Book Review & Give Away: Altared Plans by Rebecca Cornish Talley


From the back of Altared Plans by Rebecca Cornish Talley:

The perfect day. The perfect marriage. The perfect groom. What could go wrong?

Caitlyn has been preparing for her perfect wedding all her life. But when her fiancĂ© abandons her at the altar, Caitlyn vows she’ll never love again.

Going to BYU doesn’t make that easy, however, and avoiding all social contact can only last so long. When her bishop calls her to be the “mom” of her family home evening group, Caitlyn is suddenly thrust into surprising circumstances that leave her flustered—the attention of two unwanted suitors.

Travis, the FHE “dad,” has plans to woo Caitlyn by using his cowboy charms, while Chase has his own ideas for dating her. Will Travis or Chase change her mind about love? Or will it be de¢ja¢ vu?

Follow Caitlyn through all the flirtatious looks, dates, ex-girlfriends, and unexpected surprises. Altared Plans is a light-hearted romance that is sure to please.


My Review:

I truly enjoyed Altared Plans. The characters were fun, but very real. I love a book that has humor and romance in it - and this one has lots of both. I especially loved the scene when Caitlyn helped out at a Special Olympics event dressed up as a clown, the went to the hospital to visit Travis in the same outfit. She received quite the surprise when she got there . . . but you'll have to read it to find out what happened. I'll just say I was laughing so hard, I needed tissues for all the tears!

I actually read this book several months ago, then won an extra copy of it. So this week, I'm hosting a give away. One lucky QOTC reader will win a copy of Altared Plans by Rebecca Cornish Talley. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post by Saturday, November 7th at 12 noon. I'll choose the winner either Saturday afternoon or Sunday and post it here. Good luck!

Or, if you just can't wait to see if you'll win a copy, you can purchase Altared Plans here.

Also - here's the book trailer for Altared Plans. Enjoy!

Rebecca Talley said...

Thank you, Danyelle!

The scene when she's dressed as clown happened to me in real life. After all, they say write what you know.

I loved this book as well, and though I have read it, I don't actually own it. I borrowed Heather's copy. (Thanks Heather.)

Great review, Danyelle.

I could use some good, romantic humor. My husband's away on a business trip to Hawaii. So count me in!

I love the title, and the intriguing point that "altar plans" are sometimes really "altered". That, in itself, is enough to entice me to read your book. It's been on my list since I first heard of it. Only time and cash have precluded my purchase. If I can't beg a copy, I shall try to borrow one or, as a last resort, be tempted to steal one.

Wishing you the good fortune you deserve,
Anna Arnett

Stephanie Humphreys said...

This is on my list but I keep telling myself I can't buy a copy until I read the last two books I bought. Now I could win one though. . . Thanks for all the contests Danyelle.

Kristy said...

Pendragon Inman said...

G'day. What a lucky day to find your blog. :) Now that sounds like a book that i need to read. Been having a heck of a time with "altering" plans myself. Very discouraging.

anyways, i'll be out of town testing for my first Black-Belt while you're picking the winner. :) Wish me luck on both accounts? could use some good news on at least one front

Ooo, I'd love to win this book. Count me in.
