THE BRIDE WORE STARLIGHT
Seven Brides for Seven Cowboys #3
Lizbeth Selvig
Releasing on February 9. 2016
Avon Impulse
Once comfortable on stage in front of thousands, Joely
Crockett is now mortified at the thought of walking—or rolling—down the aisle
at her sisters’ wedding. Scarred and wheelchair-bound, the former beauty queen
has lost more than the ability to walk—she’s lost her fire. But when one
handsome, arrogant guest accuses her of milking her injuries and ignites her
ire, Joely finally starts to feel truly alive again, and soon it’s impossible
for her to resist her heart’s desire.
Alec Morrissey knows a little something about loss. A
famous rodeo cowboy before he was injured in Iraq, he’s managed to create
something of a normal life, even if it’s not the one he always imagined.
Encountering stunning but damaged Joely, he sees a kindred spirit who can learn
from his mistakes.
As these two healing souls begin to fall in love under
the Wyoming stars, they must discover if they are willing to give in to the
tragedies of life or fight for a future together.

This was one of the most inspiring stories that I have read in a very
long time. Both of the main characters are disabled and learn to find
their way back to what they love doing by relying on each other. I got lost in
this story and did not want it to end. Alec was a lovely cowboy that was not
afraid to speak his mind and Joely is a young lady that is used to being in the spotlight,
but now does anything and everything she can to stay out of it.
Joely is a former rodeo queen that has been dealt a bad hand in life. She had
an accident that left her with many emotional and physical scars that she has
not gotten over yet. Joely is hesitant as to what everyone will think about her
when she wheels herself down the aisle at her sisters double wedding.
When Joely is waiting for her family to finish last minute preparations for the wedding,
she meets Alec and she know immediately who he is. Alec was a famous bareback
rider in the rodeo years ago. Alec is nothing but a gentleman and has
never lost his manners. I loved how these two immediately hit it off, even though
they did not know each other previously.
Alec is suffering from his own scars. He was left without one of his legs when
he was involved in an accident overseas while serving in the military.
Alec has been able to move on a little more than Joely has. He is in a better
place of acceptance, even though by no means has he forgotten what all he has
gone through. Alec is determined to help Joely and she is not so sure about
that. Joely had no idea that Alec had lost his leg but can relate to him so
well once they start talking about everything.
You get lost in this story and are captured by the journey of Alec
and Joely to conquer some of their fears that they still have after their
accidents. I have to say that there was never a down moment in the story
line for me, everything just flowed so freely and kept moving. I was sad to see
this story come to an end. You need to read this one to see what happens to
Alec and Joely. Do they let their pasts ruin them and their chance at love or
do they conquer their fears and learn to depend on each other for everything?
Such a great read!
