Before I Say I Do

by Tara L. Thompson

Rachel Simms is a successful business manager, devoted preacher’s daughter, and soon-to-be bride preparing to marry the man she’s always loved. But as wedding stress and constant arguments begin driving a wedge between her and Corey, Rachel finds herself questioning everything she thought she wanted.

In the middle of her distress, Rachel meets someone who lights a fire in her the way no other man has, including her fiancé. Drawn into a world of forbidden passion and dangerous temptation, Rachel finds herself caught in experiences that challenge her character and everything she stands for.

Now, with her wedding day fast approaching, Rachel must choose between the life she planned and a desire she never saw coming before she says, “I do.”

3.5 raised to 4 because I met the author and she’s sweet, funny, and sharp—I just loved chatting with her. This book is steamy and I didn’t expect that. It’s also true to life in that the main character who thinks she’s always right learns some hard lessons.

This book was terrible, I'm sorry but it was. The main character was a horrible, judgmental person. She acted in the most selfish, horrible way and learned nothing from her experience.

She gets to live her life guilt free just because. God what a horrible book.

The authors style was different than I am use to seeing, it was very descriptive, in a good way. I am a reader that needs a lot of world building to engage into a story and this author did an amazing job of doing just that.

This is a a well written story about an engaged couple and the stresses that incur when planning a wedding. I loved Rachel's character, she had just enough flaws to make her realistic. Corey, eh sometimes he unnerved me, but overall I warmed up to him as the story went on. This is a very good story and I recommend it to everyone.

Not my thing

Though the story started off okay, I found it difficult to maintain interest. I think the writing style put me off a bit, it was overly descriptive about things that didn't matter (to the point I find myself skimming), but I never felt connected to the characters. The ending just sort of happened, and I didn't feel closure beyond just being ready to move on to another book.
