I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This took me awhile to get into but I did finally give this book its shot. The story was actually pretty good and I loved the romance that bloomed from two people that really didn’t know each other well. All in all a pretty good read.

I was unable to read and review this book as I couldn't get into this book, will try the authors books in the future.

His Fantasy Bride is book three in Nina Croft's Things to do Before You Die series featuring Gabrielle and Vito. Gabrielle ran out on Vito the night before their wedding with a note and vanished. Vito tracks her down six months later, and when he finds her, she's nothing like the Gabrielle he knew.

Gabby was surprised when Vito showed up one day. She thought they were over. She's now faced with a ton of guilt after deceiving him. Vito thought he knew Gabrielle, but this woman? This woman gets his motor running like no other! He's having a problem reconciling that Gabrielle and Gabby are the same woman. Which version is the real thing??

This book was a very sexy, steamy read! The chemistry was zinging along! I really wanted them to find common ground. Gabby felt so much guilt over starting their relationship on a lie. I felt she got so tangled up that she had to cut and run just to breathe. I'm glad Vito came to find her and wanted to get the answers he deserved. He seemed like such a down to earth guy. They ultimately could not stay away from each other-even when things were not remotely resolved. I wished Gabby would just fess up, but I also understood her fear and thought of not ever being worthy of him. You knew Vito was going to be crushed when the truth finally is revealed. I was glad Gabby stepped up and took control of her actions. All in all, a fun story to loose yourself in!

I really loved this book was excellent an well written with great characters cant wait for more from this series. Love this author too. would totally recommend

Gabby ran out on her fiance the day of their wedding, thinking he didn't really know who she was. And he didn't...he knew Gabrielle, different from Gabby. But Vito wants her back and Gabby wants to show him who she really is so he'll leave her alone. Vito is surprised but finds that he likes both women. Interesting read but Gabby was hard to understand...she was flighty and all over the place, and as awesome of an author that Nina is, Gabby wasn't explained well enough for readers to connect to.
