Summary: A Second-chance bride,practical Jenna Walsh has done something impractical. she's met a man on the internet and now, a month before Christmas, she's going to Alaska to marry him. Dalton Gray seems to be everything she wants in a husband -- sensitive, gallant, romantic . . .On the flight to Fairbanks, she has the misfortune to sit beside , who obviously isn't sensitive, gallant, or romantic. However, he's not impressed with her plan t marry Dalton, a man he detests . So Reed takes it upon himself to change her destination -- and her marriage plans.Which is why Jenna ends up at Reid's cabin in tiny Snowbound, Alaska. It's currently a one-woman town (and the other woman's out of town.) That leaves Reid, a bunch of eccentric old men, a few grizzly bears -- and Jenna. Kidnapped! And then there's a blizzard. The two of them alone, stranded in Snowbound . .

My Review: This is another book that took my less than 5 hours to read. I mean come on! It's only 234 pages!! LOL It is a book that had me going "Awww" and "Well, that's just screwed up" and giggling all the way. And , a BIG plus, it's completely "safe". Like you could read this to a 10 year old! I have only read now two books by Debbie but so far I like her better than Nora Roberts. If you want to a snowy, fairy-tale, with lumber-jack men on a rainy day, this is the book for you!

Exert: "Jenna pointed back at the closed curtain.
'My mother went to bed with a total stranger.'
'Pete's a good guy' Reid said.
'He just slept with my mother!'
'I didn't say he was perfect' " - pg. 208

Cover/Title: Cute cover! It kinda makes you think she's lost and kinda let down with her bouquet pointed down, but still love it. And the title? Perfect.

Extras:
Is there really a Snowbound, AL?
!!!!!!Reid!!!!!!! ;)

The Start of Something New

This is completely new to me so, give me a break. I have read zillions of books in the last 4 years (because that is when I got interested is reading) and here are SOME faves off the top of my head: Mortal Instruments (!Can't wait for City of Angels!), Twilight Saga, Wicked Lovely (still reading them but I loved the 1st), Gemma Doyle Trilogy (Even though the 3rd made me mad) and WAY many more,but hey I have had NO COFFEE. So far this year, 2010, I have read: "Betrayed" by P.C. Cast; "Champagne Girl" by Diana Palmer; "The Snow Bride" by Debbie Macomber; "A Wind in Cairo" by Judith Tarr; "A Knight in Shining Armor" by Jude Deveraux; "Bet Me" by Jennifer Crusie; "Tantalize" by Cynthia Leitich Smith. I will put up separate reviews on all of them soon! Also this blog is to record my clumsiness. I have been to the ER for my knees; I cracked my collar bone and then the cells got happy when mending and now i have a bump on my collar bone; I have freaky toes; I can move my tendons off my knuckles and "feel" the bone; and i have many other things that mark me as me and a klutz.(Also those things have JUST happened in my young adult life, NOT just in 2010 lol) I spill, I break and when I fall, I take someone, or something down with me, where it be the whole cat can-food isle or my Principal. Well I think that catches you up to date... If there are questions or something I spelled wrong, or even if you are a fellow klutzphobian, COmMeNt and FoLlOw :)

Have a Safe Proof Day,
