Blurb:
Parker Brown turned the quartet’s childhood game of Wedding Day into their dream jobs. And now she’s the face of Vows—the one who meets every bride’s demands; keeps every event on schedule; and brings Emma’s romantic flowers, Laurel’s delicious treats, and Mac’s stunning photography together in one glorious package. She knows how to make dreams come true…
Mechanic Malcolm Kavanaugh loves figuring out how things work, and Parker is no exception. Both know that moving from minor flirtation to major hook-up is a serious step. Parker’s business risks have always paid off, but now she’ll have to take the chance of a lifetime with her heart.
Review
Yet another masterpiece from the legendary Nora Roberts.
Every time I read a book written by Ms. Roberts, I wish I was in love, I wish I had someone like the man in her stories. This story, especially, was special.
Parker seemed to be like a very strict, organized woman. She planned and followed through step-by-step. If there were things that didn't go as planned, she would fix it and everything would be alright. However, when things in her life weren't going as planned, she was thrown off. She felt irritated, upset, maybe even "slightly pissed off." On the other hand, her friends thought it was a good thing that she was being caught off guard.
"She's happy, and she's confused. A lot of things make Parker happy. Spreadsheets, for instance, and for mysterious reasons. But very little confuses her."
Malcolm was a man who had a rough past and didn't really want to open up to anyone about it. Parker piqued his curiosity. Eventually, he started telling her things about himself that he's told no one else. He was forced to open up and let her in, even when it was very difficult for him to do so.
Both of them did not expect to fall for each other, but who could control fate? It was a tricky little bugger!
If you haven't checked out this series, I suggest you get right on it. You're missing out otherwise.
Check out these two scenes I enjoyed!
Del: "Just what the hell are your intentions?"
Malcolm: "Jesus. That's a serious question? My intentions are to be with her as often as I can, in bed and out. She's beautiful and she's smart and she's funny even when she doesn't mean to be. And goddamn it, she's got me by the throat."
Parker: "You just show up, look gorgeous, and direct a few people to their seats. It's going to be a beautiful wedding. The cake's amazing. Chocolate marble with a marbleized fondant over buttercream. Laurel's serving it in pools of caramel sauce."
Malcolm: "You think I can be bribed with cake?"
Parker: "It's exceptional cake. And I bet I can confiscate some extra caramel sauce for... later."
Malcolm: "Now you're bribing me with caramel-sauce sex?"
Parker: "I am."
Malcolm: "You're freaking diabolical, Legs."
Parker: "Thanks."
Malcolm: "And the wake-up call? That was to prime me for all this?"
Parker: "Absolutely."
Malcolm: "It was good thinking."
Parker: "You'll do it?"
Malcolm: "I'd like to meet the man who can hold out against caramel sauce."
