I won this book through the first-reads program, and really found it quite enjoyable.

Carrie St. John was a very endearing protagonist, and her problems with her love interest (Mike) were very believable. Unlike some romance novels I've read, the people in this book had very real concerns regarding their careers, and Carrie St. John was not willing to sacrifice her job in order for love. She was a professional woman, and I liked the positive message that having such a protagonist sent.

The story was quick, and the writing easily accessible. I found nothing wrong with the book, so to speak. It was like a snack, or a light dessert - would be perfect for a beach read, or a lazy afternoon. ( )

Cute and funny.

Description: Successful financier Carrie St. John has endured all the romantic disasters she thinks she can in a lifetime. That is, until her fiancé jilts her the weekend of her bridal shower. Carrie can't show up unaccompanied again and admit to her family she's a failure. When Carrie meets Mike Davis at an historic country inn, the recently ditched hottie offers to help fill the bill. But, at what price?

Mike Davis was finally going to prove his old high school buddies wrong.

Neither does Carrie, who is soon to learn there are things that even money can't buy. ( )

THE SOMETIME BRIDE
Carrie St. John had just tossed her engagement ring in the pool- Wilson had broken it off with her.
This book also follows Mike Davis who is diving for his ex fiances ring in the pool and finds not his but somebody elses.
They have had their rooms paid for a s a special weekend rate and agree to just console one another and stay the night.
He planned to attend a 20th high school reunion and prove the guys wrong that he'd still be a bachelor. With his girl dumping him he'd still be a bachelor.
She is to attend her bridal shower that her grandmother and other relatives have put together-for the 2nd time. The last guy had walked out on her also.
They come together with other plans and before Mike knows it she's asking his dad to walk her down the aisle for their wedding. He's not sure what to think... They do get to talk about her money and it's the tip of the iceberg-the one thing that can break them up.
I received this book from the author as a gift in exchange for my honest review. ( )

What a cute story of two jilted people that meet and fall in love. The two happen to run into each other at an Inn and the romance begins. They both seemed to be meant for each other and fate brought them there. It’s a short story but worth reading. ( )
