By Kasey Michaels

Book Overview

What's a dedicated bachelor doing at a week-long society wedding celebration?

Rosie Kilgannon, she of the big wet kiss, is also a guest at the wedding, and although she's used Doug as a way to escape an amorous admirer, that kiss was really something else Why not enjoy each other for the week, no strings attached? Which might have worked, if not for the weeping bride, the suspiciously shifty groom, the neurotic wedding planner...and the fact that True Love often sneaks up on the unwary and belts them right in the chops

Customer Reviews

It's a lot more realistic than you'd think!

I have to admit that part of the draw to this book is that it so mirrors how my husband and I met. The wedding chaos that so strikes other reviewers as too absurd to be real is surprisingly close the wedding chaos that took place all those years ago. Even the characters in our own romance had strange names! I could relate on so many levels to Rosie, and not just for the reasons listed above. Her discussion on wombs was dead on, and her slightly skewed outlook on life made me want to be her friend. Doug is funny, charming, and finally growing up (it only took 40 years!). His apology for the entirety of the male gender endeared him to me greatly. If you're looking for a fun (quick) contemporary romance, this book is it. Not only is it well written, as I've found all Kasey Michaels books to be) but you can rest more easily knowing that it there's at least one couple out here in the real world who has lived through the experience and can attest to how (scarily) accurate it is in some places, how fun it was at the time, and what great memories it gave us (not to mention a great story to tell our kids).

Funny, romantic, sexy - simply wonderful!

This was my very first romance novel...and I am blown away! If you've ever been to the New England area/Jersey...whatever...a 1 week-long wedding celebration doesn't seem so far fetched at all. I absolutely loved the sparks between the main characters Rosie and Doug...what a cat and mouse game. Loved it! I was actually trying to read slowly just to enjoy this story a little bit longer. Think it would make a great movie! I'm now off to finding more of Kasey's books...Can't wait to read more.

Funny, charming, a keeper!

I really enjoyed this one. Rosie and Doug are stuck at a week-long society wedding celebration, and quickly decide to dump the dates they're being set up with by a meddling relative. Rosie and Doug have no other choice than to stick together, and the sparks fly between our hero and heroine. Between sparkling, funny dialogue and scorching love scenes, a great time is had by all! I've already recommended this book to others, and look forward to reading it again.

Delightfully Delicious

Just finished the book last night and want to read it again soon. The repartee between Doug and Rosie is the best. A keeper.

Holy Tracy and Hepburn !!--this book is fabulous!!

Typically I don't trust HQN novels because some of them are just too dumb, but I went out on a limb for this one and picked a baker's dozen of gorgeous long stems for my effort. It's tough to write a smart romantic comedy and this writer got it just perfect. Both the male and female lead are interesting adults who decide to have some "adult" fun during a week-long house party prior to a high society wedding. One thing leads to another, plus one caper after another--all wrapped around smart dialogue creating a delicious escape. Grab a plate of something delish, a fav beverage, put your feet up and get ready to relax and enjoy this gem.
