This book takes an overworked, stoic man and pits him against an independent, experienced woman\u2014 and let me tell you\u2026 the sparks are going to fly!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Marriage Ring<\/strong> is an interesting tale of discovery, matching two very unlikely characters in a battle of stubborn wills. But this battle turns to a love that neither expects\u00a0and a story that leaves the reader with a pleasant smile on their face. It is an odd romantic story, no less sweet, but a strange progression to love and perhaps a little rushed. You do feel the characters getting to know each other better \u2013 something I liked about this book.\u00a0 I often read books where you don\u2019t get a sense of growth between the leading characters and their love then seems too forced. Cathy does not let us down with her loving tale.<\/p>\n<p>Richard, our hero, is a rare breed; a celibate man with a hidden sensual side, a mix of naivety and daring. He is intelligent and hardworking but possesses an air of innocence about him that I have never seen before in a romance novel. I had a hard time warming up to him\u2026 just my personal taste as I like the strong, dominant male types in my stories.<\/p>\n<p>He is a good match for our bold, independent heroine Grace. She is full of fire and spunk and takes nonsense from no one. But a troubled past and a lot of heartache has left her unable to trust, just the ticket when she is traveling in a carriage with a straight-laced man who keeps telling himself he wants nothing to do with her\u2026 but we all know what he is really thinking\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The love scenes in this book are tame but loving, great for those who don\u2019t like the graphic descriptions found in some other books.\u00a0<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Overall, this story was a mild tale that missed the mark on my excitement scale. If a book is \u201clight on the love\u201d it needs to be strong in plot to hold a reader\u2019s interest. That being said, I would still recommend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cathymaxwell.com\/\">Cathy Maxwell<\/a> as an author.\u00a0 I have read at least half of her books and thoroughly enjoyed them all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">7 (Good)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong><span style=\"color: #d6ab00;\"> <span style=\"color: #808000;\">2 (Mild)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Buy Links: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookdepository.com\/book\/9780061771927\/The-Marriage-Ring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Book Depository ~ $6.49<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/search.barnesandnoble.com\/booksearch\/isbninquiry.asp?r=1&amp;afsrc=1&amp;ean=9780061771927\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Barnes &amp; Noble (ebook) ~ $5.59<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/danielledubois.blog.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2508\" title=\"danielle\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/danielle3.png?resize=540%2C148\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"148\" \/><\/a><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Comment to enter to win your own copy of<\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><strong> The Marriage Ring<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-2504\" data-postid=\"2504\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-2504 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Marriage Ring Author: Cathy Maxwell Publisher: Avon\/HarperCollins Pub.
