Publisher's summary

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents a novel of love, friendship, and family in Book One in the Bride Quartet.

Wedding photographer Mackensie "Mac" Elliot is most at home behind the camera, but her focus is shattered moments before an important wedding rehearsal when she bumps into the bride-to-be's brother...an encounter that has them both seeing stars.

A stable, safe English teacher, Carter Maguire is definitely not Mac's type. But a casual fling might be just what she needs to take her mind off bridezillas. Of course, casual flings can turn into something more when you least expect it. And Mac will have to turn to her three best friends—and business partners—to see her way to her own happy ending.

I loved the narrator!

I love all of Nora's books but seeing some of the reviews for the narrator Emily Durante, I was hesitant. Well I loved her! She made the characters come alive and I could just "see" them as if they were in the room with me. Great job!

Great listen

This is not my typically genre, but I immediately liked the characters and became invested in their stories.

Love in Focus

What made the experience of listening to Vision in White the most enjoyable?

I was very impressed with Emily Durante's performance. Her character voices were individual and lively and made the whole book a delight.

What other book might you compare Vision in White to and why?

Check out the rest of the Brides quartet. Nora Roberts does it again.

What three words best describe Emily Durante’s performance?

Warm, personal, engaging.

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

Sometimes it's hard to see what's right in front of you.

Narrator ruins a decent story

What did you like best about Vision in White? What did you like least?

Good story overall when I could get beyond the little girl lisp of the narrator. She might be good for a children's book but not for romantic fictions.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The narrator. Did no one direct the production? Her characterization of the main male character made him sound like some kind of thick headed lug, not an Ivy League Ph. D.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Emily Durante?

Any one with a clear well-modulated voice.

Was Vision in White worth the listening time?

I debate with myself on that one. I would suggest members listen to the sample before going to purchase. I enjoy Nora Roberts' works immensely but I wish I had read this one in book form.

I Love this series!

The entire Bride Quartet series was wonderful. However, this book was difficult to listen to. The narrator was terrible. I listened to the series out of order hearing book 2 first, then 3, then 4 before I was able to get this the 1st book and the narrator ruined it for me and I found myself fast forwarding through some parts just to finish the book. It was not the story that bothered me actually it was as good as the others but watch out for the dramatic change from this book to the others. I highly suggest using the same narrator for the entire series.

Great quartet, not that impressed with narrarator

I loved these books so decided to buy the audio for work time, however this narrator feels sounds like she is reading from a sheet of paper instead of sounding natural. She needs some practice, not enough differentiation in the voices which are vast between the girls. Recommend, but not a great narrator.

The narrator takes some getting use to

If you could sum up Vision in White in three words, what would they be?

hilarious, aww inducing

What did you like best about this story?

The story Nora Roberts is a great story teller.

Which scene was your favorite?

When carter banks his head against the door when they first meet lol.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When carter took her for a walk in the snow when she was drunk from her psycho mom.

Any additional comments?

read it. If you like I listened to the other ones first, then the narrator will take some getting used to but in you make it past the first chapter it wont bother you so much.

great start

this was a great start to a great series love mac and i think someone should kick linda though no one should be made to feel like that

Good story, okay narration

Nora Robert's has done it again! The story line is great, and the world development is good. I can't wait for the next book.

Just cheesy enough

Loved how light and easy this was , like watching a romantic movie on a girls night . So cute a story I’m on the third book in this series now .
