Loading... Bed of Roses (2009)by Nora Roberts
None. Amazon preorder Another of those books you read because they are available under your nose. In reality, a disappointing book mostly because of last 50-60 pages. Book was ordinary at the beginning but lost it in the end - with girl behaving unreasonably. I have often felt that toward the end - since it has to be a happy ending - the tough, alpha male suddenly turns to predictable putty toward the end. Gah. :| Yep, so...that happened. One reason I love reading Nora Roberts' books is because she gets you involved in the entire cast of characters in such a real way. I love her family series and how lots of books are interrelated. This series is really no different. The friendship between the four women is very real and I found/find myself thinking that it feels very true to life. I liked the relationship between Emma and Jack--though I am so sick of the name Emma showing up in books I read. The one I read directly before it was another Emma and I threw up in my mouth a little bit when I started yet another one. I suppose I could've put this one off and read a few in between but I just get so darn excited about a new Nora that I couldn't do it. Anyway, I love when male (or female) leads in her novels are involved in the construction process (i.e. the hottie architect from the Calhoun series, the MacGregor Bride that flips houses and her sexy contractor, etc. etc.) so I liked the architecture aspect of the book.
Though there are few surprises in this cute courtship, those with a TiVo full of Bridezillas should enjoy it, thanks largely to Roberts's effortless wit.
