Customer Reviews

A keeper!

I so enjoyed reading this book. I love the length of Duets, just right for a Friday night bubble bath-plus read for each half, but in the past writers have had problems with too complicated stories for the length or not complicated enough, and the humor has sometimes been just too low for my tastes.This book was just right. The characters were fully fleshed out, competent professionals that I could respect and whose sparks and complications sounded real enough. Oh sure, there were a couple of too-cutesy bits (the strip tease???) but they were disposed of soon enough.I liked the situations, I liked the chemistry between both couples, I liked the smart, crisp writing that refused to let me put down the book.Ms. Drew, I definitely will keep an eye out for future books by you!

Keeps the giggles coming -- Highly recommended

ONE BRIDE TOO MANY and ONE GROOM TO GO, two new releases combined into one Duets book, tell the humorous path of matrimony for twins when their grandfather Marsh demands that they marry. Refusal to marry means that he'll sell the Bailey stock and their mother will lose control of the business.In ONE BRIDE TOO MANY Cole Bailey crashes a wedding reception looking for a bride of his own. When he unexpectedly rescues the bridesmaid's dress from permanent damage, he's surprised to see the changes time has made to a former classmate. Tess Morgan's transformation leaves him breathless, but a man can't date a "pal." When Tess looses a bet to him, Cole persuades her to play matchmaker for him. Friday nights will never be the same as he manipulates and monopolizes his way through the weekends and Tess sits home alone, or worse finds herself on a double date with him.In ONE GROOM TO GO, Zach Bailey figures that if he can hold out until his brother and new bride are pregnant, he can get off the marriage hook with his grandfather. He hopes that his grandfather will be amenable to passing his shares of stock to a new Bailey, thereby ensuring that his mother remains in her current position in the company. Until news of unclehood arrives, Zach convinces the host of a home improvement show, Megan Danbury, to becomes his "fake girlfriend" in exchange for saving her career. But Megan is trouble personified on screen and off. She needs him to keep the station owner happy and her career intact, but she'd really prefer to tell him what he can do with his hammer and stripper. Jennifer Drew provides fans of romantic comedy two amusing romps in this Duet selection. The bad-boy Bailey twins find themselves yielding to the demands of the heart with entrancing characterizations and a fun plot. A quick, light read filled with witty dialogue and outrageous situations, this Duet selection comes highly recommended.

Fantastic and Funny!!

One Bride Too Many--Jennifer Drew Cole Bailey needs a bride in order to secure the family business. Tess Morgan is an old friend. She's a girl...surely she can fix him up with some of her friends. But as Cole dates one woman after another, looking for that perfect someone, he finds none of them can even begin to compare to Tess. What are the odds that Tess will see him as more than a chum...what are the odds he can make her love him and see that she's the only woman he needs, and anyone else would simply be One Bride Too Many?One Groom To Go--Jennifer DrewWhen Megan Danbury orders Zack Bailey to strip, she didn't mean his clothes, she meant the paint from the cabinet. Her show is called Do It Herself, not Watch-the-big-Strapping-Man-Do-It, but watching Zack, with or without his shirt, seems to be appealing to her demographics (any female between 1 and 100). As a matter of fact, watching Zack appeals to Megan, too. Sparks fly on the set and between the sheets as Megan orders One Groom to Go, please! Jennifer Drew pens two light-hearted romps down the matrimonial aisle--fast, fun stories guarenteed to leave a smile on the reader's face!
