About this ebook

Single males in need of a bride for a day? This is strictly an at your service business proposition. . . Do you need the eyes of a woman to help plan and/or set up an event with your personal interest and taste in mind, but with an added touch of your bride—if you had one—then call Bride for Hire and let me do the work…


Jilted twice, Bella Reese has no plans to find out if three’s the magic number. She’s done with men. But she’s always loved the idea of being a bride, setting up house, planning parties, making sure things are pretty and homey—the perfect nest for a home…and she’s determined not to give up on that dream. Six months after her final wedding fiasco, she’s turned a new leaf and opened her business, Bride for Hire. So far she’s been amazingly busy with corporate events, with no “homey” entering the equation. Until now…


After being jilted by his ex, rancher Carson Andrews will never make the marriage mistake again. But now his daughter is turning five and he wants to make her fifth birthday special and redecorate his ranch house to make it more “homey” for a growing little girl. The irony of his situation is he lives on the outskirts of Bride, Texas—the legendary home of the jilted bride…a small town south of Fort Worth.


When his cousin Cooper Presley shows him the ad from a Fort Worth newspaper, it’s everything he’s looking for—even the plainly stated absolutely no romance involved. Carson makes the call.


It sounds like the perfect plan—until he meets Bella.

Can two people who have been burned by love find a way to move forward and rekindle a new relationship? Or are there too many risks to chance it? Bella Reese has been betrayed by a man not once, but twice. Now, she's done with them and is determined to make a life for herself as a single woman. However, her passion is with decorating and party planning. Therefore, she decides to start a business called Bride for Hire where she helps create a "homey" atmosphere for her clients. So far, things have been going great. That is, until she's hired by a handsome rancher from Bride, TX. Rancher Carson Anderson knows firsthand what it's like to have someone walk out on him. Divorced and raising his young daughter, April, he decides it's time to decorate and create a fun living environment for her. So, when his cousin tells him about Bride for Hire, he decides to hire someone to make his house a home. What he didn't expect was for the woman stepping out of her car to take his breath away. Suddenly, his decision doesn't seem so good after all. Or, was it the best thing he's ever done? What follows is a sweet story of two damaged people resisting love because they're scared of another repeat. What I liked about the story is that they were mature and honest about their feelings with each other. They each had a lot at stake and couldn't afford another mistake. Character development is good and I felt that the timeline worked sufficiently well. I'm hopeful that the author will branch off from this and write stories about Carson's cousins. Romance - PG, kissing Language - clean My rating - 5 stars

This is a sweet, clean romance about two individuals have have been deeply hurt by those they entrusted their love. Bella Reese has been jilted twice and betrayed by someone close to her. She now has a new business of hiring herself and her services out to create a 
happy moment and /or place for others. Though she can’t live her dreams, she wants to give that dream to others. Carson Anderson and his daughter where betrayed and abandoned by his wife and as a single parent , he would do anything for his daughter April. His cousin , Cooper, whom we have met before in another of Ms Clopton’s stories, shows Carson Bella’s ad. It’s touching to see the relationship Carson has with his daughter, and how the two of them steal Bella’s heart. But the distrust and self- doubts are obstacles neither Carson or Bella seem able to overcome. Will they be able to get their HEA? This is a light, sweet story you will all enjoy. Aside from the main story, it was fun to “see” again the Presley brothers. Can’t wait for their stories to be published. I was gifted this copy . The opinions expressed are solely my own.
