A marriage pact? What a crazy thing. But then I think again and well, if I had been like these characters I might have do it too. Being that I am already married, well, I don't need a marriage pact. As for this book well, I guess when you're a little Southern belle with a very hot guy friend in college and he says he won't be ready to marry until he is thirty, and you are both drunk at a bar, well, I can see how that would go. I would be saying yes too. I am not claiming to be a Southern belle either. I am far from it, being for the good ole Keystone State.
M.J. Pullen did a wonderful job with this book. It took me a while only because we were busy all weekend and when my dearly beloved husband called off work on Monday, taking a person/sick day, his area boss stopped by to give him his person affects from work that were there because the company he has worked for the last five years closed their doors. This was out of the blue. It had been talked about, but they just decided to send everyone home with possibly no hope of having their jobs and no word if they will get their last pay check.
So after some time of dealing with a few personal things and trying to not be bothered that he is home all day long annoying me and watching every move I make, I finally finished reading the next book on my list of kindle books.
The Marriage Pact - M.J. Pullen was a good read. It starts out in Austin, Texas in April of 2004. The is where you will meet Marci Thompson. She is a temp worker at a firm, and has been a temp there for about nine months. That is where she met Doug Stanton. He is partner in the company. He is also married to his high school sweetheart. It was late one night that Marci was working with him and they were alone and she kissed him. They then started a relationship. It had been going on for some time.
It was on her thirtieth birthday when her best friend from college, Jake Stillwell, emailed her a photocopied picture of the pact they made a few years before in a college bar one night. She started to panic, thinking that her long time friend really meant this pact.
A few weeks later Marci was broken hearted and ran home from Austin, TX to her home town of Atlanta, GA. She had called Jake to come out and get her, which, he did without question. At Marci's sister's wedding the fell into the plan to marry.
Do you want to know if Marci and Jake get married? Then go to amazon.com and download the book and read for yourself. I promise you will like the ending. It could be that it turns out that Doug comes crawling back to her. You never know. there are a few twists and turn to get to the end and be happy. If they end up happy that is.
Thank you for reading. Keep watch for the next read. Not sure when that will be. I would like to break up my time and focus some on my own book. Please feel free to leave comments, if you have read the book, questions for me are welcome, and I will take any recommendation on any books to check out. Once again thank you!
