Publisher's summary

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 at Vows. 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 so close to the women of Vows that he's 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, though, while Emma yearns for a lifelong love affair. If the two are to find common ground, they must trust in their history - and in their hearts.

feel good romance

I love this series from Nora Roberts. The Bride Quartet is the first books I have read by Nora Roberts and I am getting very attached to the characters. This series is a light easy romantic read. It is not action packed or mysterious but just an all around good love story. I thought I would be bored with these books but I am finding them hard to put down, not because they are nail biting can't wait to turn the next page but because the characters are so well written and you feel like you know them. This is the second book in the series and it focuses on Emma (the florist of the wedding business). It seems each book is going to focus on one friend out of the four friends that opened a wedding business together. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series and will probably go crazy waiting for November to read the last of the four books. If you are looking for a feel good romance then try out these books.

Bed of Roses

Big fan of Audible and Nora Roberts! Could barely finish this book. Think Nora phoned it in, and the reader, while having a lovely voice, definitely wasn't the right voice for this book.

Reader from Hell

I didn't get past Emma walking from the guest house to the main house before I removed the book from my iPod. I was so looking forward to the second book in the "Vision in White" series. I will be reading this book, not listening, unless they rerecord with a new reader.

Another favorite series by Nora Roberts

I really didn't want this series to end. Each of the 'brides' were women I would like to keep as best friends. Their different personalities/quirks complemented each other and were a perfect fit. All four books were fantastic with no offensive sex and little offensive language. I have all this series in books, on my kindle and in Audible. The narration really brought the characters to life and added much depth to the storyline. I miss this style from Nora Roberts and wish that she would write another series. This series and the Boonesboro are my favorite in her true romance

Great Book!

Great book, Great Series! Can't wait to read the rest of the series. If I have one complaint it would be the change in the narrator between books, I like the first one better.
