Book Reviews of The Wedding DiariesBook Review: Very fine Summary: 5 Stars
In Texas, Max Landy shows a house he lists to his client Vivienne "Pampered Princess" Stansfield. Not long afterward, Vivienne learns that she is in deep debt and her father, who pays the bills, is missing and her fiancé dumped her. Max sees her in Bobby's Place, a popular bar, drowning her sorrows and offers her encouragement. However, she interprets his words as a job offer as a nanny to his younger sisters that he raises. A couple of days later an even more desperate Vivienne accepts.Desperate for someone to care for his two siblings he gives her a chance. As they fight she begins to provide a positive influence on his two wards and his other adult siblings. She feels good that he seems to care about Vivienne and not the media darling princess. Soon Max and Vivienne fall in love, but her faith in Max is shattered when she learns he has kept a scrapbook centered on her since they met twenty years ago as children from different sides of the tracks. THE WEDDING DIARIES is a fine contemporary romance starring two likable lead characters, a host of congenial secondary players (his siblings), and two disagreeable parents. The story line is fun as readers enjoy watching the "Pampered Princess" struggling yet persevering against all odds. Though key issues and problems resolve too easily, Linda Francis Lee provides a delightful tale that sub-genre readers will enjoy. Harriet Klausner
Summary of The Wedding DiariesHe may turn out to be the best gift she has ever received. . . SHE WAS READY TO TIE THE KNOT. NOW SHE?S FIT TO BE TIED.
Texas heiress Vivienne Stansfield?s dream of being a bride was about to come true. But in a startling change of fortune, her safe, reliable fiancé proves himself to be neither?and her wealthy, eccentric father disappears, leaving her with no money, no explanation, and no choice but to find a job. Determined to prove that she isn?t the pampered princess the tabloids say she is, she seeks the position of nanny for sexy real estate mogul Max Landry?s young sisters. With to-die-for clothes and a heart as pure as her gold charm bracelet, Vivi steps up to the challenge. But how to resist her irresistible employer?
Max needs a nanny. But the last person he wants is a knockout who doesn?t know the first thing about taking care of herself, much less two young girls. But once she arrives, he learns that there is more to Vivi than her short skirts and high heels imply. And when she asks Max to teach her about the game of life and passion, this strong-willed man realizes that he wants to play for real, for keeps?and he has no intention of losing this woman?s surprisingly fragile heart.
