“A February Bride” Book Review...

Feb 16, 2015 by

Welcome back to Rachel’s Back Talk! I’m so glad you could join me again. Today I am reviewing Betsy St. Amant’s novella, A February Bride, which is apart of the “Year of Wedding” series. This is my first book that I have read of Betsy’s books and really enjoyed it!   As is my custom, if I could ask Betsy one question about A February Bride, it would be — “Was it easier or harder for this storyline to aline realistically in a novella?” And if you want to know why I asked that question, I guess you’ll just have to read the book to find out!   And without further ado, on to Rachel’s Back Talk! From the Back Cover: Allie left the love of her life at the altar—to save him from a...

White for the crime of failing to deliver a happily-ever-after. I told my mother that when I grew up I would write a better ending for Charlotte’s Web. Although...
