3 2 1 ... Married: Getting Personal / The Single Daddy Club / Miracle Bride
Review Date: 2/11/2006


Three woman have set their sights on becoming brides. After reading a woman's magazine with a list of ways to meet the grooms of their dreams, the countdown has begun...

CATCH A COWBOY by Sharon Sala takes her heroine way out West, where the men are plentiful...and more than willing to make some lucky lady a bride.

COLLIDE WITH A SINGLE DADDY by Marie Ferrarella tells the story of a single gal searching for any excuse to visit the playground and catch sight of "a member of 'The Single Daddy Club.'"

GET PERSONAL by Beverly Barton creates a woman who discovers that personal ads are a bit like opening door Number 3--the prize may just be more than worth the risk!

For most of her life, Lydia Jefferson has wanted to open up a children's home. She was fortunate to have been raised in a loving foster home and she hopes to help other orphaned children. An opportunity arises to realize that dream when the city council of Peaceful Valley, Ohio reluctantly agrees to sell her a run-down eyesore that they had planned to tear down. However, there is one stipulation: the necessary improvements must be completed within three months' time or Lydia will forfeit the house. In order to accomplish this feat, Lydia must quit her teaching position and spend all of her savings, but she is one determined lady.

She seeks the help of Nathan Stockwell, a carpenter and wheelwright; but he turns her down because he doesn't have the time to help. The pastor, Ted, and a couple of local church groups become involved in the project; however, a ladies' group stands opposed and tries to reverse the council's ruling, using devious methods.

Nathan strolls past the house one evening and notices the poor quality of carpenter work being done by Lydia and Ted, and he can't help becoming involved with the renovations. Because of his past, he doesn't want to become involved with another woman, and Lydia makes him antsy. But as the two spend time together working on the house, the attraction between them grows. Can Lydia break through his defenses? Will Nathan be able to forget the past and commit himself to a relationship?

A story that reads easily on its own without prior knowledge of the previous books in the series. I believe there are two others.

In this continuation of the series, The Tales of the Jeweled Men, Veryan unveils the fate of a genteel, penniless, widowed young artist, Ruth Allington. Her father, brother, and husband have died, leaving her with a disgraced family name, an estate in debt, and two small nephews to support. Her few assets include a quick mind, a superb artistic ability, and her new friendship with the generous -- and crafty -- Gwendolyn Rossiter. It is Gwendolyn who perpetrates a deception that enables Ruth to work on restoring an ancient mural at the estate of Sir Gordon Chandler.

Ruth's situation is precarious: Such a position is decidedly improper for a young woman, and were Sir Gordon to learn of her true identity or the presence of her nephews, Ruth and the children would be banished from the estate -- straight into debtor's prison.
Sir Gordon has troubles of his own in the form of the League of the Jewelled Men, the nefarious conspirators determined to ruin his name and claim his estate. The League will stop at nothing to bring about his downfall, and in his hour of need, Sir Gordon finds he must turn for aid to a woman who has hidden everything from him -- including her love.
