The Goodbye Bride

Advance Praise for
The Goodbye Bride

“Can romance be any more complicated than a bride who doesn't remember running away from her groom? Denise Hunter's take on a woman's attempt to find her way back to happily ever after again is sweetly endearing. Readers will keep turning pages, wanting to know how true love ever went so wrong . . . and if
The Goodbye Bride
gets her chance to say ‘I do.' ”

“
The Goodbye Bride
highlights the abandonment that so many have experienced. More importantly, within the context of a wonderful Summer Harbor romance, the author deftly illustrates that there is One who will never abandon us, and when we trust Him, we can in turn trust the people He places in our lives. All this packaged inside one heart-stopping, page-turning romance that will leave the pickiest romance reader delighted and asking for just a few more pages.”

“This is an emotional tale of overcoming the fear of loss to love again and God's love, made manifest through people, healing all wounds. The heroine's doubts, fears, and eventual acceptance of the gift God has given her are told in a sympathetic and heartwarming way. The hero's steadfastness is poignantly presented as well.”

“Hunter's latest Chapel Springs Romance is a lovely story of lost and found, with a heroine struggling to accept that trusting God doesn't make life perfect—without loss or sorrow—but can bring great joy. The hero's love for her and willingness to lose her to save her is quite moving.”

“Jane Austen fans will appreciate the subtle yet delightful Austen vibe that flavors this contemporary cowboy romance—and not just because
Pride & Prejudice
is protagonist Annie's favorite book.
The Trouble with Cowboys
is a fast, fun, and touching read with the added draw of a first kiss that is sure to make my Top 5 Fictional Kisses of 2012. So saddle up, ladies: We have a winner!”

—USAT
ODAY.COM

“In the third and final book of the Big Sky series (which can be read out of order), Hunter may use the term ‘cowboy' too much, but she creates an endearing story of a strong woman who learns to have faith in people and God's plan—even if it doesn't make sense at first. This read will not only have fans cheering the characters on, it will leave them feeling inspired in their own lives.”
