Book Review Express Review Corner brings you
“Never The Bride” by Janae Keyes. (review below)

Synopsis:

No strings attached to diamond rings…

Divorce lawyer Vanessa Hill was content with always being the bridesmaid to her sister or her “insane” friends. She never wanted to be the bride. Marriage wasn’t for her.

When her ailing grandmother invites Vanessa to discuss the terms of her will, Vanessa faces a dilemma, get married or lose everything. When under pressure, she invents an engagement with her neighbor and friend with benefits, Josiah.

Josiah Thomas, a no-nonsense celebrity tattoo artist, has already been through the marriage thing. He was done with diamond rings until Vanessa propositioned him. He’d do anything for the sexy girl next door and a promised two million dollars wouldn’t hurt.

Now Vanessa and Josiah will be doing the one thing they swore they would stay away from, marriage.
When hearts collide in lies, they just might belong together.

NOTE: This novel contains content for mature adults only.
 

Review By Barbara:

Great read! The author has written a wonderful storyline with strong characters that are very easy to relate to.

The male lead, Josiah, has pulled himself up from nothing to be a successful business owner and our female lead, Vanessa, is an independent woman who is a successful divorce attorney. They are neighbors who are friends with benefits, both having their reasons for not wanting marriage or a deep relationship. But the bond they have is a strong one. So strong they are always there for one another no matter how big or small the reason (including Vanessa needing a temporary fiancée).

The storyline has some twists and turns that will keep you guessing as well as times that will having you smiling and sighing. I enjoyed Never a Bride very much and I’d recommend it to everyone. 2 Thumbs Up!
 

Review By Kathy:

I didn’t like this book…..I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! This is such a wonderfully written storyline with characters that are amazingly written and so very well defined. You’ve probably seen movies where the rich old grandfather says that his grandchild can’t get the money they will inherit unless they are married or something….well it’s something like that. Kinda sorta.

Josiah is a self made man who is a successful business owner. Vanessa is a successful divorce attorney. They have known each other for some time and they each have their reason for not wanting anything to do with marriage, until Vanessa needs a fiance’ because of her Grandmother, and Josiah, being the wonderful friend (with benefits) that he is, takes the job.

Oh Yeah….LET THE FUN BEGIN

This is a fantastic book and I highly recommend it.
