If you have not read this book, only read to the word author in the second paragraph (per se).. DO NOT GO ANY FURTHER!
As posted on goodreads.com... This is my review for "Bouquet Toss" by Melissa Brown.
Oh wow! This was an emotional roller coaster ride, with so many ups and downs! But perfectly written and thought out!! Many kuddos to the author!!
I am not big into extremely large reviews that I post about book! I like to get straight to the heart of the matter & tell others who are interested in reading the book exactly what I thought with as few of words as possible... Since I just finished this book this morning, it is completely fresh in my mind and I can remember every detail.. With that being said, here is a little more about my thoughts on the book...
First and foremost, IT SUCKS that the long lost love comes back into Daphne's life, just to end up dying, without saying goodbye. A twist to that should have or could have very easily been a note saying who this "ring" belonged to.. Maybe a letter that was written from him, giving 100% closure to the poor girl.. I cried so very hard with her! It was heart retching that she had waited for him all these years and she finally gets him back (Kind of) just to lose him again! :'( And to boot, he "seemed" to be ready to grow up and give himself to her... Or maybe not... We the readers will never know because, the author killed him off!!! UGH!!! Ha ha!
Okay, enough with that.. I do love how she includes a psychic and mister perfect ends up being "THE ONE"!!! As I have always wanted to go see a psychic myself, just to see what they would say! Hmm, I may actual consider doing that sometime soon!
I also like that the author sends Daphne on several dates prior to meeting Tanner. Even though Tanner was brought into the story early on, it was just a short spotlight appearance.
I can completely relate to Daphne with her friendship with her cousin, as I have the same type of relationship with my sister Gena. I love how cousin Morgan pushes Daphne to stop the self pity and get back into the real world, because yes, my sister Gena would do the exact same thing! :-) & I love her for it!
Anyway... This is an all around GREAT romance.. It introduces enough characters that this series could seriously go on for quiet sometime! I like that in a book! Something that the author can build on and keep going with.
My final thoughts, I give Melissa Brown, 4.75 stars.. The -.25 is only because we will just never know what Mayson really thought, or whom the ring was for.. :'( Unless this author wants to fill me in at some point. HA HA! Overall I am a sucker for a happy ending and a great romance! I love the book!
I know at this point that there are 3 books released in this series and I have already read the first couple of chapters in book 2, Champagne Toast, so look for more reviews to come soon from this author and this series!
