Book Review ** A January Bride

I really enjoyed reading A January Bride by Deborah Raney. I love to read books about brides and this book is another one of the books in the Year of Brides series. You can read my review of A December Bride here.

Madeleine Houser is an author with a deadline for her next book.  She has just moved from New York back to Clayburn, Kansas, where her mother, who has Alzheimer’s, is in a nursing home.  She is living in her sister’s house that is being updated to be put on the market, because her sister’s husband just got transferred to Ohio with his job.  The updating of the house is causing Madeleine problems as she tries to write in the middle of electrical and plumbing problems, and to top it all off, she sprains her ankle falling down the stairs when she identifies the source of the plumbing trouble.  Her neighbor has the perfect solution…Madeleine can write at the bed and breakfast.

Arthur Tyler, an English professor at the university, and his wife Annabeth, ran a flourishing bed and breakfast until Annabeth passed away. Now he just teaches and has occasional weekend guests. Art, allows Madeleine to use his home to write, and they begin leaving little notes for each other each day.  Both think the other is elderly, as they haven’t been introduced to each other, yet the times that they have actually seen each other in passing, they have both taken note of the other. What will happen when they finally meet? Will romance blossom for them, or will they continue on as they currently are and go their separate ways?
