Jolie: A Valentine's Day Bride

Jolie: A Valentine's Day Bride (Brides of Noelle: Love For All Seasons #2)
by E.E. Burke
 Jolie: A Valentine's Day Bride


As we all know we make decisions whether good or bad that leads to things getting out of our control turning a page we might not want to turn leading us to go down a road that we are unhappy with but have little choice. Here is a story that reminds us romance is for everyone even a soiled dove can find happiness. It is a very touching read with humor, sorrow, pain, full of emotions, romance at its fineness. I totally loved this story two people broken finding each other and turn their fears into a lovely romance that will bring a tear to your eye.

Humans are funny people when they lose part of their body, their hopes and dreams they think they aren’t good enough, no one will want them. They only see what they want not what they are, truly a wonderful person that the loss makes no less of. The author shows touching true emotions of two people who lost much but still find they are not worthy not only in body but in soul. Jolie and Hank’s story will break your heart I just wanted to cry when I read it. The author has a way of twisting your heart and then making you smile as she lays out the plot to some fun reading that will make you angry but at the same time make you smile as the town’s people turn against them only to have egg on their face.

I just love this town and its people, they are a handful as they pull pranks, tease and joke. The characters are amazing as normal people turn into heroes. There were times when my heart was in my throat at the danger that could have killed so many. Other times I was so angry at the miners who should have known better, there were nothing more than bullies, that got put in their place which will make you smile. For the most part the towns people are a delight that you will come to love, I so enjoyed seeing some from the past series that really touched me and stole my heart. It was great to see knew one and get to know them. One little wild town that they are trying too hard to settle and calm down, with wonderful mail order brides to delightful cowboys and miners who just want someone to call their own. This story is a big win for me it has just about everything you could ask for sorrow, trust issues, starting over, finding one’s self, humor, danger, a delightful big dog that I wish I could have and so much love. I doubt you can read this without it touching you in some way. I laughed, smiled and wanted to cry. This author held me in the palm of her hand as she twisted my heart right around her finger. There was nothing I didn’t love about this story, I loved it so much I picked it as one of my favorite reads for the year.
