The frighteningly prolific Roberts (see also Black
Hills, reviewed on page 42) kicks off a frothy series about
four friends who form an all-inclusive wedding service called Vows. Mackensie
"Mac" Elliot loves capturing happy and playful moments with her
camera, but her own life is all about work-until she meets English teacher
Carter Maguire. He's escorting his bride-to-be sister to a meeting with the
Vows team and recognizes Mac as the girl he crushed out on in high school.
Funny sparks fly: he's a geeky guy who quotes Shakespeare, she's a trendy
workaholic who loves shoes. He's crazy about her, which makes him verbally
clumsy and, to Mac, charming, though she's saddled with a needy mother, an
absent father and difficulties with both that make falling in love complicated.
Roberts pulls off a nice switch in making the woman afraid of saying "I
do," and her gentle humor and likable cast will immediately endear this
series to readers. (May)

Kristin Ramsdell - Library Journal
Enthralled by weddings since childhood, best friends Mackensie, Parker,
Emmaline, and Laurel get a chance to live out their dreams when Parker inherits
her family's Connecticut
estate and suggests they go into business as wedding planners, with each woman
taking over a special aspect of the event. Passionate about collecting happy
moments on film ever since she was given a camera for her eighth birthday, Mac
is the photographer, happily staying in the background and focusing on her
work. Marriage is not on her radar, but when brainy, surprisingly perceptive
Carter Maguire accidentally barges into her life, she knows everything is about
to change-if only she will let it. A conflicted heroine and a hero with hidden
depths slowly work their way toward commitment (and marriage) in this tender,
funny, spicy romance that is the first installment in the author's "The
Bride Quartet" series. Roberts (The Pagan Stone) lives in Keedysville, MD.
