KISS THE BRIDE

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 fiancΓ© 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.

New York Times phenomenon Lucy Kevin returns to Rose Chalet, the most romantic wedding venue in San Francisco, bringing three more of her beloved wedding stories together in one volume! The Wedding Dress Dress designer Anne Farleigh creates pure magic with her ideas and her fabrics. She needs some of that magic to rub off when she meets charming P.I. Gareth Cavendish, who delivers some unexpected news. The Wedding Kiss Rose Martin is the owner of Rose Chalet. She's so busy planning weddings for everyone else that she doesn't realize her own special someone has been by her side all this time! Sparks Fly Businessman Will Scott only agrees to a feng-shui design consultation to be polite.
