My Review:
Let me start off by saying that this appears to be the second story in this "An Engagement in Seattle" book collection. I don't want to call it a series, because it appears to be a totally seperate story. The book currently (as of the date of this posting) on Amazon is for a different story. That's why I did not post a buy link to Amazon. The story that I read and reviewed was about Leslie and Chase and the book will be released in December 2017.
Debbie Macomber is one of my favorite authors. Her stories are always heartwarming and sweet with characters you can't help but adore. This book was no exception! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Leslie is left stunned and heartbroken after her fiance breaks off their engagement and marries someone else. Then on the day her wedding was supposed to take place, her purse is snatched in a store parking lot. Desperate to retrieve her belongings, she runs after the thief but is unable to catch him. An unknown hero rushes in to save the day. That hero is none other than Chase Goodman. Chase had come to Seattle from his home in Alaska to find a wife. He had such a short time to do just that, so he advertised on a billboard "Bride Wanted".
Although she didn't know at first that Chase was the man behind the billboard, Leslie soon became interested in this man and a warm relationship soon developed. Things did not go smoothly however! Tony, Leslie's ex-fiance created problems and Leslie's mother wasn't all too keen on this relationship either. But a HEA prevailed!
I have to say that the romance in this book gave me tingles, and oh how I love those tingles! There was enough steam to let you know what was happening without having it thrown in your face (if you know what I mean). It definitely gives you a good dose of romance!
