Weak because parts were perhaps a bit too perfect or ideal for me to buy into completely. I finished the book last night with all the feels and the thought that this would be a weak five star review. I can see why this is the secondary plotline because there wasn't enough to be much more than a short story on its own, but Lowe does a fantastic job making it present without overwhelming Tildy and Marc working things out around them. And I particularly liked how he had to adjust and grow with her. I really don't get that, but maybe that's just me? Anyway, once it started getting out and she had to confront her loss and future I really appreciated her growth and Bryan's strength. I had a hard time with her at first because of her desire for secrecy in her cancer diagnosis and mastectomy surgery. Both her and Bryan (Brian? I listened to this one on audible) had some growing to do and them coming together was touching and engaging as well. The better romantic story was Marc's sister. Being with them was fun and while a lot of that was Tildy, Marc had enough humanizing hints to keep me engaged, though it was a stretch at times. I liked that Tildy gets past his defenses and doesn't put up with his nonsense and that she still had the courage to be vulnerable when the time came. Marc starts out arrogant though with a kind of vulnerable bewilderment in his relationship with his family. Tildy is awesome and her determination and kindness and optimistic courage were engaging. So I'm not able to marshal the resources to redo it and you get this crap review instead.

I cannot tell you how dispiriting that is (though if it's happened to you, you probably know). Top Pick.I fat-fingered a page reload after finishing this review once. 'Boomerang Bride is one of the best romance novels this reviewer has read in a long time. Top Pick.'ĭon't miss Saved by the Bride by Fiona Lowe, coming soon! But as unlikely circumstances throw them together, can they let go of their misconceptions and risk their hearts for love? Matilda is not the kind of woman Marc imagined himself with, and Marc is anything but the romantic hero that Matilda has always dreamed of. He doesn't have many warm feelings for his hometown, but meeting Matilda just as she discovers she's been scammed by her online 'fiancé' stirs something in him. In town for his annual family visit, Marc Olsen had never seen a bride quite like Matilda-staring into a storefront window, holding a tottering wedding cake and looking desperately in need of a groom.

Now, wearing a wedding dress, she's alone on Main Street in small-town Wisconsin, and things aren't working out exactly as planned. She'd left Australia to be with Barry-the man who had swept her off her virtual feet. Matilda Geoffrey had risked it all for love.
