I suppose 2.5 stars would have to suffice. Half way through the book, it became so drab that I had to force myself to continue reading. Now, if I could only find the person who suggested this book to me 🥲🥲Īgreed, Carter was cute and I do have a thing for shy guys but where was the awesomeness I was promised? The unforgettable romance? The Nora Roberts' magic? All I got was a bunch of girls trying to run the show with sporadic claims of what great friends they are and an extremely annoying, attention grubbing mother. There's a bit of girl friends' bonding and a rather lame seduction attempt by a cheating ex- girlfriend thrown into the mix.

Amidst a flurry of brides, mothers of brides, heroine's mother's petulant tantrums and a series of talk-of-the-town weddings, these two make a way towards their own wedding. Chemistry does its thing and both of them start dating.

Enter the hero, a gorgeous nerd who emits goodness and has been crushing on Mac for more than a decade. Absentee father and selfish mother with a penchant for drama have wrecked her childhood and left her a commitment phobic cynic. Mackensie Elliot aka Mac runs a Wedding Planning business with her childhood friends and is a successful photographer. After all the things I've heard about her writing, this was not what I expected. This was my first Nora Roberts's book and I'm actually disappointed. And with the help of her three best friends-and business partners-Mac must learn how to make her own happy memories. But a casual fling can turn into something more when you least expect it. There's something about him that makes Mac think a casual fling is just what she needs to take her mind off dealing with bridezillas and screening her mother's phone calls. He's even an English teacher at their high school alma mater. Mac's foundation is jostled again moments before an important wedding planning meeting when she bumps into the bride-to-be's brother.an encounter that has them both seeing stars.Ĭarter Maguire is definitely not her type: he's stable, and he's safe. Her father replaced his first family with a second, and now her mother, moving on to yet another man, begs Mac for attention and money. With bridal magazine covers to her credit, Mackensie 'Mac' Elliot is most at home behind the camera-ready to capture the happy moments she never experienced while growing up.

Nora Roberts cordially invites you to meet childhood friends Parker, Emma, Laurel, and Mac-the founders of Vows, one of Connecticut's premier wedding planning companies.Īfter years of throwing make-believe weddings in the backyard, flowers, photography, desserts, and details are what these women do best: a guaranteed perfect, beautiful day full of memories to last the rest of your life.
