"The author makes this book come alive"
The three elderly women, proud of their success with
finding a wife for Owen Chase, decide Calder Brown, who
leaves Bliss, Montana during festivals, is next. However,
the Montana Matchmakers know that confirmed bachelor Calder
will return home to throw his friend Owen a belated
bachelor party even if the man is already married. They
draw up a list of eligible wondering who will throw
Calder's bachelor party. Feeling obligated Cal leaves his vacation in Vegas to
come home to arrange a belated party for his now married
friend. The new owner of the bakery, Lisette Hart, learns
that the lady inside the Big Cake eloped so no sexy woman
is available to leap out of the prop. A reluctant Lisette
jumps from the Big Cake at Owen's event where she meets
Cal. The passion between them results in her pregnancy.
Already having two chidlren and one broken disastrous
marriage under her belt, Lisette rejects Cal's proposal,
but he is not just asking to give the unborn a name. He
wants a lifetime with Lisette. The sequel to A WIFE FOR OWEN CHASE is a warm
contemporary romance that returns many of the characters
from the first book. Though similar in tone and theme as
its delightful predecessor, A BRIDE FOR CALDER BROWN
engages the audience with its humorous yet at times moving
story line and a strong cast. Kristine Rolofson writes an
affable novel that indulges readers with its blissful
ending. Harriet Klausner
