Virginia's Getting Hitched

The Brubaker Brides #9

by Carolyn Zane

Her sisters could make fun of her methods all they wanted. But Virginia Brubaker had devised the perfect plan to get herself hitched. Yet the only man sending Ginny's pulse into overdrive was most certainly not on her list. Why, she'd known Colt Bartlett since they were both knee-high to a calf and, until this summer, Colt had never made Ginny's heart flip-flop. Surely her attraction was only a momentary lapse. Once she kissed him, he'd be out of her system, allowing Ginny to settle down with an appropriate match. Oops . . . looks like that plan just backfired.

Iseng2 lihat ipusnas. Tertarik bc krn sinopsisnya.
Ginny Brubaker seorang psikolog. Mencoba menganalisis percintaan teman2 dan keluarganya. Tapi Ginny sangat buta terhadap percintaannya sendiri. Menyangkal kalau Ginny jatuh cinta kepada Colt Bartlett, teman masa kecilnya.

Jadi, dibuatlah sandiwara untuk menyadarkan Ginny.
Sang adik sebagai sutradaranya dengan Colt Bartlett yang memiliki kepentingan terhadap Ginny.

Ya dahhh menjauh aja dari buku ini.

Konfliknya bikin garing.
Hanya pertengakaran yang bikin pegel sampai menjelang akhir.
2 jam jg selesai bc ni buku.

Oh iya.. abaikan jg jdl buku dgn isi ceritanya krn jauh bgt. Bertolak belakang huahahahaha

Virginia's Getting Hitched: The Brubaker Brides by Carolyn Zane

Dr Virginia Brubaker has her mind made up, but a cowboy named Colt Bartlett is putting a few wrinkles in it for her, and ironing out some silly ideas.

This is the second of the Brubaker Brides series I have read. These are pure brain candy but oh so fun! If you go for a cute, clean romance this might be the ticket.

Virginia aka Ginny kok omongannya seperti Vicky Prasetyo😂😂, mungkin karena dia doktor psikologi jadi banyak kata-kata ilmiah, tapi untungnya adik-adik perempuan malah sering meledek Ginny gara-gara hal itu. Ini ceritanya agak kebalik polanya, Ginny lah yang menganggap cinta tidak penting dalam pernikahan, lebih penting kesamaan status sosial, kekayaan serta minat. Makanya Ginny berusaha mendekati Brandon yang menurutnya setara. Sedangkan Colt ingin menikah karena cinta apalagi pacarnya dulu pergi demi laki-laki lain yang lebih kaya. Colt dan Ginny teman masa kecil, ayah Colt bekerja di ranch milik keluarga Ginny. Mereka bertemu lagi setelah delapan tahun ketika Ginny pergi kuliah dan meniti karir sebagai psikolog. Yang aneh sih ya, Ginny ini katanya psikolog sukses masa ga bisa baca perilaku dan body language orang? Ini seperti malah seperti anak abege yang mengejar cowok hanya karena tampilan luarnya saja. Dan saya ga suka dengan karakter Ginny yang snob, memandang rendah Colt yang "hanya" pekerja ranch milik orang tuanya. Harusnya penulis menggambarkan Colt dengan bagaimana mewujudkan ambisinya punya ranch sendiri, sisi pekerja keras dan handal mengelola ranch lah ini cuma berputar-putar memenuhi keinginan Ginny untuk mendapatkan Brandon.
