The authors of AT THE DUKE'S WEDDING a Regency romance,
reunite for the wedding of the year, that of Miss Jane
Sparks and tech billionaire Duke Austen, from Maya
Rodale's groundbreaking Bad Boy Billionaire series.
What's most extraordinary is, with the exception of the
always remarkable Ms. Rodale, it's the other three
authors' first foray into contemporary romance, to
amazing results.
Duke Austen and Jane Sparks are finally tying the knot,
unfortunately the castle they had chosen burned down.
They have to relocate, and who better than Jane's friend,
wedding planner extraordinaire Arwen to have a look at
Brampton House, which could be a suitable substitution.
Miranda Neville handles the opening story with Arwen, who
experiences all sorts of difficulties when arriving at
Brampton House; nothing seems to be going her way, except
where Harry the handyman is concerned: he's delish and
there's absolutely nothing he can't fix.
Then there are problems with the food. Natalie, who is
staying at a cottage nearby, thanks to the generosity of
a friend, only wants peace and quiet while she endeavours
to write a cookbook. That is not to be: the wifi
connection at Brampton House is not working, and everyone
tries to access the cottage's internet access. Archie
Quinn, a workaholic lawyer is desperate to get online but
he's also a sweets fiend, and sees to Natalie's every
need in Caroline Linden's delectable concoction.
Katharine Ashe's contribution is more loosely tied to the
main story line. Cali, a librarian friend of Jane's,
becomes a bit of a Cinderella when she is gifted the
means to attend the wedding of the year in England.
Readers will be delighted with this ode to books while
Ms. Ashe demonstrates that her magnificent prose
translates splendidly into 21st century romance
vernacular.
Lastly the great Maya Rodale handles the bachelor and
bachelorette parties, the madcap war against paparazzi in
her usual clever, witty fashion, to hilarious results and
a romantic conclusion starring Jane's best friend, the
romantically blasé Roxanna, the web gossip, who finally
realises that everyone can aspire to a happily ever
after. I did not expect any less from this brilliant and
ingenious author!
What a treat that Maya Rodale would end her Bad Boy
Billionaire series in such style! And it's a treat
even
if you haven't read Ms. Rodale's book; you will not be
lost. I was amazed at how well the other ever-so-talented
historical novelists transitioned so well into
contemporary, but the revelation is most definitely
Miranda Neville! I cannot even attempt to remain
dignified: she is positively dazzling! Ms. Neville is at
least as astounding at contemporary as she is at
historical: simply genius!
A stately
home in the English countryside seems the ideal place for a
bad boy billionaire and his bride to tie the knot. Until the
Internet fails. And the oven breaks. And paparazzi invade.
And police crash thebachelorette party. And four unlikely
couples discover that passion never waits for perfection,
and happily ever after is just an "I
do" away.
"The Best Laid Planner" by Miranda
Neville Arwen Kilpatrick gets her big break when she's
hired to organize the wedding of an old friend--to a
billionaire. Arwen doesn't have time for romance, not even
with the sexy hotel handyman, Harry Compton. But putting on
the wedding of the year means dealing with one surprise
after another, including the discovery that Harry is so much
more than he seems.
"Will You Be My Wi-Fi?" by
Caroline Linden All Natalie Corcoran wants is peace and
quiet while she writes her cookbook. The lavish wedding
party at the hotel next door is driving her
crazy--especially the sexy lawyer who wants her wi-fi
password. But Archer Quinn is swamped with work and will do
anything to convince her to take a chance on him... first
with her wi-fi, then with her friendship, and then with
more. But he only has a week to persuade her they'll be
scrumptious together...
"The Day It Rained Books" by
Katharine Ashe Swept away by a mysterious benefactor to
the wedding of the year, librarian Cali Blake is living a
fairytale. The only thing missing is Prince Charming.
Instead the guests include the last man she wants to
see--her archenemy, millionaire playboy Piers Prescott.
Piers is determined to conquer Cali's resistance to him, and
he'll stop at nothing to have her. As long as she can
remember it's just for one week, could he be the perfect
wedding fling?
"That Moment When You Fall In Love" by
Maya Rodale Sassy reporter Roxanna Lane might be falling
for her date, sexy media mogul Damien Knightly, who just
happens to be her boss. But he ruins everything by asking
her to report on her best friend's wedding. Damien Knightly
is definitely falling for Roxanna, but thanks to an
impulsive wager he must choose between losing the crown
jewel of his media empire...or the woman he
loves.
The four authors of last year's bestselling At
the Duke's Wedding bring you a modern twist on the Regency
house party.
