Book Review: Summer Brides
by Susan Wiggs, Sherryl Woods and Susan
Mallery
Anthology, Contemporary Romance
The book consists of 3 stories: The Borrowed Bride by Susan Wiggs
(c) 1996; A Bridge to Dreams by Sherryl Woods(c) 1990; and Sister of
the Bride by Susan Mallery (c) 2010.
Since Wiggs and Woods stories are previously published works, this
review deals only with Sister of the Bride by Mallery.
The story is a romantic comedy with a lot of laughs. The
heroine, Katie, is the sister of the bride, who is marrying Katie's
old boyfriend. The wedding events take place over a weekend
and the guests are lodged at the hotel where the events take place.
Katie does not have an escort for the wedding and since the family
would frown on her attending without a date, her mother arranges for
the son of a friend to accompany her. Katie and Howie, now
called Jackson, originally met when they were in their teens and
they did not like each other. At that time, Jackson was
a computer geek with no social skills and Katie was a tomboy who did
not like boys.
Today, Jackson is handsome and wealthy and turns out to be a
fabulous date, but his very attractive ex shows up and wants him
back. Then the bridegroom, who has had too much to drink,
wants to spend the night with Katie, his ex-girlfriend. Aunt Tulle
has eyes for any available man and provides some excitement.
The story is a light read and well written.
