Blog Tour: Treasured by Thursday by Catherine Bybee


Hi Everyone!
I'm extremely happy to be part of the "Treasured by Thursday" by Catherine Bybee Blog Tour! 
I had the pleasure to read the final installment of the The Weekday Brides Series. I will admit, this is the first book of the series I read and I LOVED IT! The good news that while it's the seventh book in the series, it can be read as a standalone. The couples from the previous books do make appearances, however, you are not lost at all. In fact, if you're like me, you're going to want to go back to the beginning of the series and start with "Wife by Wednesday".

Treasured by Thursday 
(The Weekday Brides Series,  #7)
by Catherine Bybee 

Blurb: 
The seventh and final tale in the dazzling, heartwarming, pulse-racing Weekday Brides series.

Gabriella Masini: She’s a woman haunted by her past, with the scars to prove it. She believes that fairy tales are for other people. An elite matchmaker at Alliance, she’s great at crunching numbers, but something doesn’t add up with her latest prospective client: a billionaire bad boy with his own secrets. When Gabi refuses to be his temporary wife, Hunter forces her hand with an offer she can’t refuse. But marriage to a man like that could never last…or could it?

Hunter Blackwell: Only his bank account is bigger than his ruthless ability to obtain anything he wants. These days, he has a secret reason to settle down, at least for a while—and he thinks the sensual and sassy Gabi will fit the bill perfectly. But when their marriage of convenience becomes downright dangerous, Hunter must decide how far to take his vow to honor and protect Gabi forever.

Excerpt


“I think we should talk about what’s going on here.”

She swallowed. “We’re cooking.”

“Gabi, look at me.”

She shook her head, taking the coward’s way out. If she noticed the lock of hair falling into his eyes a second time, she might have to push it back in place.

“Gabriella?” The smooth texture of his voice was like chocolate on her tongue.

His sticky hand tucked under her chin and forced her to meet his gaze.

He stepped closer, his frame molding to hers and pressing her back against the counter.

She couldn’t breathe.

His thumb traced her bottom lip. “This is a bad idea,” he mumbled her thoughts.

She nodded. “Very poor choice.” Her hands gripped the side of the counter to keep from touching him.

Hunter sucked in a deep breath. “You smell like flowers.”

“I’ll change my shampoo.”

He started to dip his head and she kept talking. “Something musky, so you won’t notice me.”

“I don’t think that’s going to work.”

He was close enough to catch the scent of mint on his breath. “I don’t even like you.” One of her legs lifted and rubbed against one of his.

“I don’t trust you.” His hand moved from her lip the side of her neck.

“You blackmailed me.”

“You tricked me into cooking with your mother.”

She smiled. “The two hardly compare.”

Instead of dropping his lips to hers, he detoured to the side of her neck and kept talking, his breath brushing her skin. “Have you met your mother?”

“That’s sill—”

His lips found her neck.

She moaned and closed her eyes. Such a deliciously bad idea.

Viviana's Review: 
I had the pleasure to read the final installment of the The Weekday Brides Series. I will admit, this is the first book of the series I read and I LOVED IT! The good news that while it's the seventh book in the series, it can be read as a standalone. The couples from the previous books do make appearances, however, you are not lost at all. In fact, if you're like me, you're going to want to go back to the beginning of the series and start with "Wife by Wednesday". 

From the moment I started reading I didn't want to put it down. The story was intrigue from the start. Great character development! Oh speaking of characters.... HELLO Hunter! Sexy, smart and some may say ruthless when it comes to business. It's that same determination that he uses to get himself a wife. Perhaps not the best tactic but in the end... it worked for him.

Gabriella was also a great character! Strong and independent. She's trying to move forward from a dark past that seems to have found her once again. I loved that she didn't coward because of the past.

The other thing I enjoyed is seeing the other couples from the previous books. Again, I never read previous books and getting the glimpse of these couples and them as individuals made me want to read their stories to get to know them better. I also loved how they all rallied around and for Gabriella! They are great friends and support her!

Hunter and Gabriella made a great couple! They balanced each other and brought out the best in each other. They became friends before anything romantic occurred. Oh and when the romance does occur it's steamy!!

Catherine's writing style is superb! She has created a world that readers want to be a part of and characters that readers want to get to know and be friends with.


Rating: 4 Stars - LOVED IT
