Series: Bride Quartet - Book 1
Ending: Dreamy and fabulous
I absolutely loved this book, it was exactly like watching a fantastic chic flick, hence the reason I didn't want to put it down and read it until the wee hours of the morning. It is a story about friendship, love, family struggles, personal demons and weddings!
The first book in the Bride Quartet series tells Mackensie, the wedding photographer's story. However, this is a story about four women who live and work together running a business and they are in the business of creating weddings. They have an amazing friendship and bond that has become their own unique family. In this book you'll read about some crazy weddings, some breath-taking weddings and the work it takes to make them perfect.
One of the aspects of the book that I simple adored was the way in which Nora Roberts talks about photography and the gift that it brings. The perfect angle, the perfect moment, the perfect photo! I got my first camera when I was 10, it was one of those automatic Polaroid cameras and such a big deal at the time. So I really connected with photography side of Mac's personality, she also had a complicated relationship with her mother, that most of us can relate to from time to time. You get all this and romance too, it's a wonderful combination!
This is a wonderful read for a day when you need a little pick me up, it takes a little longer to read a book than watch a movie but if you have a little extra time then treat yourself!

This one sounds great Mum! I really can't wait to read it :-)
I have yet to read Nora Roberts but I get the feeling she is an author I will enjoy.
Aw I am thrilled you loved this as much as I did! you are right it is like one long chick flick! I couldn't put it down and it gave me hours of endless pleasure!!
Hi Amanda, I actually read it because you said I should in my Monday post. I really did love it, just a great read!
I have never read Nora Roberts before, but after reading your review I think I will definitely be putting it on my TBR list! Thanks for sharing, I love finding out about new books :)

I had this out from the library but had to return it unread. Now I am no. 15 on the list again! It will come to me again shortly I am sure but it is going to be a long wait!
Wonderful review, can't wait to read it, sounds like a real feel good read!
I always see her books around but I have never read them. But after this..perhaps, at least this one :)
I love Nora Roberts and this book sounds fantastic! Thanks for the great review!
I've just given you an award! You can pick it up on my blog!
I do appreciate the review of this one. I have passed by it a few times in the store, not really knowing if it was a "me" book or not. I am not a big chick flick movie girl... (My fave is The Sweetest Thing)... but after reading your review, I will have to put this on my list TBB's!! Great review!
Hope you have a great weekend!
Stop by when you have a moment I have an award for you. :)

How's the romance in the story Alaine? Or is it more of a woman's fiction book? Thanks Congrats on all your blog awards too!
Hi Caffey, I loved the romance in this book. It is very sweet, it's not the hot sexy rip your clothoes off kind, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I must say though, I've never like Nora Roberts much, this is only my third book of hers. Can't wait for the next one!
