Secretly Chic: The Wedding Planner 17 reviews
Alison Davis
Secretly Chic, 2002
The best wedding planner out there!!!
3 months ago I was looking for a wedding planner for my upcoming wedding in September. Many of the planners I found were not helpful at all. For instance, ones like "the knot" have no information in them that you can't get free from their online site (theknot.com). Other planners get you started 2 years ahead of time, but my engagement was only going to be 7 months long so I didn't need a book ...

Hope (Brides of the West #3) (HeartQuest)22 reviews
Lori Copeland
Thorndike Press, 2002
Hope is the best of this trilogy.
Ok,so I wasn't real impressed with the first two books, Faith and June,but I really did enjoy this one. Enough to consider reading the next three,Glory,Ruth and Patience!
I got aggravated at the mind boggling number of setbacks,that happen to this couple,that are just totally unbelievable,but I'm just starting to think of them as comedy elements in this author's stories. Just don't know how ...

The Last Bride in Ballymuir16 reviews
Pocket Books, 2004
thanks for taking me home...
I don't read romance novels, but in the case of Dorien Kelly's "The Last Bride of Ballymuir," I made an exception. To my great joy I found a tale of haunting truth told honestly, a message of hope forged into being, where none should exist, and a new writer of whom I shall expect much. The lion's share of the action in this tale is internal: that of the struggle of its two main characters. ...

There Goes the Bride: Making Up Your Mind, Calling it Off and Moving On23 reviews
Jossey-Bass, 2003
Excellent advice and reassurance
This book is a long-needed resource for would-be and not-sure brides! Ms. Safier reinforces what many women know deep down: That if you have doubts, it's time to walk out before you walk down the aisle. An engagement is easier to get out of than a divorce, and sometimes those uneasy feelings are the nagging of common sense and responsiblity, not "cold feet." She also tells you how to heal ...

Offbeat Bride: Taffeta-Free Alternatives for Independent Brides43 reviews
Ariel Meadow Stallings
Seal Press, 2006
Paperback mirror
I'm an American living in Japan, and though I have friends here, it has been difficult to find someone to discuss the ins and outs and minute details of my wedding with. It is so easy to lose yourself in all the wedding glitz and without my close friends here to act as mirrors, I felt myself slipping, forgetting who I am and what the real me would want for my wedding.
Then I ordered this ...

An all-star cast of my generation! I swooned over Rod Taylor and Robert Culp!
Wow! My sister pointed me to this audio book and I couldn't believe my ears. I just relaxed on my bed to listen and was absolutely delighted with the movie-quality of the sound effects. Not only is this a masterful, well-written plot, it's also a quality production. The best I've heard.
And those stars that the magnificent author/director Paul Kyriazi lined up for this special version of ...

The Bride's Book of Lists: Things to Do & Questions to Ask11 reviews
Amy Nebens
Sterling, 2003
100% Thorough
This book is so complete that I have barely scratched the surface of all that it has to offer, and I've had it for over a month! Complete with timelines, questions that I never would have thought to ask, and "keep in mind" helpful hints. Fantastic!

Gillyanne is a cunning lass that will keep you attentive
This is by far my favorite book of the series so far, I have about two or three left to read, but to date this story out shined the rest. It didn't feel that way at first, it wasn't until I got to the end of the book that I could truly appreciate what I had read. What makes this story so remarkable is Gillyanne's cunning and adaptive nature. When she aquires the land between three fueding ...

A wonderful start to this series...
Description from the back of the book:
Wanted: A woman to cook, clean, and wash for seven men.
To penniless, friendless Rose Thornton, the advertisement seemed like an answer to her prayers, and the incredibly handsome man who hired her seemed like a dream come true. But when she first set eyes on her hero's ramshackle ranch in the wilds of the Texas brush country and met his utterly ...

Tim Burton's Corpse Bride12 reviews
Warner Home Video, 2006
If you love the film, you shoudn't miss the book.
I bought this book several months ago in a local bookstore. The photos and images in the book attracted my attention almost immediately, although at that time I've only heard of the film but haven't watched it. Like other behind-the-scenes books, it shows how they produced the film in every detail, from beginning to end. I especially like the concept sketches and the black humor. The production ...

Relevant Books, 2004
The only Novel I'll actually read!!!
I usually don't like Novel's. . . I like facts and devotional reading. . . but this book is amazing. For someone like me, who can't make word pictures in my mind very easily, this book was excitingly vivid and exceptionally captivating. A MUST read.

Ahab's Bride: Book One of Ahab's Legacy14 reviews
Louise M. Gouge
Cook Communications, 2004
A Beautiful Telling
Louise Gouge's telling of Ahab's Bride's story is beautifully wrought. The tone is consistent throughout the book, so much so that I was captivated by the time period. She does a lovely job of capturing Ahab's obsession, his penchance for pushing away anyone who longed to have deep ties with him--all in all a great character study of pride and its destructiveness both to the person who is ...

Shelley Bradley
Zebra, 2000
Refreshing, spicy and guaranteed to tug at your heartstrings
Many medieval romances are dark and almost overwhelmingly serious -- and thank goodness Shelley Bradley didn't follow that path! Ms. Bradley will delight readers with the first book in her BROTHERS AT ARMS trilogy, further securing her place among the most talented of romance authors. Aric Neville is warrior weary of battle and sickened by court intrigues. Holding himself accountable for a ...

My Favorite All Time Book!
My mother collected used Scottish books for me. Out of all the Scottish romance books I have read over the years this one is my absolute favorite. The history of the time in this book is spellbinding. I am fullfilling my lifetime dream of going to Scotland and decided I must read it again before I go this summer. The characters are so awesome, you never forget them. I will never forget when ...

Madeleine Brent
Fawcett, 1978
From China to the English Countryside
Madeleine Brent (Peter O'Donnell of Modesty Blaise fame) wrote some really good historical adventure stories pitched toward women. Why does he succeed in making his books interesting even on repeated reading, where a lot of other authors in the same genre fail? He has great respect for the intelligence and good sense of his heroines. Plucky and intelligent, Lucy struggles against great odds to ...
