The Marriage Season - Audio Version - by Linda Lael Miller

The Marriage Season
Audio Version
This is book 3 of a four book series.
I have not read the first two. I found this one on
sale. So I decided to try it out.
I was not disappointed. It was a wonderful love story.
Really, that was it. There weren't any real
earth shattering tragedies.
It's a story of Bex, one of the three best friends starring
 in the series. She was engaged years ago. But he was
killed far from home and she has never recovered from
the loss. She has no intentions of ever truly loving again.
Tate has suffered his own love loss in the past. He has
two young sons that kept him from slipping under
after all the sadness.

The story has a steady pace and some terrific characters.
It is love at first sight at its best. Even though it's not
love at first sight for everyone. The Marriage Season
is an easy enjoyable love story.
Jack Garrett does a great job with the
narration! I am a big fan of men narrating love
stories. I will be looking up more from him.
I bought my audible copy of 
The Marriage Season at audible.com

The Lucky One - Movie review

The Lucky One
A Movie Review
Released in 2012
Starring Zac Efron &
Taylor Schilling

I read this story before going to see the movie.
It was my first and only Nicholas Sparks books.
I was not warned ahead of time that his stories are notorious
for their sad endings. Thankfully, the movie was not.
It was close to the book. But I preferred the movie.
Kind of a strange ending but happy.



I have never been a fan of Zac Efron, he is so pretty.
Its really hard to watch him. But he really did a fabulous
job on this one. A brooding, struggling Marine suffering
with ptsd. He is trying to find an angel he thinks saved
his life more than once on the battle field.
I have never seen Taylor Schilling in anything else.
She was perfect for this part. Her grandma is played by
Blythe Danner. Never much cared for her movies in
the past but she was perfect for this role and did a
great job.
Its a romantic movie with real actual hard, destructive,
scary, sad, emotional life. Because it winds up the
best possible way, you can only sigh.

Sisterchicks Go Brit! by Robin Jones Gunn

Sisterchicks Go Brit!
by Robin Jones Gunn

Part of the Sisterchicks series.

Robin Jones Gunn has written a series of books based
on the friendships women form with other women.
And how the experiences they share can bring about
a stronger inner faith. This is a wonderful series.
Liz has had a thing for Big Ben since she was a
teenager. While her life has been a happy one, filled
with blessings and comfort, she has never made it
to London to meet the subject of her mad crush.
Kellie dreams of her own interior design business.
Its the interior design that sets Kellie and Liz on a
path to London. The trip is nothing like they planned.
Nothing goes as they figured.

As the days roll along, they continue to find that
they are having a much bigger trip than they ever
dreamed. Each unexpected experience brings them
closer to each other. They find more and more
strength and comfort in their faith. The warmth of it
circles them. The friend that arranged this trip is
not done with her surprises. Even after they get home.
This is a wonderful story. Full of easy happiness.
Reminding me to follow more and not always
try to be in control of everything.
