I loved the book. Both Rorie and Clay are likable characters, who both try to do the right thing despite their feelings for each other.

Katie is also a likeable and realistic character, which is shown from her putting the man she loves first and helping him get together with the real woman he loves, to being best friends with the man she loves and his wife, a woman who was a rival for his affection.
Two books about brides to be in a small Oregon town. Very sweet.
"Two women - each engaged to the wrong man.
Two weddings - but not the ones they plan."
