Genre: Romance/Comedy
Series: Bride Quartet Book #1
I haven't read a romantic comedy in some time and Nora Roberts pens a great one!! I thought Carter Maguire was an adorable, nerdy, English Lit high school teacher. He was so shy around women...especially the one woman he had a crush on since high school. I loved how he talked to himself, giving himself advice on how to handle his attraction to Mackensie. And then there was his friend, Bob, making Carter lists on what to do in different situations involving his relationship with her and advice on dating. Laugh out loud funny. Just the right amount of shyness and clumsiness in Carter that endears him to the reader.
Mackensie is in a class all her own. Confident in her ability as a photographer...a wedding photographer...having her pictures on the cover of magazines. Yet, she is vulnerable in her private life. She has never had a relationship due to her upbringing...she is scared of commitment, doesn't believe in marriage, and only has flings with men. This is all due to the fact that her mother is the "Mommy Dearest" of all mothers. Manipulating Mackensie with guilt, pressure, and she is an overall drama queen with four marriages under her belt. But I do have to say that she gets her just desserts in the end.
Vision in White is a straight romance...no suspense, no scary stalkers...just plain fun!! It is the first book in a quartet which features 4 friends that run a wedding consultant business. They all have different personalities and different backgrounds, but they have been friends since childhood. I loved the bond that they formed and how strong they were together. Mackensie is the wedding photographer, Parker is the OCD mastermind of the business, Lauren the cake decorator, and Emma the florist. They each will have their stories of Happily Ever After.
I had such a great time reading this book...it made me laugh, got me mad, had me tearing up in places...all in all a fantastic fun read.Want something sweet and witty that will make you smile and close the book with Happily Ever After in your heart...then read Vision in White.
