[Review book (uncorrected proof) provided by publisher]


As in Vision in White, one of my favorite things about this series is the wedding business, Vows. Nora Roberts turns it into a character all its own. I have no interest in the wedding-planning business in its own right, but she makes it so fascinating that I'm drawn in. She fills the pages of this series with all sorts of entertaining stories of things going right and wrong during the planning and execution stages of the clients' weddings. From hilarious MBs (that's Monster Brides) to a Matron of Honor that goes into false labor right before a ceremony, everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Where we primarily saw things through the photography end in the first book, now we get to see the floral side of the business. And yes, there really is a bride who insists on having more roses in her bouquet than a friend had in hers!

Once again the characters are delightful. Emma could be perhaps a little too much on the "perfect" end of things--stunningly sexy, beautiful, and sweet. On the other hand, Nora balances that beautifully with the fact that she's so sweet and chipper that she actually does annoy people at times. Jack had a little less depth to him than Carter did, and was a little more bland, but he was still better than plenty of romance heroes in that department.

This is definitely a pure sweet romance book: not for folks who don't want to read about women discussing their feelings, or who need constant action. It's absolutely built on emotion. But it's built on beautiful, very believable emotion, that comes tumbling delightfully from the pages. And yes, I cried at the end!
