Book Review: Merrily Ever After
(Bridesmaids Behaving Badly, #2.5)
by Jenny Holiday
Elise Maxwell is loving her first Christmas with her husband, Jay Smith. So far, newlywed life has been filled with laughter and lots of steamy marital “bliss.” But when Elise discovers she’s accidentally, against-all-odds pregnant, happily-ever-after screeches to a halt. Although she sees it as a Christmas miracle, Elise knows her new husband might not agree…
Jay never wanted to be a father. In fact, he’s avoided it his entire life, worried he’d repeat the patterns of his own messed-up childhood. He’s madly in love with Elise and, until now, he thought they were on the same page about not having children. But her surprise pregnancy changes everything. Elise is suddenly committed to parenthood, and Jay knows he can’t lose her. Facing his deepest fears will be difficult, but with a little holiday magic, Jay might be able to prove to Elise that – as a family – they’re destined to live merrily ever after.
My Rating:
He was perfect. The perfect gentleman and the perfect… not gentleman, as the situation required.
Jay had never thought about sex having magical healing powers. That was for other people. Hippies. People doing breathing exercises and chanting mantras. But clearly there was some healing to do here.
But one thing she’d learned recently was that sometimes it was a good idea to expand your definition of perfection.
I adore this couple and holy scorched sheets, Batman – they have world-class stamina! My beloved Kindle was in extreme danger from industrial strength grip I maintained. Sigh, I am besotted with this quirky collection of friends and how perfectly this gifted wordsmith supplies them with unique and unconventional attributes and challenges. Jay was an unexpected yet highly interesting dichotomy, a sexy and dirty talking accountant. I have to marvel, and giggle-snort at that.
