In this second book of The Bridesmaid Chronicles, we meet
Kiki Douglas, the groom's sister. Kiki, an actress, has
just lost her part on the soap All My Children. When Kiki
decides to drown her sorrows with some medicinal credit
card abuse, she meets New York's most envied super couple,
Tom and Kirstin Brock. He's the heartthrob whose Sinatra-
esque crooning turns women's insides to jelly, and she's
the sweet-faced starlet you just know could be your best
friend. As Kiki enters a dressing room, a charm falls off
her bracelet, right between the feet of Tom. When she bends
to pick it up, the click of a camera signals the end of her
life as she knows it.
Fabrizio Tomba has kept a lot of secrets. As the owner of
New York's swanky new hotel, Affairs, Fab has had numerous
famous people walk through his doors, many on the arms of
someone not their significant other, and he doesn't pass
judgment. After all, they keep him in business. But his
good humor is put to the test when Kiki Douglas walks
through his door. Only that morning, a picture of her
kneeling between Tom's legs graced the cover of several
newspapers. Fab isn't sure that hers is the kind of
publicity he wants.
After convincing Fab that she's not having an affair with
Tom, Kiki persuades him to let her stay in his hotel until
the fever dies down. As they get to know each other better,
the sparks start to fly, and Kiki realizes that Fab might
just be the only man who can handle her. Will she be able
to get this commitment-phobe to see that they were made for
each other?
Kiki is self-absorbed and selfish, and at the beginning I
did not find her a very likable character. But as the story
unfolds and we get to know her better, I found that she
really is a good girl with a good heart, it's just
misplaced sometimes.
New Jersey new money meets Texas landed gentry when Julia
Spinelli falls head over heels for Roman Sonntag. Their
whirlwind courtship has their families in an uproar. And
while Julia and Roman's wedding party has the couple's best
interests at heart, they sure have a funny way of showing
it. But as the big day gets closer and closer, Julia is
sure that love will win out-for her and her bridesmaids.
In Book Two of The Bridesmaid Chronicles, Kiki, an
out-of-work actress and former Miss Texas, takes it upon
herself to save her brother's wedding from bad taste. But
she can't save herself from a nasty tabloid scandal. Until
it blows over, she's hiding out in Manhattan's hippest new
hotel-and enjoying some perks from its playboy owner.
