A
Wedding Story
By Susan Kay Law
When explorer
Doc Goodale dies he leaves his second wife, the beautiful Kathryn
Bright, virtually penniless. All she has is one trump card –
an invitation to take part in the Grand Centennial Race and net
a cash prize of $50,000. All she needs now is an explorer of her
own to go with her, and who better than the man she remembers forever
after having stolen a kiss in a gazebo once when she was still Mrs.
Goodale. But Lord James Bennett also remembers the kiss, and thinks
of her as having betrayed his longtime friend and mentor Doc with
many other men. Can the two come to a reconciliation and win the
prize? They are going to have a lot of fun trying!
This book is bursting with romance
and some of the pages fairly sizzle. It would have been even better
(in my opinion) if more had been included of the various locations,
as often apart from the mention of a name there is no more sense
of place than that. The various mishaps are fun to read, as are
the gradual changes in the relationships as the characters change
and develop during the adventure. This is actually the third book
in a trilogy about the Bright sisters (Marry Me and The
Bad Man’s Bride being the previous two) and I found myself
wishing I had read the others first as so much had clearly gone
before, although this is a stand-alone story. |
