A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Always the Wedding Planner, Never the Bride (Emma Rae #2) - Sandra Bricker

This is the second book in the Emma Rae Creation series.  Always the Baker, Never the Bride was the first and I really enjoyed it.

Sherilyn has known Emma since college. When she gets engaged, her fiance gets a job in Atlanta and they decide to relocate there.  Emma immediately thinks that Sherilyn would be perfect for the job of wedding planner since Jackson's sister is giving up the position.

As time goes by, Sherilyn and Andy start to come to the realization that they haven't honestly known each other very long.  Apparently he proposed to her on the 10th date and now they wonder if they are making the right decision.  Two lost wedding dresses, mysterious allergies, old flames appearing, differences of opinion on things like dogs start to make Sherilyn think that her wedding is cursed.

I thought this book was a little depressing at times, but overall I did like it.  The reason that Sherilyn thinks that she is cursed does not come out until late in the book and it wasn't what I expected at all.  I like how the author gave a little link to the next book in there.  The character of Russell, the eccentric Australian actor, was a bit annoying and I didn't like learning all the Australian slang.  I already don't remember any of it!

The next book in the series, Always the Designer, Never the Bride, comes out in April.  As of right now, there isn't an ASIN number (used on eReaderIQ for watching) for it.  I hope that it pops up for free, but I won't hold my breath.  If I remember, I might put it on my watch list.  Regardless of whether my journey with Emma Rae ends here or not, I'll say that this one deserves a Good Book tag!
