My Review:
Four unique
stores in one, Not Always a Bridesmaid is a contemporary mainstream collection
of modern-day romance set mostly in the Pacific Northwest. Each story uses characters
from the others to showcase true friendship and love beyond initial
love-at-first-sight relationships.
Skye moved to be
closer to her estranged father, and although an accountant by trade, would like
to eventually trade that job out as an event planner. To earn points for her
resume, she agrees to help engaged girls at her new workplace, not knowing she’s
about to embark on a journey with three of the worst bridezillas ever. Thank
goodness the cute limo driver, Chasen, has her back…and more.
The second story
follows a wedding planner, Bridgette, who falls for a shady character. Everyone
suspects him; even she has second and third doubts, but heartbreak and hilarity
ensue when each of the couple’s friends get involved.
When Kara gets
married at the same wedding venue used in the first two stories, her brother
Darrin’s return for the wedding sends Kara’s friend Jess into palpitations. The
crush of her teen years finally recognizes that she’s grown up. Better yet, he’s
planning to come back and set up shop. Besides that, he’s got a wicked sense of
humor and evil way to cool things down.
In the final
story, it’s Bridgette’s assistant Penelope’s turn for romance. Things sizzle
out of control…and get even hotter when Ferguson’s former scheming lover
returns for more devilment. Ferguson, a PI, shows his stuff when he proves how
deeply he cares for and knows the true love of his life.
Four bite-size
stories for summer getaway reading, Not Always a Bridesmaid will charm the
contemporary romance reader. Each story is told through multiple viewpoints and
include juicy details of wedding venues, dresses, food, romance galore, and way
too-good-to-be-true heroes.
