Romance Contemporary

The owners of Second Chances are in the middle of planning the second wedding of their new career, and they can't afford any mess-ups. Each person knows this high-profile wedding could make or break their business.

Elaine decides she's tired of her life and wants a makeover, inside and out. Lily is more than willing to help, taking Elaine to a spa and shopping for clothes. Becoming a blonde and giving up her polyester for a stylish look, Elaine is ready to do her part for Second Chances. She isn't sure what that is until she approaches her father for his secret recipes and seeks his help creating a marvelous dinner for their client. Not only do they create magic in the kitchen, but a long-time riff between father and daughter is mended.

Sarah lets Elaine know she doesn't like her new look. The problem isn't that Elaine got a new look, it's Sarah's personal life. Her rock-star boyfriend wants to move to the city and so does their son. Sarah wants to stay and see what happens with Second Chances.

Jo decides all men are creeps after she agreed to have dinner with Jack, a man she met in the parking garage, and learns he has a wife and children. Her father left her as a child for another woman, and the only man she's ever loved left her after he embezzled all her money. The only man she can count on is their receptionist, Andrew, and he's gay. Jo learns, however, that her father wasn't a part of her life because he was made to stay away.

Andrew knows he can't continue his lie when he realizes he can't be seen at the wedding. The reporters would instantly know him and blow his cover. Deciding he'll confide in someone, he chooses Elaine and tells her everything, including how he really feels about Jo. As if the stress of his multiple lives isn't enough, Andrew is also faced with the possibility of losing his daughter to his ex-wife, who walked out on them years ago. Wanting to protect his daughter, he plans to go to Australia for a visit. He tells Jo everything about himself, except that he loves her.

When the Benson wedding goes off without a hitch, they know Second Chances is really on its way. Jo also lets Andrew know she's interested in him.

TWICE UPON A WEDDING is the second book in a series, and it was as good as the first -- ONCE UPON A BRIDE. The characters have great personalities and have so much drama in their lives, it's fun to watch them work it all out. A great weekend book, I can't wait until the next one comes out.

SUMMARY

With their fledgling business Second Chances facing its
first big break, four best friends turned wedding
consultants face second chances–and challenges–of their own.
For always-practical, always-predictable Elaine, it’s a time
for a total makeover... but is the new β€œdream-her” really
her? For Lily, the free-spirited, free-spending sprite, it
was the chance to find the one thing missing from her life
that not even money could buy. And while Sarah, the
self-reliant artist, faces a crisis that proves just how
much she needs her friends, ex-publicist Jo is tantalizingly
closer to true love than she can ever possibly imagine.

Ex-husbands, computer dating, teenage kids–the world’s much
different than when they first said β€œI do,” but one thing’s
the same: they’re all hoping their second chance will be a
charm.
