Heather Montgomery is a thinker, a planner, and then a
doer. When she agrees to go to Las Vegas for her cousin
Regina's bachelorette weekend, it's only because she knows
she'll never hear the end of it if she doesn't. Off to
Vegas go the stunning Regina, Regina's interchangeably
beautiful blonde bridesmaids and Heather who sees herself
as dull in comparison with the others. They are all shocked by
the events of the weekend.
Heading up to her room Heather
finds herself in the elevator with Tony McCaffery, a known
ladies man who hangs out in a local bar she
and her best friend frequent. He's just lost all
his money at the hotel casino and feels his dream of
owning the local bar fading away. When Heather offers to
use the ten-dollar chip she just found to turn his luck
around, Tony thinks she might be a little nutty. One lucky
evening later, they've won enough money to buy Tony his bar,
have a marriage certificate and massive
hangovers.
The first bit of luck makes both of them happy, the second
makes neither of them happy and the last makes it difficult
for them to figure out what to do next.
Mariage could be a problem for a man who doesn't like to
commit and a woman who likes to consider all her options
before making a decision. Now what?
The set-up for TALL TALES AND WEDDING VEILS should feel
forced and silly,
but it doesn't-- Not even a little. The characters have
interesting reasons for the choices they make and it gives
the whole story more oomph. You can't help but root for
these two mismatched people and hope they discover what a
great couple they could be.
Accountant Heather Montgomery is a planner. So never in her
wildest dreams did she think she'd run into sexy charmer
Tony McCaffrey in Vegas, play lady luck, and celebrate his
jackpot with a champagne-soaked night. And she certainly
never expected to wake up the next morning married! How
could this good girl pick a man whose fridge is empty and
whose apartment is a disaster zone, yet still drives her so
crazy with lust she can't see straight?
Quickly hitched and happily ditched, Tony can't wait to get
back to his playboy ways. But when Heather's family is
thrilled that their no-nonsense daughter is finally in love,
he proposes a plan: stay married for a month to repay his
good luck charm, even though she sterilizes his toothbrush
and forbids anything between the sheets. But Heather is more
than he bargained for--a sharp-witted, passionate woman who
just might turn his near miss into wedded bliss!
