This book was so frustrating to me! I would read a sentence, and have to re-read the paragraph over again tring to figure out what was going on. I know that since it is 3 books-in-one that the author probably had to leave stuff out, but goodness not to the point where the reader has to repeatedly re-read. I like Gwynne Forster's books, maybe she should stick to one story per book!

Perfect and stubborn
August and Susan had very different opinions on the way to get what they needed and wanted . They both found what they needed in each other..

Yes, I Do is a collection of three short stories by Gwynne Forster. Now and Forever is the story of interior designer, Deanna Lawford, looking for new and unique items to display. Justin McCall was the very handsome, sexy, salesman that helped her with her purchase. She never dreamed the he was actually the store owner. Justin set his sights on making Deanna not only his business partner but also his wife.
Love For A Lifetime tells of two strangers who meet on vacation and have a wild and exotic romance. Known only by their first names, Ginger and Jason knew that they would see each other again. However, they never dreamed that they would be at each others throats in a court of law as opposing counsel.
In A Perfect Match, Susan Andrews was very superstitious. After spending another New Year’s alone, she was set to start the New Year the same as the old – until her Aunt Grace’s prediction. Grace was a New York City taxi driver who loved to read her customer’s horoscope. August Jackson was one of her regular customers. August looked forward to Grace’s daily horoscope predictions – until he met Susan.
All three stories by Forster were very cute but they lacked that romance magic that makes this genre so satisfying. It was very difficult for me to read each story. There was little passion and way too much conflict for romance stories. The best story for me was Love For A Lifetime because it started hot; yet, it fizzled toward the middle and end.
The book was provided by the publisher for review.

This book consists of three short stories. This book is an ideal read for romance readers. The writing is no great literary feat, but serves its purpose of building a story about 2 people who meet, overcome an obstacle or two, and end up married.
The stories are relatively tame, so this book is a good suggestion for romance readers who aren't on the BDSM bandwagon. It's romance as usual: alpha male meets meek woman and they live happily ever after.

Fell in love with each story. I often live vicariously through the heroine in the novels I read and think of how I would react in the similar situation. It makes me appreciate the book more. Great book from a great author.
