High-powered businessman Cameron Shaw doesn't believe in love - until he falls head over heels for beautiful, passionate, and intensely private Martina. She's perfect in so many ways, immediately bonding with his little girl. Martina could be his future bride and a delightful stepmother...if only Cameron weren't blinded by his belief that Shelly, the gold-digging woman he's promised to marry, is pregnant with his child.

Will he find out in time that Shelly's lying and Marti's the one who's actually carrying his child? It'll come down to the day of his wedding. After choosing Shelly over Marti at every turn, will he convince Marti she's his world and the only woman he wants?

Wow - was Cameron so stupid !!!

Any additional comments?

I loved the first two books in this series. I was really looking forward to this one. I so want to beat Cameron to death for terminal stupidity. I do not understand how a man is described to be so brilliant and such a good business man and a good judge of character can turn into a blithering idiot in this book. That said, the book does keep your interest as you just an't believe how utterly dumb someone can be. I am disappointed in this book but will still continue as the first two books were so wonderful... One good thing about this book is that Coleen Marlo done another excellent job with narration.... :)

Terminally Stupid

What would have made The Right Bride better?

By having the lead male not be so moronic that he would believe anything told to him by a gold digger. By having the female not be so idiotic that she would subject herself to this jerk. Just wanted to kick both of them.

Would you ever listen to anything by Jennifer Ryan again?

Yes. I liked the first two books in the series and was looking forward to this book. Makes me wish I hadn't started the series in the first place.

What does Coleen Marlo bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She is a good narrator and I wouldn't mind listening to other work by her. This wasn't her best canvas.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment.

Any additional comments?

For anyone who listened to first 2 stories, be ready to be annoyed. I felt sorry for Cameron when he was first introduced in the first book and hoped he found someone. Even though he did in this one, I just couldn't care.

Exciting

This book held mystery, fun and breathtaking love. The narrator was great. It was all that I expected and more.

Wrong series and wrong century

Let me start by saying I loved the first two books in Jennifer Ryan's "Hunted" series. Romantic suspense that kept me on the edge of my seat, throughout. Imagine my surprise and confusion when in this third book, there was no suspense; only frustration at the dumbest, most clueless hero that ever existed. If not for my certainty that Jennifer Ryan is a wonderful writer, and the brilliant narration by Coleen Marlo, I would've tossed this book aside after the first hour. The situation and the thick-headed hero drove me to distraction. So unrealistic and easily resolved with 21st century science, it was maddening. However, I'm pressing on to read the rest of the series, with the hope that the remaining books will be as engaging as the first two.

Not great

Great performance..,story was ridiculous as no one could be that stupid. Ms Morrow was the only saving grace.

Boy was he dumb!

I had to skip through some parts to listen to it all. I couldn't believe it took him til the end to wise up.

lame book

Would you ever listen to anything by Jennifer Ryan again?

don't know

Which scene was your favorite?

none

What character would you cut from The Right Bride?

Cameron - he was a total jerk! I'd also cut the gold-digger as well.

Any additional comments?

NOT worth a credit!!!

I COULD NOT STAND THE MALE LEAD CHARACTER

I want to start with I love Jennifer Ryan books. I even really liked the previous 2 books in this series. I cannot express enough how much I HATED this books lead characters. Weak female doormat lead who seems to be intelligent and strong in every aspects of her life, except her love life. Puts up with what is practically emotional abuse over and over again. UM NO, just NO. No respect for a man SOOOO incredibly stupid, he deserved the wedding and miserable marriage that would have gone with his decision.

Hunted Series

I love the hunted series books 1,2 + 3. Jennifer Ryan write to appeal to woman's senses, a little sensuality, a lot of love, and some mystery to boot.

The Right Bride

Very good! I really enjoyed the story line. The man before he marryed the first time then the man after. Boy! It made you what to jump in the the story line and make him do the right thing.
