Can she
forgive the man who left her at the altar? Alyssa Pennington dated Brendan
Myers for three years before she accepted his proposal. For almost a year,
Alyssa's friends and family helped her plan a lovely wedding to take place in
the church she'd grown up in. It was the happiest day of her life when she
walked down the aisle to be united with the man of her dreams. But when Brendan
left her at the altar, Alyssa was consumed by humiliation, embarrassment, and a
broken heart that wouldn't allow her to trust anyone. Especially Brendan.
Brendan Myers
knows he will spend the rest of his life regretting what he did to Alyssa, the
only woman he's ever loved. Without her, his life is empty. In one fateful
moment, he'd panicked, destroyed their future, and ruined everything. Now he
plans to win her back.
But winning
back his bride might prove much more difficult than he can imagine. And even if
he does get her to the altar again, will she think turnabout is fair play?
A JULY BRIDE
is the eighth book in the Year of
Weddings series. It was a quick read, and without having read the blurb
above before I read the novella I had no idea whether Alyssa would choose
Brendan or Dalton .
I’m not sure
how I feel about this book. I liked some of it and didn’t like some of it. Ms.
Wiseman is a hit and miss author for me. I have loved some of her books. I have
not loved some. This one falls into the miss category, I think. I didn’t grow
to care for any of the characters. I didn’t care whether she chose Brendan or Dalton . I did like the
way both men wanted to take care of her during a Texan ice storm. I liked the
way Brendan listened when he was told he was trying to hard to win Alyssa back.
I love the cover of this novella.
If you like
Ms. Wiseman’s contemporaries, you might like A JULY BRIDE. $3.79.
