"Wedding plans go awry in this delightful historical romance"

Fresh Fiction Review

Wedding of the Season
Laura Lee Guhrke

Reviewed by Sharon Galligar Chance

Romance Historical

Growing up, Beatrix knew that one day she would marry William Mallory. She had loved the handsome neighbor boy forever, and he returned her love as well. They were blissfully preparing for the most talked-about wedding of the season when William received an unexpected letter, a letter that turned both his and Beatrix's world upside down and caused the wedding to be canceled two weeks before the event was to take place.

Years later, Beatrix has finally managed to put Will out of her mind (somewhat) and is preparing for her upcoming wedding to Aiden Trathen when who should pop back into her life but William Mallory -- freshly back from his Egyptian adventures -- and wanting Beatrix as badly as he did before. But would Beatrix put a halt on another wedding as she tries to figure out which man is the right one for her? Or will she take her cousin Julia's wise advice and follow her heart?

I was totally charmed by WEDDING OF THE SEASON, finding it full of romance, a little mischief, and a lot of good fun! Laura Lee Guhrke populates her story with personable characters and provides a fascinating setting for this story of love lost and love found again.

Fans will be overjoyed to know that the second book in the Abandoned At The Altar series, Scandal of The Year, will be released at the end of this month! Guhrke tells Beatrix's cousin Julia's story and it promises to be a doozy!

SUMMARY

Being jilted. It’s awful for a girl.

Especially if your fiancé was also your childhood sweetheart , your prince charming, and the handsome, rakish duke you’d built all your dreams around. Even more awful if he jilted you two weeks before your wedding and took off for Egypt. It would take a girl a long time to get over that sort of humiliation.

But what if six years later, on the eve of your next wedding, he returns and he decides he wants you back? Too bad, you say? But what if he’s as hot, handsome, and rakishly charming as ever? What if his return stirs up all the old passions you thought you’d conquered? What if you find yourself longing for the past and questioning the future? What if you have to spend a whole month at the same house party with him and your new fiancé?

Well, for Lady Beatrix Danbury, that sort of situation is more than awful. It’s impossible. It’s intolerable. It’s a nightmare. But it might also turn out to be her dream come true.
