Marry Me Maybe?

This month, Harlequin gives us two complete novels wrapped into one romantic book. We get Tori Carrington’s License To Thrill and Anne McAllister’s I Thee Wed. Let’s see if these authors can get their hero and heroine to the alter.

In License To Thrill by Tori Carrington, we get introduced to the very hunky McCoy men. This bunch of brothers is definitely drool worthy material. Marc McCoy let the only woman he has ever loved slip out of his life, and now that he has realized the depth of his feeling it may just be too late. Melanie Weber is going to marry another man and Marc has to stop her. So when the man who shot her over three months ago escapes from prison, Marc decides the best way for Melanie to be safe is if she was with him and the only way he knows how to get her to co-operate is to kidnap her.

Melanie Weber couldn’t believe Marc kidnapped her. After not seeing him for months, the man who broke her heart, and whose baby she carried, waltzes into her life and whisks her away. She should be furious, but she never stopped loving Marc. When she finds out that she is in danger, Melanie knows the safest place is with Marc and hopefully during that time, she can find out what happened between them, also share her very own little secret about his child.

In I Thee Wed by Anne McAllister, we get to see that loving, then losing, just may lead to love again. Diane Bauer fell in love with Nick Granatelli at first site. She knew that he was the man she wanted to marry. But when his father ended up sick and he had to go home to the family business, he proved to Diane that he didn’t really love her at all.

Three years later, Nick has the chance to make up for the mistake he made when he pushed Diane away. But she has built a life without him, a great job, beautiful apartment and a new boyfriend. And Nick has nothing. He ran away from his family and the pressure of the things they wanted from him. Looking to start over and hopefully gain back the love of the one woman he never forgot. The only way to do that is to start all over, find what makes him happy, become friends with Diane again, and hopefully all the pieces will fall into place.

This combo is one story that will having you turning the pages fast to see if these couples end up at the alter with each other. It shows us that loving someone, no matter what, is worth it in the end and that there is such a thing as second chances. The romance will whisk you away, making you think of your own true love and any obstacles you had to scale to be together. The characters not only battle their demons with what happened in the past, but fight for the right to love the other in the present. I’m looking forward to reading more about Tori Carrington’s drool worthy McCoy men and hopefully we will see a story about the secondary characters from Anne McAllister’s book because you just can’t get enough of them. Marry Me Maybe, is the perfect romance book for those days when you can just curl up and read the afternoon away.
