Book Description
New Jersey new money meets Texas landed gentry when Julia Spinelli falls head over heels for Roman Sonntag. Their whirlwind courtship has their families in an uproar.
In Book One of The Bridesmaid Chronicles, meet Jersey girl Sydney Spinelli, who has her heart set on stopping the wedding between her little sister and her Texan boyfriend of only one month! The only problem is, her heart is getting distraced by the groom's sexy best friend Alex.
From Publishers Weekly
Sydney Spinelli, an uptight accountant from New Jersey, has never been in love. She doesn't believe in making impulsive decisions, so when her flighty sister, Julia, announces that she's marrying her boyfriend of only one month, Sydney rushes to Texas to stop her. However, as soon as she meets Alex, the charming best friend of Julia's fiancé, her plans begin to unravel and she finds herself unwillingly falling in love. The premise that a grown woman would go to such extremes to prevent a sister's wedding-Sydney even steals the engagement ring to prove it's fake-is almost irredeemably ridiculous, and the author's habit of inflicting exaggerated accents on her characters (Sydney's fathers asks, "You heah from dat useless sistah o' yours?") is also distracting. Its many flaws, though, don't spoil this lighthearted comedy completely. The snappy talk keeps the plot in constant motion, and Alex's struggle to deal with his mother's Alzheimer's adds some much needed emotional depth to this otherwise shallow story. Readers looking for an absorbing romance will be disappointed, but this breezy novel may satisfy those wanting something fun and mindless to read on the beach.
From Booklist
Julia is getting married to Roman Sonntag, a man she has known less than a month. So big sister Sydney, an accountant in New Jersey, immediately travels to Fredericksburg, Texas, to talk some sense into her; and Sydney's own romantic misadventures start when Roman's best friend, Alex, overhears Sydney at her most scathing. Determined to teach her a lesson, Alex drags Sydney through a barnyard in the Texas heat before introducing her to Roman, cool and elegant in a designer business suit at his very prosperous vineyard. An embezzlement, Alex's struggle with his mother's early-onset Alzheimer's, and Sydney's unwillingness to admit, even to herself, that she is more than a little jealous of Julia's beauty and newfound self-confidence add depth to this contemporary romantic comedy, the first in the Bridesmaid Chronicles, a series of four by various authors.
