Emmaline Grant has always loved romance, so it's really no surprise that she has found her calling as a wedding florist. And she gets to work with her best friends Mackensie, Parker and Laurel - she couldn't ask for a better job. Yet while men swarm around her, she still hasn't found Mr Right. But the last place Emma's looking is right under her nose. And that's just where Jack Cooke is. He's been best friends with Parker's brother for years, which makes him practically family. Now the architect has begun to admit to himself that his feelings for Emma have developed into much more than friendship, and when she returns his passion - kiss for blistering kiss - things start to get complicated.

Reviews

In her second bridal-themed romance about four friends who run Vows, a Greenwich, Conn., wedding planning business, Roberts focuses on Emma Grant while her partners, MacKensie, Parker and Laurel, play supporting roles. In the first installment of this planned quartet, Vows' bridal photographer got engaged, and now florist Emma wonders if she can find true love with old friend Jack Cooke, who is also very close to Emma's associates. When Emma kisses Jack, her "spark-o-meter" melts from the blazing heat, but their romance's setbacks are smoothed out with a little help from their friends. Though there are few surprises in this cute courtship, those with a TiVo full of Bridezillas should enjoy it, thanks largely to Roberts's effortless wit. (Oct.)

Romantically inclined floral designer Emmaline Grant has a successful career and a satisfactory social life-but, so far, the man of her dreams has yet to appear. She seriously doesn't expect it to be her longtime friend, architect Jack Cooke-until a chance kiss on the back stairs turns her comfortable world upside down. VERDICT Ardent, sexy, and romantic, this satisfying story overflows with friendship and laughter; a delightful second installment in Roberts's "Bride Quartet," continuing where Vision in White left off. The ever-popular and prolific Roberts lives in Keedysville, MD. Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
