The Wedding Dress

I really enjoyed The Wedding Dress. I am now a huge fan of all 3 writers. It was well written and the characters came to life for me.

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHNG NEW BY MAGGIE CASPER: Matilda Cummings has her sister to blame for the predicament in which she finds herself. She has traveled across the country to marry a rancher after corresponding with him by mail. When Matilda meets Duncan Chandler instead of his brother Dawson, she prepares herself for bad news. Duncan comes clean that his brother didn't actually know he was signing a marriage contract and sending for Matilda. Plus, he doesn't want a wife. Matilda thinks about and mentions breaking the contract but winces when Duncan reminds her that she hasn't been all that truthful either. Dawson Chandler doesn't want a wife and refused to go meet her train. He can't stop himself, however, from watching and waiting for his bride-to-be to show up with Duncan. Finally, Duncan and Matilda arrive. After waiting weeks, Dawson sees his mail order bride step down from the wagon and he can't believe his eyes. Unable to help himself, he finds himself wondering what having a wife would be like and before he knows it, he is letting Matilda know exactly what he expects from her as his wife. Dawson and Matilda come to an understanding. Well, Dawson thinks that he and Matilda have come to an understanding. When Matilda's stubbornness sets in, Dawson doesn't know what hit him. SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW is Maggie Casper's first foray into writing a historical novel. Personally, I don't know why she waited so long because her talent shines brightly with SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW. The character of Matilda is perfect for a tough rancher like Dawson. I still smile thinking about Matilda's sewing abilities and then I blush thinking about Dawson's reaction to Matilda's type of sewing. SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW had me under its spell from the first word. It was humorous and incredibly sexy at the same time, which I loved. To me, the writing of Maggie Casper continues to evolve and improve with each novel she writes. I look forward to reading any and everything she releases. SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE BY LENA MATTHEWS: Azure Kerr answers a strident knock on her door without looking or thinking about looking. She comes face to face with an attractive, fidgeting man who begs to use her facilities and uses his wallet as collateral. Azure laughingly allows him entrance figuring that if the man was a serial killer he wouldn't give up his wallet. Azure doesn't realize that the man she just allowed into her home will become important to her. Gavin Conner promised a friend he would look in on his sister. The sister is not at home, and Gavin finds himself in an uncomfortable situation. Knocking on the neighbor's door, Gavin prays the owner is home. As soon as the door opens, Gavin promises to be a slave for life to the beautiful, African American woman who opened the door. Gavin is allowed admittance but has no idea how much his life and personal values are about to change. All Gavin knows is that he
