Ready for Love is a beautiful and inspiring love story. I was riveted to the pages of Ready for Love not only for this magical romance but for the outstanding secondary plot lines as well. This may be my first McCarthys of Gansett Island book but it will not be my last! I am in love with these people and the tiny island they live on.

    This Series Is A Plain Great Series

    I really liked the first two books of the series and I liked this book even better. The characters are really starting to evolve and show their uniqueness. I think that is why it helps to read the books in order to follow the characters easier. It is a good romance with some drama situations included. The McCarthy family which the books are based on could be any family in today's society! Please let the author know if you want this series to continue!

    Disappointed

    I have recently read the first 3 books in this series. I am truly disappointed in this writer. She is entirely too detailed in her sexual scenes. I purchased and read them all,hoping that the next book would be less descriptive. I am not some Holy Roller that can`t handle sex scenes at all. But I do believe there is a fine line between tastefully discriptive and Trashy. I found these books Trashy.

    Excellent love story

    I recently began reading Marie Force. Started with Maid for Love, Fool for Love, and now this one Ready for Love. I am now a big fan of her books. Although its fiction but it is nice to get wrapped into the love stories and forget about the day to day stress in real life. Great read! I will definitely be ordering more of her books, that's for sure!!

    Wonderful Story & Series!!!

    I loved this book! Luke and Sydney are wonderful characters and their story is both tragic and heart-warming. It was also wonderful to find out what the other beloved characters from the first two books are up to. I highly recommend this series! Now I'm starting the next book!!! :)
