Quick Mini-Series Next Week & My First Review
While straightening up my office earlier this week, I sorted through some things that I brought home from the office with me when I was laid off. One of those was a list (several legal-size pages long) of notes I took whenever I was working on acquisitions—notes of what not to write in a query letter or proposal.
So next week, I’ll be doing a three- or four-day mini-series on Query Letters: What Not to Write, so be sure to pass the word!
In other news, the publicist from Barbour sent me my first early review yesterday, so I hope it’s okay to share it here:
Stand-in Groom (Brides of Bonneterre, Book 1)
by Kaye Dacus
Published by Barbour Publishing (January release)
Reviewed by Jamie Driggers for Armchair Interviews
Anne Hawthorne has made a nice, safe, life for herself. Weekly dinners with her cousins. The occasional blind date. And a successful wedding-planning business. She may not have found her Mr. Right, but she knows what she wants. Meanwhile, she’ll keep making other people’s dreams come true.
George Laurence lives at the beck and call of one of America’s rich and famous. Though sometimes his job presents uncomfortable situations, his desire to stay in the United States dictates that he not lose his job or he’ll risk losing his work visa. What he didn’t expect was that while standing in as groom for his employer, he would fall in love with the wedding planner.
This is a fun, romantic read with a bit of intrigue woven in for good measure. You can’t help but want love to win out for these two. I am especially fond of the notion that, though they were both interested upon their first meeting, a significant amount of time passed in the story. Week long falling-in-love affairs are still overrated in my books.
Kaye Dacus has written a page-turner with three dimensional secondary characters and a love interest you can really get behind. Not just category romance, but plots and sub-plots that make me hope for a sequel or two. More characters in this book need their story told.
Armchair Interviews agrees.
