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.

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 .

Story is average, narration is poor

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Average.

Would you be willing to try another one of Emily Durante’s performances?

I'm sorry to say I will never again invest money into anything narrated by Emily Durante. The accused lisp is very light if present at all, but the characters lose depth when portrayed by her soft-spoken and intermittently crisply articulated then mushy-sounding voice, reminiscent of a condescending grade school teacher. Annoying!

Wow, and can I have more please?

I have always liked Nora Roberts' books. I think of them as a moment away from real life and a chance to just float along. But every now and then, she writes a series that is really powerful. (The Pagan Stone) Here is another series that should not be missed! Each book can stand alone, but it is the way the four books allow you to get to know the characters that makes this series a treat. I would love "Vows", their wedding production company to expand into a "Party Planning Production" as the members continue their life stories. I love that they are not afraid to change their lives for one another, in this world where it is "too much all about me and what I want". These fictional young women and men have figured out that it is all worth so much more when you have your family to share it with. And that what you give up to be with your friends and family in the end, really doesn't matter.

Relaxing and intriguing

I'm so glad I listened to this book. It was just what I needed to think about: away from home!

Not the best in the series

Fortunately I didn’t listen to this book in the series first. The other narrator was much better. But you need this book to get the entire experience of the series which is really good.

Wedding business

Disliked the mother enjoyed the friendship of the ladies and the professors and Mac’s courtship

Not so much

Never listened to Nora Roberts before- not sure if this inspired me to buy more although I have heard they can be addictive. Trying not to be offensive but the narrator's lisp is very distracting and each character has the same voice- not distinction and everything is said in a sing-song, high school way. Really wanted to like the story but its just to hard to get past the narrator.

Surprised at Nora Roberts

I wait for all of Nora`s books including JDRobb/I do alot of driving. The reader of this book is very hard to listen. She appears to have a lisp so all of the characters have it as well
so if the reader is important to you do what i am doing buying a hard copy.

A Rare Dissapointment

I just finished listening to Nora Roberts trilogy beginning with the book Morrigan's Cross with the superb narration of Dick Hill. It was a completely satisfying experience both with the epic saga of Ms Robert's story and the many skilled "voices" of Mr Hill. Beginning Vision in White was a jarring change due to Ms Durante's the weakly portrayed male voices and the trite plot device of the whinny parent. One of the few Audible books I didn't bother to finish.
