14 comments

Book Details
Author: Amber Gilchrist
Release Date: January 2014
Publisher: Amazon Digital Services, Inc.
Genre: Contemporary Romance

After reading Amber's first book, Glitch (you can read my review HERE),
I just knew I wanted to read THIS BOOK!
And it was everything I hoped for!

Laugh out loud moments!
Tender scenes!
Witty conversations!
Hopeful dreams!

It's all in there...plus more!

Annemarie is at her younger sisters engagement party when she overhears her older aunts call her a "failure at relationships, a person in stasis"

Determined that they might be right about their ideas of her not being able to progress forward, Annemarie decides she IS going to get married and she is going to do it SOON!

And so starts her "rules of engagement."

They are simple really...

He must be over 25
He must be Mormon
He must be intelligent

And with that list she asks her sister, Lisa, and her brother-in-law, Tanner, to help her find someone who fits the list.

When Tanner's brother, Ben, gets involved words start flying, and feelings get confused, and the rules of engagement list gets longer, and a truly wonderful story flows from the pages!

You will LOVE this one!
A definite MUST READ!

Tour Giveaway
The giveaway is for an ebook of Rules of Engagement for international and US readers, and a set of handcrafted sugar scented lotion/sugar scrub for US readers. If you've read the book, you know the meaning of the sugar scent. :)

About the Author
Amber Gilchrist lives in New Mexico with her husband and three children. She writes YA for upper teens, as well as LDS Romantic Comedies. She calls her lifetime of jumping from one job to another 'experience' for her books and not an inability to settle down. Amber loves mysteries and a good, happy romance. She also loves to laugh. Sometimes she likes all of them together.

A fan of quirky movies and indie books, Amber likes to be with her family, is socially inept, and fears strangers and small yippy dogs. She alternates between writing and being a mom and wife. She tries to do both at the same time but her kids don't appreciate being served lunch and told, "This is the hot dog of your discontent." So mostly she writes when everyone else is in bed.

Ten Fun Things about Amber

1. I am really technologically impaired. I don't have a smartphone, nor can I imagine what I'd do with one. Social media is a necessary evil in my opinion.

2. When I was about 7 or 8 my parents took me to Holland and I made a big fuss about getting some wooden shoes. My parents dragged me all over town trying to find some small enough to fit my feet. When the discovery was made, I tried them on, proclaimed them to be uncomfortable and said I no longer wanted them. Surprisingly, may parents did NOT try to kill me.

3. I ran track in high school because I liked the track suit with the tiger paw more than that I liked to run.

4. My husband is a much better cook than I am. When we were first married people would ask me if I was learning to cook his favorite meals and I was like, 'if his favorite meal is pigs in a blanket, then yes.' And then they'd all laugh like I was kidding but I really wasn't. If not for his cooking and our personal chef, Boyardee, we would have starved for the first several years of our marriage.

5. Arsenic and Old Lace is one of my favorite movies. The Lady Vanishes also ranks up there.

6. I watch little kid shows without my children.

7. Despite liking children's programming, I don't watch TV very much. This isn't some moral superiority thing. It's because I'm just way too ADHD for TV. The first time something distracts me I'm out of there and I just never come back.

8. My house is always dirty. ALWAYS.

9. I never dreamed about my wedding growing up.

10. I'm a convert. I joined the LDS church in 1993 when I was 18

About the Book:
Author: Amber Gilchrist
Release Date: December 2012
Publisher: Amazon Digital Services, Inc.
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Book Description:
When the bishop of a singles ward attempts to use a computer program designed to match clients with insurance programs to match people instead, a massive glitch in his system leads to chaos, hysteria and—just maybe—love.

Greer Pierson spent too long losing her crazy ex-boyfriend to be matched with him again. She’d rather spend another night eating microwave pizza and watching cheesy martial arts movies with her next door neighbor, Ri Mankowitz. And speaking of Ri, he’s way too nice to be a nearly perfect match with a girl who is content to talk about hair for hours.

She wants to see Ri with the right girl and Greer thinks she knows who that girl is. But to get Ri with his perfect mate she’s going to have to do some serious re-matching. And no one is safe. Not even, as it turns out, Greer herself.

Now Greer's about to learn that sometimes everything has to fall apart so her life can finally come together.

My Review:
I LOVE these kinds of stories...

You as a reader know and love the characters so much you can just tell what will be good for them.

But then the author throws in a twist and you wonder...you ponder...you read some more

Then in the end you victoriously shout...I KNEW IT!

This book has such a fun and very creative storyline.
