Free More Than A Convenient Bride (Texas Cattlemans Club: After The Storm #6) Developed By Michelle Celmer Available In EPub

more of my reviews on my blog sitelinkThoughts At One In The Morning,

My Thoughts:

I read the first Texas Cattleman's Club: After the Storm novel, Stranded With The Rancher, and thought it was absolutely lovely.
I remember this "story" being hinted at and thought, "I'd really like to read more about that," so when this one came my way, BOOM! I was all over it.


Who doesn't love this kind of love story "I have to get married to insert whatever it is that's about to ruin their life unless they get married here.
" There's just something about it, Put best friends Luc and Julie together and it's an easy fix, Then when it comes time to kiss the bride, they discover they enjoy the kisses, . . a lot. Well, then, there goes the whole simplicity of this arrangement, Is it possible for two best friends to fall in love after they've already gotten married

More Than a Convenient Bride was an adorable ride.
I loved it more than the first book in the series, Luc and Julie were an amazing pairing, The chemistry from their friendship translated beautifully to their relationship once they married, I will absolutely be reading the rest in this series, AND more by Michelle Celmer,

My Rating: Very Good More Than a Convenient Bride was given to me for an honest review through Net Galley

Julie is about to deported because the government wont renew her work visa thanks to some arrest when she was younger.
She doesnt want to leave Royal, Texas and she doesnt want to leave her best friend and boss.
There is a solution but the only person she trusts enough to ask is her best friend Lucas.


Lucas is devastated by the news that his best friend will have to leave the country and he is helpless to stop it.
When his friend suggest that he marry Julie to keep her in the country he balks but the next day he goes to her office to talk about it anyway.


This book is one of those ones that nearly landed in the forget it I give up pile even after I skipped a head a little, it was close, very close.
The firstpages were so freaking boring that I cant even remember them except for the note I wrote about being bored.
The characters were mundane and even the potential love triangle thought was a dud, The sex was there but not as earth shattering for me as it seemed to be for Lucas and Julie.
Then there was the ending that was as cheesy a cliché as you can get OMG, really The only really cool thing about the whole book was the blind kitten they named Houdini.


This was originally posted here sitelink wordpress. com I was given a copy of this book for my honest opinion and once again was reminded why I have graduated from harlequin romances.
The stories are too predictable, the characters lack depth and I always walk away frustrated, If you are looking for that quick book on the beach which you can leave behind in the sand once you finish, this is it.
If you are looking for that classic romance to add to your shelf, keep looking, Sigh.

Another friendstolovers story bites the dust,

Julie Kingston's visa is about to expire and if she doesn't do something about it, she will be deported.
Enter Dr. Lucas Wakefield, Julie's boss and best friend who offered a marriage of convenience so Julie could stay in the States.


Now here's my problem with this book:I couldn't connect with Julie or with Luc or with their relationship.
It seemed forced and contrived, They had zero chemistry. It was really sad. This book had no real conflict, All of it are in Julie's head, It was very weak, in my opinion,

And because there was no real conflict, I felt that their relationship didn't grow and neither did the characters.
The prose also meandered. Instead of focusing on Julie and Luc, it goes on and on about cats, about Luc's exfiancee, etc.


Overall, this was a disappointment, I wish the author focused more on developing Luc and Julie's relationship but she didn't, And the story lacked an emotional punch because of that,

More than a Convenient Bride is a very sweet and easy Happily Ever After Story.
A short, but very fun read that will give you butterflies from all the sweet and hot moments.
A best friend turns lovers story that is very easy to love, Luc being swoon worthy makes everything so much interesting, This is my very first Michelle Celmer book and I so loved and enjoyed it, I cant wait to read more of her books,


:::REVIEW IS ALSO ON FOUR CHICKS FLIPPING PAGES::
sitelink weebly I like the storyline of friends becoming lovers especially in this book just because Julie will be deported since her visa cannot be extended.


And Lucas dying to make her stay, . . Added with his ex, Amelia coming back too,

But, from all the Harlequin Desire books that I have read, I have a feeling this book falls in the wrong category, not Desire, to me should be Harlequin Romance, and not so much intense passion that I usually read in Desire category.


And I think I would have given a perfect five or either Julie or Lucas will give in more intense passion or maybe playing a little hard to get or the sneaky staring contest and blush now and then if caught.
"More Than a Convenient Bride" Texas Cattleman's Club: After the Storm Bookby Michelle Celmer is a part of a series but because of the way it is written you can read the book alone and follow along with the story.
I love series books so I recommend reading the series, but if you were to pick up this book you'd be able to follow.


Julie Kingston's work Visa is expiring and the government will not issue her a new one.
She really

doesn't want to go back to South Africa so her best friend Dr, Luk Wakefield decides that they should marry so she can stay in this country, It is supposed to be a marriage of convenience but after their first kiss at the altar things change quickly.


There is quite a bit to this story that I'm not telling because it would give some of the information away.
It was an enjoyable, quick read, Not quite for a young adult because of some of the scenes in the book, but it isn't erotic in nature.
