Every Bride Has Her Day

Another Delightful Romance from the Queen of Romantic Comedy
Katie Fisher is ecstatic. Pro basketball star Brady James has proposed, and she can't wait to start planning their life together. She's confident she'll make it down the aisle this time--but it still may be easier said than done. A high-society Houston bride has Katie and the Cosmopolitan Bridal team scrambling to get the perfect dress done in time for her spectacular wedding. Meanwhile, Katie finds herself bombarded with everyone's competing visions regarding her own special day--and she's beginning to worry that her own ideas will get lost in the crossfire. Will she ever manage to settle all of the details for "her" perfect day? Or will bridal shop chaos and overzealous friends and family make a mess of everything?
Fan favorite Janice Thompson gives readers what they've been clamoring for: another funny, romantic romp with a Texas twang.

My thoughts: Oh boy, most brides will be able to relate, at least in part, to this story! I know people are well meaning with their opinions when it comes to a wedding, but Katie has to deal with a hilarious extreme, with marrying a high profile groom. I love the humor in this one! The characters are fun to catch up and the book is a satisfying conclusion to the series.

Take Ten: books that will make you chuckle

I must not read a whole lot of books that are out and out funny, since this topic has been harder for me to come up with titles for. I think I need to remedy that, since I need a good laugh once in a while! So, if you have the chance to leave a comment, be sure to let me know what hilarious books I need to add to my TBR list.;)

1. With This Ring?

By default, I am not generally a fan of novella collections, since I like more character development than most offer. This one was a hilarious collection though!

2. At Love's Bidding

The characters in this book were a lot of fun, and I loved the glimpse into different auction houses of the 1800's.;)

3. One Plus One Equals Trouble

These two and their uncanny predicament! I loved their sparing.

4. My Fair Godmother

Granted, it has been a while since I read this one, but I remember loving it!

5. My Unfair Godmother

The sequel was adorable and funny too.

6. So Not Happening

Again, it has been a while since I read this series, but it made me chuckle!

7. I'm So Sure


8. So Over My Head


9. You Had Me at Goodbye

This one had me in stitches!

10. That's -Not Exactly- Amore

Another great, funny read.

So, there is my list for the week. I had to go back and ways to fill it.;) What books should be on my list?

With This Ring?

Four top historical romance novelists team up in this new collection to offer stories of love and romance with a twist of humor. In Karen Witemeyer's "The Husband Maneuver," Marietta Hawkins decides to grab the reins when the ranch foreman she loves seems to be leaving forever. Regina Jennings offers "Her Dearly Unintended," where friends stranded by a rising river pretend to be newlyweds when a dangerous stranger arrives.

Mary Connealy's "Runaway Bride" finds a Texas ranger getting more than he expected when he rescues a young woman fleeing a dangerous arranged marriage. And Melissa Jagears' "Engaging the Competition" finds a young woman forced to assist the man she's often sparred with after an accident leaves him helpless. Each tale is a fun blend of history and romance that will delight readers.

My thoughts: What a fun, humorous collection of Novellas! I thought the stories were immensely fun and fell in love with a lot of the characters. I think my favorite of the four would have to be "The Husband Maneuver", since it was just such a cute story. I loved how Karen started each chapter with the excerpt of a dime novel type story.;) While I liked it the best, all of the stories were a lot of fun and the perfect book to curl up with on a Wintery day!

The Perfect Fool

“I told the queen I would let you live, but I didn’t say in what condition. I’m very sorry, Farrago.” Kazim pulled a rope that I hadn’t noticed from his shoulder. It was attached to a clay jar I recognized. “I must break you.”

Plucked from the streets to become a court jester, Farrago’s life is simple and carefree. No one demands much of him, and that’s exactly how he likes it. But everything changes when Farrago begins flirting with a scullery maid named Thea. And when Farrago learns the truth about Thea’s identity, he must decide just how far he’s willing to go for the chance to follow his heart.

This quirky medieval tale is a fun and romantic read. With a charming balance of humor and suspense, it has a plot that’s full of twists and guaranteed to keep you guessing.

My thoughts: What a fun story! This book is a fun one that does keep you guessing till the very end. I very much enjoyed the characters and their story, which is a lovely medieval tale about a young orphan who grows into the court jester and goes on an impossible journey for the lady he loves. The humor is spot on and kept me laughing, but there is also some suspense as I tried to figure out how things could possibly turn out alright for Farrago. Two thumbs up!
