BREAKFAST AT BETHANY'S by Kathleen O'Reilly

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.  That is one saying Bethany Von Meeter vows to end immediately.  Determined to meet Mr. Right, Beth decides to give online computer dating a try, but after a dozen undesirable candidates, she meets Spencer James and things begin to look up.  That is, until she learns that he is a journalist doing a story on computer dating.  Beth's first instinct is to get away from Spencer, but when she contemplates the possibility of having him help her out, she makes him a deal he can't refuse.  In exchange for helping him with his story and allowing him to write about each of her dates, Spencer has to write her personal ads to garner more men and better dates.  But with each date Beth goes on, thanks to Spencer, all she can seem to think about is him, the harsh, yet sexy man she just can't resist...

Spencer James is not looking for love, a girlfriend or a woman period, except to get his story.  But when he meets Bethany Von Meeter, she burrows her way into his cold heart.  After being burned by his ex-wife, who never seems to go away, Spencer doesn't get involved with anyone.  But watching Beth go on date after date and his desire for her spiraling out of control, Spencer discovers he might never be happy without her.  But how can a harsh and cynical man like him, possibly open his heart to a woman like Beth?

Breakfast at Bethany's is impossible to forget!  Kathleen O'Reilly returns with book three of The Bachelorette Pact and brings the readers Beth's story.  I thought the first two books of this series were wonderful and hard to top, but each story is more entertaining and enjoyable than the last.  Beth and Spencer were a hoot!  Their interactions and sassy wit kept me hooked and laughing out loud.  Beth, known as the 'quiet one', certainly livens up the series with her humour and her charm.  She is exactly what Spencer needed in his life.  Their relationship was electrifying and charming.  Ms. O'Reilly is proving to be an author whose writing is becoming addictive. With each book, I have anticipated them all more and more.  Her characters are simply wonderful and unforgettable.  No man can deny these four ladies of The Bachelorette Pact.  Kathleen O'Reilly has a series that shines!

The last Bachelorette has to fall sometime right?  Oh yes, Cassandra is the last lady standing single, but for how long?  This has to be the most anticipated book in the series.  Don't miss book four, The Longest Night (June 04).
