HAPPY IS THE BRIDE has an interesting concept, take a
wedding and capture four different
unique stories happening concurrently within the scope of the
entire event. Kind of like having different cameras zeroing
in on
different people and activities and producing a video
collage of
the wedding. That's basically the premise of HAPPY IS THE
BRIDE authored by four talented authors each putting their own
unique signature to this lovely book about ultimately finding
happiness and hopefully ending up with a walk down the aisle.
Event one, is MAN OF HONOR by Lori Wilde. This is where we
meet the bride and groom whose whirlwind courtship is at first
questioned by their best friends chosen to be man and maid of
honor. In this case a definite role reversal. A military
pilot is going
to tackle the tasks of the maid of honor, gown and cake
shopping, etc. The dude ranch manager is the grooms man,
woman. Ellie Carson is practically walking on air. She met her
fiancé through some dating interview. But she knew almost
immediately that Brady Cutright was the one. So why wait,
life is
too short, too unpredictable. So Ellie and Brady's wedding
is in
three short weeks. Agh. Problem is that the maid of honor Shane
seems to be in agreement with the grooms man Meg, what's the
big rush. Shane and Meg do not believe in love at first
sight, but their beliefs are about to be challenged big time
and
luckily we are around to enjoy every minute of it.
Event two, GETTING SADDLED by Cat Johnson. In this
segment we get to spend time with Erin the wedding planner.
Erin
has been so busy getting her business going that she has spent
little or no time developing a life out of the office. Erin
gets a last
minute job doing the wedding organization for, you guessed it,
Ellie and Brady's upcoming wedding. Luckily some of the basic
arrangements have already been set up. But still. Three weeks.
Planning the execution of this wedding in short was definitely
going to be a challenge but Erin was up for it. What Erin never
counted on was meeting a cowboy ranch hand that appealed to
her on a totally unexpected level. True case of city girl and
country guy.
Event three, TAMING THE SHERIFF by Kate Pearce. Nate
Turner is a small town deputy sheriff in California and finds
himself in Texas. Nate went to college with Brady and their
friendship transcended distance. Turns out there is quite an
eclectic group invited to the wedding of Ellie and Brady.
Cowboys,
corporate types, lawmen, pop star with his entourage, and
hiding
in plain sight, a member of the paparazzi. Nate couldn't
help it,
his protective instinct kicked in when he spied Della getting
harassed by the men watching the entrance to the hotel.
Their job
was to protect the pop star. Della definitely got under
Nates skin
and he took her under his wing as his date for the wedding
event.
There was just something about this woman. Something even the
big bad sheriff never guessed.
Final act is event four, THE WEDDING BET by Janet Dailey. It's
never a good idea getting goaded into placing a bet. But when
you have a gambler's heart and soul well it's hard to pass
up a
good deal. Something that sounds so easy can't be bad. Think
again. Brady's cousin Linc is a gambler. Nothing he likes more
than a bet. So with a bottle of bourbon against a year of
the best
BBQ ribs the game is on. All Linc has to do is bed his
ex-wife. At
first this was a non-starter. But even if it was perhaps a
stupid
move Linc thinks having even one more night with Tracy was a
win. So the bets on.
Nothing lovelier than romance, weddings, and second chances. In
HAPPY IS THE BRIDE we are treated to all three.
