She left me the week before our wedding.
Said I wasn’t “husband material.”
Actually, I’d have to agree with my ex on that matter…because I’m just better off alone.
But everything changed for me the day I met a mysterious beauty sketching on the beach.
Giselle…
We had one magical night together…and then she was gone—a free-spirited angel who flitted away with the dawn.
I searched until I found her again.
And now I can’t let her go…because I might just be husband material after all.
*Husband Material is the third book in the LEFT AT THE ALTAR series in a collaboration of six New York Times Bestselling Authors: J. S. Scott, Ruth Cardello, Raine Miller, Sawyer Bennett, M. Malone, and Melody Anne.
4.5 ‘French Beach Fairy’ Stars
Oh là là!!! What a perfect little summer read! Sweet, super sexy, fun but a whole lot of emotion, Husband Material packs quite a punch for a novella and holds a grip on us from start to finish.
Gage has just been left on the altar with a very ‘explicit’ letter by his ex bride, that has he completely losing hope of ever finding someone to share his future with…
“She’s definitely right about one thing,” I said suddenly. “I’m not husband material, and I think I’m meant to be single. For good.”
And like the best things in life, a beautiful French girl, Giselle pops up in his beach and in his life, unexpectedly and makes him, after the initial shock at each others chemistry, change his mind little by little.
She’d given me so many. Smiles. In a short time, I’d become rather addicted to Giselle’s smiles.
Her palms pressed along the contours of my chest as if she were a sculptor hand-fashioning her creation—molding the clay to her will—and I was her clay. Willingly.
There were so incredible and amazing things that made me fall in love with Gage and Giselle, first of all how could is see someone who is your namesake – very rare for this girl and always gets me giddy when I do – and that you share so many both similarities and dreams. I adored this woman, she was so very sweet and passionate, but also so mature, strong and in touch with her feelings, she was the perfect female character!
There was something about Giselle that was so diverse and so physical. Like a wild creature in its natural habitat. Except her natural habitat was everywhere. She knew where she wanted to be and she just…went there.
And Gage, oh my… He was such a deliciously sexy, tough guy, but with such a secret tender heart that simultaneously craved and feared to find his soulmate, and his own HEA.
Uneasiness that I was heading into some dangerous uncharted territory…for my heart.
Giselle was the one who’d given me far more than I could ever give to her.
Giselle was all about expression…in everything she did in her life.
How could I not fall for him when he was so completely and utterly smitten by his ‘French Beach Fairy?! From that very first look we could see and feel his enchantment. And how he did everything in his power to find her, more than once, yep, totally swoon worthiness right there. That, the love and care, the steaming HOT- or should I say scorching – sexy times and that last EPIC love gesture made him go straight to my best book boyfriend list!
Giselle was one lucky, but just as wonderful, woman, and just as deeply in love and devoted to him as he was to her.
My beautiful surfing man just does not yet know the depths of what he could give if only he would allow the love to break through the hurt that lived in his heart.
Raine Miller surprised me with Husband Material, considering I never expected that she could still pack all the emotional depth and range that she got us used to in her brilliant storytelling talent, but boy was I wrong! It was everything I was hoping for and more, and one of the best novellas I have ever read! And those little Easter eggs were awesome! A bit more of epilogue – we all know how much of an epilogue wh@re I am, lol – and it would have been the full five stars. I need even more Gage and Giselle, and their future HEA, which I’m hoping we’ll get considering the author’s note that Gage’s friends are getting their own books. Let the stalking begin! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Giselle was it for me. My girl.
The point is, my gorgeous Gi, you are my home. Wherever you want to be is where I will live.”
That’s what I believed, so it became my truth. She had been sent from heaven or somewhere to find me…and save me. To be mine. Forever.
