#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts cordially invites you to meet childhood friends Parker, Emma, Laurel, and Mac the founders of Vows, one of Connecticut’s premier wedding planning companies.
After years of throwing make-believe weddings in the backyard, flowers, photography, desserts, and details are what these women do best: a guaranteed perfect, beautiful day full of memories to last the rest of your life.
With bridal magazine covers to her credit, Mackensie “Mac” Elliot is most at home behind the camera ready to capture the happy moments she never experienced while growing up. Her father replaced his first family with a second, and now her mother, moving on to yet another man, begs Mac for attention and money. Mac’s foundation is jostled again moments before an important wedding planning meeting when she bumps into the bride-to-be’s brother…an encounter that has them both seeing stars.
Carter Maguire is definitely not her type: he’s stable, and he’s safe. He’s even an English teacher at their high school alma mater. There’s something about him that makes Mac think a casual fling is just what she needs to take her mind off dealing with bride-zillas and screening her mother’s phone calls. But a casual fling can turn into something more when you least expect it. And with the help of her three best friends and business partners Mac must learn how to make her own happy memories…
The frighteningly prolific Roberts (see also Black Hills, reviewed on page 42) kicks off a frothy series about four friends who form an all-inclusive wedding service called Vows. Mackensie "Mac" Elliot loves capturing happy and playful moments with her camera, but her own life is all about work-until she meets English teacher Carter Maguire. He's escorting his bride-to-be sister to a meeting with the Vows team and recognizes Mac as the girl he crushed out on in high school. Funny sparks fly: he's a geeky guy who quotes Shakespeare, she's a trendy workaholic who loves shoes. He's crazy about her, which makes him verbally clumsy and, to Mac, charming, though she's saddled with a needy mother, an absent father and difficulties with both that make falling in love complicated. Roberts pulls off a nice switch in making the woman afraid of saying "I do," and her gentle humor and likable cast will immediately endear this series to readers. (May)

Vision in White (Nora Roberts' Bride Quartet Series #1)
Nora Roberts almost never lets me down. Her "In Death" series is one of my favorites, and a few of her mystery/romances have given me book boyfriends. Not as good as Roarke, of course. Never as good as Roarke.
Aww, that's so sweet!
In this book we have four female friends who own a wedding planning company. They each have a specific part of it, and our heroine, Mac, is the photographer. It's just a good thing that one of the other girls likes to bake wedding cakes, another is a florist, and the fourth has a mansion that they use as a venue along with her awesome planning skills. So, yeah, that was.......fortuitous.
Mac has a meet-cute with Carter, but he actually remembers her from high school. So, it's a re-meet-cute. He had a huge crush on her back then, but he was the geeky boy that she never noticed. Luckily, he's grown up and now is a geeky man. Yeah, his character, I wasn't so sure about. He's clumsy. Like, Bella in Twilight clumsy. He literally falls and bumps into things. He's insecure. Like, teenage boy in a classroom with an unexpected erection kind of thing. The guy literally can't figure out how to take a girl on a date, and he is hyperventilating when he does. It took awkward to a whole new level.
Oh, but not! When he kisses her, he's all smoothness and hot. He suddenly turns into Trojan - for her pleasure.
But, seriously? If the guy can't even find his way into an open door without banging into the side and hurting himself, what are the odds?
So, let's take a look at Mac, the girl. She's a typical Nora Roberts heroine - tall, thin, short hair, bitchy, and commitment-phobic. The problem I had with her, other than the bitchiness, was the constant descriptions of her hair. I know that's weird, but it hung me up because they called her hair "orange" and it was always sticking out everywhere. I don't know, a mean girl with short orange hair that sticks out everywhere makes me think of this:
Just walk away slowly.
In other words, I didn't get what the nerdy man saw in her. Of course, maybe just the fact that she let him touch a booby was enough.
Whatever. I am actually more interested in the next books with the other, less clown-like girls. And, I did like the writing and the friendship between the women.
