Judy and Rick’s story stood up to my expectations. I loved that Rick was full on chase mode with Judy. In fact, he could be put under the stalking type of hero. He’s in security, so it is more explainable if your not into that kind of thing… I’m totally into it in my books.
Catherine Bybee has become one of my all time favorite authors. Highly recommend all of her books.
Another bodyguard hit!
I thought this series may have started to run out of steam as the days progressed but that is definitely not the case. Each story is unique and can be read as a standalone but readers will benefit from reading the series in book order to be able to really appreciate and understand the characters and their personal involvement in each story.
For Taken by Tuesday it’s Judy’s turn to shine. Sister of actor Michael Wolf/Gardner and Zach Gardner, Judy became known to readers when Mike and his then-wife, Karen, visited the Gardner home and found themselves embroiled in a kidnapping plot. During this time, Judy finds herself helping Rick, Neil’s bodyguard and ex-marine friend, to find the evidence needed to clear Zach and Karen. Their close promixity sparks that inevitable flame as the two find themselves immediately attracted to one another.
With Judy set to start college, Rick decides that he needs to give her time to complete her degree without any distractions but when her graduation looms, Rick knows it’s now or never where his feelings for Judy are concerned. When Judy decides to take up an internship at an architectural firm in LA and decides, along with BFF Meg, to stay at Michael’s house, Rick knows that nothing will stand in his way where his feelings for Judy are concerned.
With Judy playing hard to get and Rick being determined to win over her emotions, the two entertain readers with a very romantic dance around one another. All seems to be going well if a tad slowly, until Judy’s life is placed in danger and Rick becomes the prime suspect. As expected, the whole of the Weekday Brides gang pulls together to come to help Judy and to clear Rick’s name.
This was another highly entertaining storyline. I do love the bodyguard stories so, after Neil’s book, I was delighted to see Rick’s was story had also been written. Judy was a sweet character and despite being relatively innocent, having lived in a quiet town all of her life, she was also a decidedly strong female and not one to be broken, fortunately. As expected, this story leads onto Meg’s, Judy’s BFF, but Meg is heading outside of the Weekday Brides family for her love interest.
This is definitely an easy to read/listen to series and one which is perfectly narrated by Tany Eby.
I enjoyed that each of these books can be a stand-alone book but it’s even better when read in order. These main characters, Rick & Judy were introduced in previous books. To understand more of how Rick came in to Judy’s life and what his life before this story read the previous books. It makes more sense and you understand more about their relationship. There is intrigue, suspense, humor, sadness and love. Many of the other characters come from wealth but are down to earth people who care greatly about their friends and family, that doesn’t just mean blood related family. I read this book in one day because I had to know how it ended. I’ve read Wife by Wednesday, Maried by Monday, Fiance by Friday, and Single by Saturday. They are all outstanding and worth reading. Thank you Ms Bybee for sharing your stories with us. I look forward to reading more of your books. I’m assuming there’s are tow more in this series?? Sunday & Thursay? I can’t wait to see who are the main characters in these books. Enjoy everyone!
This is the fifth of seven books in the Weekday Bride’s series by Cathrine Bybee and I have loved them all. Based on a unique “service” that a few of the characters provide as well as a security service, the twists and turns make each book different. All seven we’re finish in 10 days – a record for a former non- reader.
I loved this book and all of the days in the series. Can’t wait to read the next one. I like the way this author writes.
