Marnie Banks is a 34-year-old who's recently been laid off
from her technology job, is up to her eyeballs in credit
card debt and has been forced to move back home with mom
and dad to get back on her feet. In the midst of a career
change, Marnie is somewhat of a professional wedding
planner "wannabe" -- looking for her big break.
She answers an audition call, of sorts, to coordinate a
wedding for Thrillseekers Anonymous -- a business owned by
four guys specializing in hosting extreme adventures for
very rich clients and Hollywood stars. Eli McCain conducts
Marie's audition and hires her to coordinate an extreme
vacation/wedding on a remote Colorado mountaintop for
Hollywood's hottest "it" couple: Olivia Dagwood and Vincent
Vittorio. The bride quickly morphs in to a bridezilla and
the groom turns out to be a selfish you-know-what with a
bad case of "little man syndrome." The wedding deteriorates
from there.
In the process of planning the event, Marnie and Eli become
quite smitten with each other, even though they each try to
deny it. Eli falls hard for Marnie's quirky personality,
copper hair and maple eyes. Marnie falls hard for Eli's
tough-guy, cowboy-like exterior and his kind heart. Will
these two survive an extreme case of lust with the real
possibility of love in the middle of an extreme wedding
gone bad?
I found this book to be absolutely delightful. If you're a
pop-culture junkie like I am and look forward to receiving
People magazine in the mail every week, you'll definitely
get a kick out of this book. London does a fantastic job
with these characters, as well as creating several other
vivid and amusing supporting characters that will tickle
the reader. I highly recommend this book!
When a pair of A-list movie stars decides to combine a
wedding with an extreme sport outing, ex-stuntman Eli
McCain isn’t too happy. One of Thrillseekers Anonymous’s
founders, he was jilted at the altar a year ago—and has no
interest in hearing wedding bells. Unfortunately, he’s been
outvoted, and now there’s a crazy wedding to stage with a
bridezilla from hell.
In comes wedding coordinator Marnie Banks to save the day—
and, she hopes, make some romantic connections with
Hollywood’s jet set. Only one problem stands in her way:
Eli McCain, who may look like a movie star but clearly has
no appreciation for the finer things in life.
But when a freak storm hits, Marnie and Eli are trapped on
the wrong side of a ravine. Now if someone could just tell
her why this handsome, rugged man is so obviously all wrong
for her—because suddenly she can’t seem to survive without
him…
