In this third installment of The Bridesmaid Chronicles, we
meet Vivien Shelton, the bride's best friend. Viv, a tough
New York divorce attorney, is astounded that her best
friend, Julia, is getting married. Julia has only known the
guy a few weeks, and even though she knows Julia is
flighty, Viv never expected her friend to go this far.
When Julia's sister, Sydney, tells Viv about Julia's fake
engagement ring, Viv decides she needs to talk some sense
into her, or at least get her to sign a pre-nup. Vivien has
seen enough marriages go bad to know that a girl has to
have a pre-nup. Hopping a plane to Texas, Viv charges in to
save Julia, as Sydney has obviously failed to do.
J.B. Anglin is the groom's lawyer and one of the groomsmen.
He's surprised that his good buddy has decided to tie the
knot at all, never mind in the space of a few weeks. But
J.B. is an easygoing guy and, though he's divorced, he
still believes in love, and therefore wishes his friend all
the happiness in the world. When Viv marches into town with
pre-nups on her mind, J.B. sees red. This may have
something to do with their one night stand three years ago -
-
the one night he can't get out of his mind, the one woman
he's never forgotten, the woman who used him for sex (wham-
bam-thank-you-ma'am, or sir, as the case may be) and threw
him out of her room.
J.B. decides that seducing Viv might just be the best
revenge. What he doesn't know is that she's never forgotten
him either. Misunderstandings and assumptions might just
kill any chance these two have.
FIRST DANCE is my favorite story so far. The characters
have a lot of depth and human vulnerabilities. It's a fast-
paced read, but you still get to know J.B. and Viv and what
makes them tick.
