At the Rose Chalet, wedding venue and service, love is never
far from the air. For designer Anne Farleigh, she dreams of
a love that matches her parents, but her dream gets shaken
when a handsome P.I. brings her news about a half-sister.
For Rose Martin, owner of the Rose Chalet, her current
fiancé is great, but she fears he might never match up to
the love she almost had with another man. Angelina Morgan,
interior designer, has no tolerance for rude men, and that's
exactly what glued-to-his-cell-phone businessman Will Scott
is. Told in three separate stories, the three women learn
what love really means, even when it comes in the most
surprising of places.
KISS THE BRIDE by Lucy Kevin tells the love stories of three
very different women. The first story is Anne's in The
Wedding Dress. While the opening scene of her being served
by P.I. Gareth for being sued by a half-sister she's never
heard of was very intriguing, I had a hard time connecting
with Anne. Throughout the majority of her story, Anne is
heavily in denial over not only the fact that she has a
half-sister, but the fact that the universe doesn't care
about being fair. Anne and Gareth have a very insta-love
connection, and with that, it's hard to see anything that
might have in common to base their fast connection on.
For me, Rose in The Wedding Kiss, is a more relatable
character. I like that she doesn't see things as being
perfect and doesn't try to make them that way. The chemistry
between her and RJ is warm and built very well. Even so, the
plot line is predictable, but I like where they end up.
The last story, Angelina's in Sparks Fly doesn't quite have
the wedding theme as the other two stories. I really enjoy
the feng shui part that Angelina brings in as an interior
designer. Her and Will have an interesting story, though I
do think their plot is also fairly predictable.
Overall, I think KISS THE BRIDE is a little too
cookie-cutter for me, but I can definitely see it appealing
to more hard-core happily-ever-after fans.
