This is book two of the "Bride Quartet" series by Nora Roberts. The series is about 4 childhood friends running a wedding business.

This story is about Emma Grant, the wedding florist, who has always loved romance. She gets to play with flowers every day and work with her three best friends in the process. And on the surface, Emma's love life seems to be thriving. Slim and sexy, men swarm around her, yet she still hasn't found Mr. Right.

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. :| ( )

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.

Book description
Since she was a little girl, Emma Grant has always loved romance. So it's really no surprise that she has found her calling as a wedding florist. She gets to play with flowers every day and work with her three best friends in the process. She couldn't ask for a better job. And on the surface, Emma's love life seems to be thriving. Slim and sultry, she brings color into every room she enters, just like the arrangements she creates. Though men swarm around her, she still hasn't found Mr. Right. And the last place she's looking is right under her nose. But that's just where Jack Cooke is. He's been best friends with Parker's brother for years, which makes him practically family. But the architect has begun to admit to himself that his feelings for Emma have developed into much more than friendship. And when Emma returns his passion - kiss for blistering kiss - things start to get complicated at Vows. Jack has never been big on commitment. Emma yearns for a lifelong love affair. And if the two are to find common ground, they must trust in their history - and in their hearts.
