I couldn't put the book down. what a great read. I felt likethe characters in the book were talking to me.
In both cases the characters are well-developed with a quality of humor while keeping the romantic chemistry light at first/steamy toward the end. Well, she finally takes the plunge and (after quitting her job) moves in with Paul who slowly begins to love once more. Well, he agrees (since they've been good friends for years) and finally realizes that Jamie is the perfect woman for him. All in all we're given an adequate romance with characters willing to give love a second chance. Paul has lost his wife and is left grieving while trying to raise three young children. Deb Macomber's second book in this breathtaking series, The Manning Brides, once again goes to prove why the crown of contemporary romance sits so snuggly upon her head and why it's not an easy one to take off.
In this first tale we have Rich who is asked by his friend Jamie to be the "donor" of a child she desperately wants. Both tales have Deb Macomber's trademark stamped on them and why we read her to begin with. We were first introduced to this series with her bestseller: The Manning Sisters: The Cowboy's Lady The Sheriff Takes A Wife (MIRA) Anyone familiar with this series knows the two story format and that holds true for book two. Leah Baker has also suffered the heart-ache of loss and does her best to help. I also would highly recommend reading--Siren by Geo Tin: Sirens (Mass Market) I just finished reading it and it was spectacular.don't miss it. The first tale is Marriage of Convenience and those who've read The Manning Sisters will recognize the brothers.
The second tale is Stand-In Wife and like the first story this time we read about Rich's brother Paul.
Then what happens when you make your choice. This was my first Debbie Macomber book. A really great love story. I could not put it down till the end. I was hooked from the begining and had to read through the end. She caputres how it feels to fall in love with the right person at the wrong time.
I would highy recommed all of her books. I am addicted to Debbie Macomber books. I have never read one of her books that I could put down and then never ready for it to end.
Pull up an easy chair and maybe a box of kleenex and read any of her books. I simply can't get enough of Debbie Macomber books. They are just pure enjoyment.
