WITH THIS RING?: A NOVELLA COLLECTION OF PROPOSALS GONE AWRY
The Husband Maneuver by KAREN WITEMEYER
THE HUSBAND MANEUVER by KAREN WITEMEYER is the
reason I wanted to read, WITH THIS RING?: A NOVELLA COLLECTION OF PROPOSALS
GONE AWRY. I have enjoyed every single book MS WITEMEYER has written. Well,
that isn’t entirely true. I didn’t “enjoy” every one…I LOVED every one, and THE
HUSBAND MANEUVER was no expedition.
The Hawkins foreman, Daniel Barrett is ready to
leave his job on the ranch to start his own business. It’s for his own good, in
more ways than one. He’d never have a chance with Marietta as long as he
continues to work for her father.
When Marietta Hawkins discovers Daniel Barrett - aka
Dead-Eye Dan - intends to leave her father’s ranch for his own place, the
wheels in her brain start to spinning. No way is she going to risk losing the
man she loves.
I remembered Dead-Eye Dan and Marietta from MS
WITEMEYER’S previous book. It was fun to see the characters come to life with a
story of their own. I loved the scene at the watering hole. MS WITEMEYER is a
master at creating unique, loveable, and three-dimensional characters. Her
plots are always thought out and captivating.

the situation.

Runaway Bride by MARY CONNEALY
I must say, I love when a hero comes to the rescue
of the heroine, and that is exactly what happens in RUNAWAY BRIDE by MARY
CONNEALY.
Big John Conroy is hired to help Carrie Halsey escape from a dangerous
man intent on making her his wife. A promise he intends to keep. What he didn’t
expect is to make another promise to the woman he is falling for.
