it. Which is probably why she has such difficulty creating a hero for her novel. What she needs is a real-life example. She finds one in Parker Davidson - he's everything a hero should be. Compellingly attractive. Forceful and determined, yet capable of tenderness. A man of substance. Parker is perfect as Bailey's inspiration - but he wants to be the hero in her life, not just in her book!

Not for Me
I have heard so much about Debbie Macomber books, I was looking forward to this. But I seriously can't tell if it is the narrator's juvenile reading and delivery or the writing--but other than subject matter, it feels like a little kid's book. I had to stop and take a break. I'll finish but am really disappointed.

I thought it would get better, but literally started skipping chapters.... and it was the same thing chapter after chapter. I couldn't even get to the end, and the plot was so bad, didn't care. Narration wasn't the best either. I returned the book.

The first story was amazing! I felt that the second book took a long time to take off. It felt a little repetitive at times. However, after it took off it was a good story. It ended too quickly though.
