The second in Jackson’s Unconventional Brides series (after Insert Groom Here) is a charmingly sketched contemporary romp set on Long Island, N.Y. In-demand event planner Lily Perry is concerned with everyone else’s happily-ever-after—and never her own—until she reads about another single woman throwing a wedding for herself and decides that marrying herself sounds like a life-affirming choice. Vincent Caro is still captivated by the erotic interlude he had with Lily at a friend’s wedding. He’s terrified of commitment; he’s busy trying to get his fledgling restaurant off the ground; and when he hears Lily’s marry-herself idea, he thinks it’s ridiculous. But none of that stops him from pursuing a romance with her. Feisty Lily and her even feistier grandmother, Mama Dee, endear themselves to readers from page one, and Vin’s fear and the reasons behind it are achingly real. The author keeps things lively and fresh until the surprising, satisfying conclusion. This engaging (no pun intended) romance will leave readers clamoring for more. Agent: Rachel Brooks, L. Perkins Agency. (May)
To Me I Wed
Have your cake-and true love too. Nightmare bridesmaids' dresses, tasteless fondant icing, budget-busting wedding expenses-some women just aren't about it. They'll laugh off tradition, make their own rules-and find the most outrageous ways possible to flip wedding day lockstep into true love. She's done, finished, had it. Between her family's expectations and being always-a-bridesmaid, Lily Perry is fed up with being nagged to find a husband. She's happy with her life-and tired of being burned by "nice guys" who demand she fit their dreams. So she's going to settle the issue once and for all: by marrying herself. And celebrated chef Vincent Caro's fabulous restaurant is the perfect place for a big-time, blow-out, not-hearing-it-any-more wedding. Lily doesn't care if everyone-including Vincent-thinks she's crazy. Especially when his mouth-watering talent and no-commitments style ignites one sizzling, no-strings fling, or two.or more. But no matter how hard they try to keep things light, their relationship keeps getting hotter. The more Vincent helps Lily tackle unexpected trouble, the more he finds she might be everything he's ever wanted. Can she afford to forget caution and finally let go? And can they both take a risk to discover if what they have is meant to last long after the dessert course?
