Great Book

Bonnie Tucker is the greatest romance writer on the planet. Hilarious and totally entertaining!!

Ms. Jacobs is a genius!!

When you open up a Holly Jacobs book be prepared to laugh, and don't plan on stopping until you've come to the last page. And even then, her heart-warming scenes with their touch of comedy will keep you smiling throughout the day. I recommend that you buy every other book the woman has ever written, as they are all fabulous. I can't wait until her next release. Take a chance and discover your new favorite author.

Laughed Out Loud

A bride who runs away and finds love with a Irish Pub and Sushi Bar owner. The groom who gets left behind and finds love with the wedding planner. Two connected books that will keep you laughing from the first page to the last.

For a roaring good time read this one

Courtesy of CK2S Kwips and Kritiques How to Catch a Groom Seth Rutherford was just about to be married. He was one day away from tying the knot with fellow professor at Gannon University, Mary Kathryn O'Malley. He had dreams of them being perfect partners in everything, from marriage to research out on Lake Erie. So he is stunned when at the wedding, his bride-to-be ditches him just as she is about to say "I do." He never saw it coming, and thought she was as happy about their partnership as he was. Desi Smith was the wedding coordinator for this bridal disaster. She feels for Seth, and tries to convince him to carry on with the reception anyhow, since everyone is there and everything is ready. Desi has had a crush on Seth since their high school days, so her heart goes out to him as he is humiliated in front of everyone. And when he gets totally drunk at the reception that wasn't, she takes it upon herself to make sure he gets home safely, not expecting to have anything to do with him after that. Until she gets in a bind... When Desi's assistant gets a chance of a lifetime the day before her next job, she is stuck and can't think of anyone to help her out. Her parents won't help as they have never made a secret of the fact they thought she was wasting her God-given talents in her chosen career. So her only choice is to call Seth, and hope he will help her out. He agrees, not realizing what he is agreeing to, and he is horrified to find out what she needed him for, saying she owes him for that one. His return favor is that he asks her assistance to collect samples out on Lake Erie. She agrees and while out, she decides to get him to have some fun no matter what it takes. Seth is a stodgy professor, obsessed with his work and the logic of the scientific world. He swore to never let emotion get the better of him, having seen his parents, two overly emotional people who fight... and make up loudly and with abandon. Desi is a true romantic, who is all about having fun and enjoying life. As the two of them spend more time together, they grow more attracted to each other, finding it harder and harder to resist the magnetic pull between them. Seth has difficulties dealing with Desi's passion for life thinking there is no rhyme or reason to it. But the more he is with her, the more he realizes that maybe having zest for life - and each other - isn't such a bad idea after all. Ms. Jacobs has done it again! Her own love of life and finding the humor in it comes through in this story, and the lives of Seth and Desi. Her love of the town she calls home is also obvious, in that this story, as are all of her books, is set in Erie, PA. Seth and Desi's opposition in everything provides numerous moments of hilarity for the reader. Her attempts to make him see the finer things in life are sometimes met with disastrous results, but that doesn't stop her from trying. Seth's insistence that everything in the world has some sort of logical explanation drives he
