I held a party for my book’s first one star review….and my crit partner thought I was crazy. So I’m going to throw a party she can enjoy. My first 100 reviews for A Bride for Keeps that are NOT one stars.
In honor of my first 100 non-one star reviews, I’m giving away presents to two different winners. One gets an ebook copy of my crit partner’s first book and and the other a copy of mine. Enter below by the end of October for a chance to win our first books!
Check out her book coming in January! The Wyoming Heir
Wilani Wahl says
I find it hard to believe that someone rated your book so low. I absolutely loved it. I hope you are doing well and enjoying life with your newborn and his siblings. Keep up the great work!
Tima Murrell says
I’m with the first commenter – can’t believe you even got a 1 star. Because I’m really hoping I can win. =)
Martha J. Sturm says
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and not everyone likes what I read. Seriously? One star! I would give it 5 stars!!!
Amy Beck says
I love your writing!
Naomi Rawlings says
What a fun party! See, isn’t this so much better than celebrating a one star review? What WAS that reviewer thinking anyway? I totally agree with the others on that.
Congratulations on a book that’s both well written and well loved. 🙂
Polly Schneider says
Great job! So happy for both of you. 🙂
Paula Osborne says

Jan Hall says
I love that you celebrate the good and bad and that you tok the bad with a grain of salt.
Cheryl Barker says
Would love to win your book for my daughter, Melissa. Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
Christina says
Congratulations!!
Naomi Rawlings says
Well, I baked a cake for this party so that Melissa could celebrate in style, and I would love to post a picture of it. But it just so happens that our camera accidentally got taken home with my parents and is now en route back to us, and my smart phone isn’t working at the moment, so I can’t even take a picture on that.
So everyone please imagine a chocolate cake with coconut cream frosting. It says “101” and has four blue stars on it. Congratulations Melissa!
mary says
Awesome reason for a party! Congrats and thanks for the opportunity!
Lisa Harness says
Look forward to reading both
Barbara Thompson says
Love the covers on the new books! Looking forward to reading the new books!
Bonnie says
Sorry for the 1 star review, Melissa, I know they are dreaded by all authors, but SO happy to see that you are taking it in stride, & joking about it! I’m not a writer, but feel it is inevitable that authors eventually receive a 1 star review, because there is just no way every reader can be pleased. The 5 star reviews, hopefully, recompense for the 1 stars.
Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of either of the 2 books! Would love to read both of them!

Tonja says
Would love to read either of your books!

Every since I read Love by the Letter, I’ve been wanting to read A Bride For Keeps. You sucked me in as a fan! Thanks for the chance to win.
Pam K. says
I don’t understand people who would give a book a one star review. If they didn’t think they’d like it, why even bother to read it? I’ve seen some very good reviews for your book. I’m glad you are staying positive about it. I’d love to win your book so thanks for having this giveaway.
Michelle Corning says
I’m pretty sure one of those is done by me 🙂
June Horne says
I’m loving this giveaway! More new books to read! Now that I have read some of the reviews, this one is on my to read list!
Carol Edwards says
Thanks for sharing the great news with us.
Patty says
Loved your novella can’t see how anyone would give you one star on anything you wrote=)
Ola Norman says
Sounds like a great book. Looking forward to reading it.
Kathalene Seigel says
I have my book, but what a nice gift it would make for one of my friends!!
Abbi Hart says
So my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to read the one 1 Star review. WOW-I don’t think I’ve read a meaner and less true review! She was completely wrong about everything!It was clear that she doesn’t like this genre so I’m kinda confused as to why she’s upset that she didn’t like a book that she knew she wouldn’t like! That’d be like me reading a horror book and then getting mad that I didn’t like it. I really can’t understand why people write things like that! It’s just mean and not helpful! And now that I’m done ranting about how awful that review I’ll end by saying how much I adored your book! It was one of my favorite books I’ve read this year and I’ve read almost 200. Keep up the great work!
Charlotte says
I took my daughter to the Christian book store yesterday and it was fun to see Bride for Keeps in the featured book section.
Denise Heckaman says
I really enjoyed your book!
Bonnie Traher says
Prefer print copies.Would love to win.
Marilyn says
I find it hard to believe someone would rate the book a one star. I gave it 5 stars 🙂 Anyway, keep up the good work.
Bobbi says
Always enjoy this genre!! 🙂
April Schlee says
YAY another author for me to try! Love learning about new ones.
Natalie Monk says
Congrats!! Woot! Woot! 🙂
Nancy M says
I am so excited to celebrate with you! Congratulations! This is a great reason to party and happy to be part of it!
Brittany McEuen says
Well, that is definitely not a one star book! I truly enjoyed it and look forward to reading more of your stories. But happy for the “party”!
