Happy Ever After

The Bride Quartet, Book 4

De: Nora Roberts

Narrado por: Angela Dawe

Number-one New York Times best-selling 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.

Parker Brown turned the quartet’s childhood game of Wedding Day into their dream jobs. And now she’s the face of Vows - the one who meets every bride’s demands; keeps every event on schedule; and brings Emma’s romantic flowers, Laurel’s delicious treats, and Mac’s stunning photography together in one glorious package. She knows how to make dreams come true.…

Mechanic Malcolm Kavanaugh loves figuring out how things work, and Parker Brown - with her mile-long legs - is no exception. But as a good friend of Parker’s brother, Mal knows that moving from minor flirtation to major hookup is a serious step.

No man has rattled Parker in a long time, but the motorcycle-riding, raven-haired Mal seems to have a knack for it. His passionate kisses always catch her off guard, much like her growing feelings for him. Parker’s business risks have always paid off, but now she’ll have to take the chance of a lifetime with her heart….

Great ending to the series

This was Parker's story. It tied everything up and we even got to see Mac's wedding. Only sorry we don't get to see the other three weddings. This is one of my favorite Nora Roberts series. Absolutely loved it!

Wonderful ending!

I was thrilled to see Nora Roberts was back to her previous form with this fourth book in the series. The characters were fun and enjoyable! I really loved this final chapter to such a great series. I'm going to miss the characters!!!

Loved it!

Thank goodness they went with Angela Dawe to narrate these last three books! I actually listed to these out of order going 3, 4, 2, 1. If I'd listed to #1 first, I'd never have bothered with the rest of the series. These four Bride Quartet books are classic Nora Roberts in my opinion. Not as good as Blue Smoke or Northern Lights, but still good.

one of her best

The characters are people you want to hang out with. The setting is fun and exciting and there's no one in danger of dying. I loved all 4 of the books in this series!

Happy Ever After

The final book in the Bride Quartet. Wish the series so we know what happens to the other 3 women.

So good!!!

LOVED this series! My favorite series yet!! Wish there was another few books to continue the series!

Good listen, but predictable

Would you consider the audio edition of Happy Ever After to be better than the print version?

As I have not read the print version, I cannot say. However, since it was the unabridged version, it should have been word for word.

What did you like best about this story?

By book 4 I was deeply involved with the characters. I like the premise of an all inclusive bridal company and wish there was something like it locally.

Which scene was your favorite?

When straight laced, dignified Parker took a ride on Mal's motorcycle.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

?

Any additional comments?

Very nice read. But by book 4 I had pretty well figured out the ending before half way thru the book.

Read all 4 in order!

I just love reading a series in order. Narrators were great too. ENJOY
EVERY WORD!

I love this series!

Would you listen to Happy Ever After again? Why?

No, only because I like only reading books once.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Laurel, I could identify with her best.

What does Angela Dawe bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Voices to the personalities

I laught and cried whilst listening to this book

review
The perfect book to end this wonderful series.

Parker Brown loves her life. Working together with her three best friends in their own wedding business is everything she wished for. She doesn't mind the long hours and hard work because she believes in love and giving couples a great start into their marriage makes her happy.
After Mac, Emma and Laurel all found love Parker is wondering what the future holds for her. Sure Malcolm Kavanaugh is sexy, charming, a good son and friend and also hardworking. But he also irritates her whenever they meet. At first Parker isn't sure how to handle the attraction she feels for Mal but comes to realize that giving him and their relationship a chance might be one of the best decisions in her life.
Will Mal and Parker find a way to their personal happy end although on first glance they couldn't be more different?

It's no secret that I adore the books in the Bride Quartet by Nora Roberts and "Happy Ever After" is no exception. The book fits perfectly in this series because it's just as lovely, entertaining and full of great characters as the other three books.
I loved reading about Parker & Mal and how they got to know each other better. On first glance they are quiet different but they value the same things and it's soon pretty clear that they are perfect for each other. I liked Parker from book one on and I was so happy to read how she found love with a great man who respects her dreams and ambitions.
Mal is a fantastic hero. Learning more about his hard past made me want to hug him. I loved how he thinks about cheaters and bullies and that he is as open-minded as the others. Parker and Mal's relationship is even less dramatic than the ones in the other three books and I love that Nora Roberts doesn't need a big showdown to write wonderful and emotional books.
The book is not only beautiful and relaxed but also pretty funny and I had to smile a lot while reading it. One of my highlights is how Parker and Mal dealt with Linda at Mac and Carter's wedding. I thought that there would be something dramatic but the way Nora Roberts wrote it was so much better and made me like Mal even more.
I also loved the scenes in which the guys (Carter, Jack and Del) talked about their fiancees to Mal. To read how much they love and respect their women was heart-warming and wonderful.
Another thing I enjoy in this series is that it's about love and friendship and that Nora Roberts doesn't make differences between heterosexual and gay couples. "Happy Ever After" and the Bride Quartet are a celebration of love and there's no place for prejudices. If you are looking for beautiful romances with great characters that concentrate on friendship and little details then you will love this book and the series.
